While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what
life is all about.
-Angela Schwindt
This post is meaningful to me because its very true. Children teach us things that we dont even know as adults. We watch them grow from babies to grown ups and we both learn through the experiences.
This quote is so true Terry. They are certainly not empty slates. They remind us that life can be simple and not as complicated as we sometimes think it is. Reminds me of a bibical saying,'The little ones shall lead'.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with this quote selection! I was trying to find one that stated this as well. As educators we spend so much time worried about what we need to teach our students or how can we get them to pass our classes, we never sit back and reflect on what we have learned or gained from them as people. Especially as a new mom I have learned what life is all about from my son. He is always so happy, even when he's crying within seconds he's smiling again. I have to take that lesson in life, even though I was stressed, sad, hurt yesterday I need to wipe those tears, pick myself up and smile and try to make today a better day.
ReplyDeleteThis is very true Terry. Although the truth hurt us all sometimes, children will for sure tell you the truth. Their brains and ideas are so fresh and everyone in some way or another learns from a child. Their imaginations are so bright and in a sense, they are the educators because they can teach us what works for them and what does not!
