When I Think of Child Development
I have
found the following quotes to be very profound as I think of Child Development:
Oscar
Wilde said: “Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they
judge them; sometimes they forgive them.”
Rosaleen
Dickson quotes: “Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children and
the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional
love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our
children.”
Marva
Collins quotes: “Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow
their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one
idea spark another.”
George
Santayana: “A child educated only at a school is an uneducated child.”
Richard L.
Evans quotes: “Children will not remember you for the material things you
provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.”
John
Fitzgerald Kennedy said: “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and
its best hope for the future.”
Professional Thanks to Dr. Myers & My
Colleagues:
I wish to
thank Dr. Myers & all my colleagues from the bottom of my heart for all
that I have learned from this course on Child Development. When I embarked on this journey, I was so
timid about the different observations that I had to do. However, with the guidance
of Dr. Myers and the immersion in the research and relevant course readings
coupled with the insightful discussions from my colleagues, I saw everything unfolding.
I know that there is a lot more to learn as the days go by and I am submitting
to this new knowledge with an enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

impact as many lives as possible.

Robin
Miller:
I also
wish to thank you for your insights and your discussions that you brought to
this course. It is my sincere desire
that as you continue to teach, you will indeed be the “compass” in the lives of
your children to “activate” them to want to be “lifelong learners.”
