JOSEPH JOUBERT, Pensées
If a child is given love, he becomes loving ... If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home ... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.
DR. JOYCE BROTHERS, Good Housekeeping, Aug. 2010
Children are the boldest philosophers. They enter life naked, not covered by the smallest fig leaf of dogma, absolutes, creeds. This is why every question they ask is so absurdly naïve and so frighteningly complex.

Emma Goldman
No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.

As we continue our professional growth I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all my colleges. You have shared some insightful articles on Child Development from Europe, the USA, to the seas of the Caribbean. Through each other's lens we were able to value and embrace this wonderful field of studies. I hope that we could continue to support each other as our unremitting passion guide us on the roads least traveled, with the acceptance that we are the foundation that shapes the future.
Natalie,
