Sometimes itโs so easy to get caught up in โus,โ that we forget about our obligations to one another. Thereโs a culture in our society that says remembering these obligations is somehow soft โ that we canโt show weakness, and so therefore we canโt show kindness. But our young boys and girls see that. They see when you are ignoring or mistreating your wife. They see when you are inconsiderate at home; or when you are distant; or when you are thinking only of yourself. And so itโs no surprise when we see that behavior in our schools or on our streets. Thatโs why we pass on the values of empathy and kindness to our children by living them. We need to show our kids that youโre not strong by putting other people down โ youโre strong by lifting them up.โ – Barack Obama

- Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write or count. Childhood is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace which is right for each individual child. โ Ashley Joy
- Play is the highest form of research- Albert Einstein
- Be careful what you teach. It might interfere with what they are learning. โ Magda Gerber

They are the sons and daughters of Lifeโs longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archerโs hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.โ
โ Kahlil Gibran
