"Attachment to a baby is a long-term process, not a single, magical moment. The opportunity for bonding at birth may be compared to falling in love--staying in love takes longer and demands more work." -T. Berry Brazelton
Having and raising a child is a whole life commitment. There are many joyous times, but there are many hard bumps along the way. It takes a lot of hard work and determination, but if you can do that anything is possible for you and your child!
“Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.” -LBJ
I believe that LBJ said it all, and unfortunately this quote still rings true today. I wish that wasn't the case but we need to keep trying and pushing forward to a time when we have made it into the vision of the world that LBJ had for us. Welcoming everyone no matter their color, race, religion, abilities, disabilities, and so on.
"As I grew up I wanted to continue to be the teacher, because I had a building passion to make a real contribution to the world, and to fix all the injustices in the world. I wanted to do that through teaching." Louise Derman-Sparks

Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful quotes. It is so wonderful to have such determination and commitment from people of influence to look out for our early learners.
"Attachment to a baby is a long-term process, not a single, magical moment. The opportunity for bonding at birth may be compared to falling in love--staying in love takes longer and demands more work." -I love this quote! Baby is so precious and create warm attachment to the babies would help them feel secured and I believe it would also shape their self-confident skill in the future.
ReplyDeleteThese quotes resonate very strongly with me due to the fact that I chose to populate/adopt and create a posse of little people in my life. It is truly a life long commitment and it certainly does require work. The bumps are there but the joy is sweet. I remember swaddling each of my newborns/infants, even the ones that came a little later. I remember looking at them and thinking I might burst of love. I sometimes couldn't contain it. I really can't express the feeling in words.
