“We have a lot of research that says if a child is in a healthy environment, in a loving environment in which there’s bonding between the parents and the child, where there’s positive interaction, so the child starts ready for school, cognitively ready and socially ready, there’s a high probability that child will succeed in life. If not, there’s a high probability she will not”.....Art Rolnik
"I think the biggest thing a parent can give a child today is resilience — helping them see they have the inner resources to overcome whatever they have to"......T. Berry Brazelton
Heather, I chose this exact quote from T. Berry Brazelton because I really believe it! So often I see children who are just unable to cope at all, and I just wish that parents could see how important it is to allow them the opportunity to just think it through and find their own solution to even the simplest problem. Kids are SO resilient!
