Words of Inspiration and Motivation
Attachment to a baby is
a long-term process, not a single, magical moment. The opportunity for bonding
at birth may be compared to falling in love - staying in love takes longer and
demands more work.
I had a built in passion that it was important to make a real contribution to the world"-Louise Derman-Sparks, Professor Emeritus, Pacific Oak, CA
It's not anything that's going to benefit me. It's more to benefit them.-Raymond Hernandez , MS Ed Executive Director, School of Early Childhood Education, University of Southern California- when speaking of the contributions he gives to the field of Early Childhood Education.
I love your first quote. I can identify with it as well. As a parent boy have I made some mistakes. lol My children point them out to me. I also let them know that mommy is not perfect and they tell me I am but I have to explain why I am not. I defiantly want my children to respect me not just because I am their mom, but because it is right. I think at a certain age children need to know parents make mistakes, so that they are not so hard on themselves for the mistakes they will one day make. All mistakes teach a lesson.
