“If you wait to live you will never succeed. Living begins today and it begins within you.”

“Children should be witnesses of parental affection.”

“Remind children that their successes and failures are not representations of their worth.”

“Children want to feel as though their life matters.”

“Children are sponges, soaking up every verbal and nonverbal interaction.”

“Do not forget that children are like rainbows; they come in an array of personalities, levels of resiliency, and a variety of temperaments.”
