The truth about children…
In my opinion is that,
They are spontaneous
They are full of life
They are innocent
They are genuine
They are light
They are open
They are NOT as dependent on adults as we may think
They are VERY capable
They need to experience it
for themselves to genuinely learn
Children are NOT robots – they do not always act on your
instruction,
They test – EVERYONE, they need to work out their limits and
boundaries with each individual
They will not show respect if you don’t
They need eye contact
They need reassurance – they do not need banter
They need clear instruction, not fuzzy
They need compromise, gentle conversation & YOUR TIME

Authentic presence by their family and peers is essential,
as is love and security
Time is not important to children, as they live in the
moment.
They are our teachers….
