If we as parents cut corners, our children will too. If we lie, they will too. If we spend our money on ourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, our children won't either. And if we parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to sniff out. Marian Wright Elderman

Adults find their voice from working with children. Louise Derman-Sparks
Education involves ones values, beliefs and ideas that lead to action. Leticia Lara
Children can be so inspirational, your quote from Louise Derman-Sparks really outlines this. This quote is also very true to my experience!
ReplyDeleteI like your quote from Marian Wright Elderman. It reminds us that parents are the first and most important teacher their child will have. As a parent, we need to think about what kind of person we want our child to grow up and be, and then set the appropriate examples.
