  1. Hi Kiara,

    "If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.
    - Goethe

    I liked that quote. It helps me keep in mind that we shouldn't waste a child's mind but should give that child time to play and develop his or her mind further.

    When I first read this quote, I thought, yes I agree. I knew of Dr. Hiam Ginnot, not a lot so I did a quick search to learn more. I found this video, please watch.

  3. Hi Kiara,

    I really like this quote, I only wish everyone knew the importance of Early Childhood Education, it is important that we advocate for children and early childhood programs so that everyone will learn the importance of them.

    I wanted to personally say thank you for the many interesting discussion post and blogs that you offered throughout this 8 week course. Many times its not the experiences that we go through but its the experiences that others go through, that provides us with direction and information that can help us. Thank You!!! for that direction and information and good luck on your next course although I'm sure there is no luck needed!
