Powerful Quote About Children
How we treat our children is a true reflection of us. One quote that I found to be so compelling is a quote by Nelson Mandela,
"There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children". - Nelson Mandela
This statement is a true eye opener in how we as Early Childhood Educators treat our children. Are we not a part of society? Do we not have the ability to change our society? Most theories and ideologies of children are all socially constructed with no concrete defining census behind the treatment of children in our society, and if there is, point proven in why we need to change it. There are so many children, all over the world, who are mistreated, used and abused daily and so many others who are living in poverty. The change begins with us.
“Humans are not born
with the capacity to care for themselves; they are completely dependent on
someone else. A primary caregiver, who is generally the infants’ mother,
father, or principle guardian, is responsible for nurturing and fostering
growth within the infant” (Ranson & Urichuk, 2008, p. 129).
