The future which we hold in trust for our own children will be shaped by our fairness to other people's children.

Marian Wright Edelman

When two groups or two people have different ways of guiding children’s behavior, instead of judging right or wrong, early childhood educators must first try to understand those differences where they come from. Are they cultural, familial, individual, or do they come from something else?

Jean Gonzalez-Mena M.A.

Diversity and Discipline

If you and I go out to the field and talk about our views on how to take care of babies, we may be able to see a reality that is bigger than both of us. We may even be able to move from my way and your to our way as we figure out what to do about our differences in this situation with this baby, in this center. If we do all that we’ve reached third space.

Jean Gonzalez-Mena M.A.

What is Third Space and How Do we Get There?

So the passion to create a safer, more just world for all kids is there and I suppose will be there until I die maybe even after, I don’t know.

Louise Derman-Sparks

I see early childhood education, all education, really, as a civil rights issue. Because the right to what we think about in relationship to a childhood, a childhood that leads you leaves you ready for optimum life experiences, a childhood and an education context experience throughout your life cycle that opens up the world to you, that gives you the tools to ask questions and investigating. Those are the things that I want for all children.

I happen to be working a booth at the Midwest Black Family Reunion, for my Sorority and came across this book. I it address some many issue than just becoming The President. The book starts off with a young boy crying because he said he wanted to be President some day and the other kids were laughing. The story and the illustrations go hand in hand. The story keeps the children's attention. It tells about his journey and struggle to the white and lets children know that they can be what ever they want to be as long as they put their minds to it.

Children Learn What They Live

When I was in high school, taking up early childhood this was the first peom that read about childrena and how they learn. This peom has stuck with me all my life.

Children Learn What They Live

By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.

If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.

If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.

If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.

If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.

If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.

If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.

If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.

If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.

If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.

If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.

If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.

If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.

If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.

If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.

If children live with fairness, they learn justice.

If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.

If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.

If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
