Children are like sponges
Children are like sponges.
They absorb your knowledge,
they sap your strength,
they soak up your resources
and drain your energy -
but with one big squeeze,
they give it all back.

When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments: tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become. Louis Pasteur
A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark. Chinese Proverb
If we don’t stand up for children, then we don’t stand up for much. Marian Wright Edelman
I love the quote, Children are like sponges. Your other quotes are very inspirational as well. Best of luck as we move on to our next class.
ReplyDeleteAlison,
ReplyDeleteI love your quotes!! Especially, the one that says "When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments: tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become." Children are definitely tender and inspire us to have high expectations for them.
