Hi Kiendra,
The quote that Renatta made was great. She was right on base with the fact that adults or teachers and administrators must remove themselves form the picture and think about the child.
I chose to write on Friedrich Froebel and Erick Erikson. Erick Erikson was the first to introduce the Psycho social Theory which covers a child's maturation progress from birth to teen-hood and adulthood. He points out that children go through changes in each stage.
Sincerely,
Vinston

Growing Hand in Hand: Words of Inspiration and Motivation
Hi Diana,
I enjoyed the quotes on early childhood education. The contributors from the early days of education made a large impact. their contributions are still relevant today. Like in the case of the two that I chose to write on. They were Friedrich Froebel and Erick Erikson. Friedrich, was the first man to start kindergarten in a children's garden donated by some parents of children that he was teaching.
Erick Erikson was concerned with the human development from child to adult. he introduced the Phycsocial Theory.
Sincerly,
Vinston

Quotes
from two major Contributors to Early Childhood Education
“Children are like tiny flowers; they
are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in
the community of peers,” and “because learning begins when consciousness
erupts, education must also” and “self-activity”.
(“Pioneers In Our Field,” 2000). - Friedrich’s Froebel
Second Erikson’s quotes “ Children love
and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the
triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom” ( www.goodreads.com).
-Erick Erikson
“Someday, maybe, there will exist a
well-informed, well considered and yet fervent public conviction that the most
deadly of all possible sins is the mutilation of a child’s spirit; for such
mutilation undercuts the life principle of trust, without which every human act,
may it feel ever so good and seem ever so right is prone to perversion by
destructive forms of conscientiousness.” (www.goodreads.com).
-Erick Erikson
Passion
“I had a built in passion that it was
important to make a real contribution to the world and to fix all the
injustices that existed in the world and I wanted to do that through teaching”
“Children are still trying to figure out
all their different identities and they’re also trying to figure out who others
are and are still bombarded with both negative and positive messages about who
they are.”
-Louise Derman-Sparks
Motivation
“When
I go to these parents’ meetings and actually see parents learning how to speak
to policy makers, learning how to write letters, learning how to tell their stories
and share their voice that’s what keeps me motivated regardless of the
challenges going on”
- Sandy Escobido
Wisdom
“
It’s not all about you you’ve got to take your ego out and think about this child”.
- Renatta Cooper

A teacher is always learning: Introductions
Hi Celeste,
I am also from a small town. My mother Mary passed away 2006. She worked as an elementary school teacher and she was natural caregiver. I think you have a great mom. She time for us and carried me to work on not many occasions.

Hi Diana,
My mother Mary was single mother and we also grew up outside of town. We had some pear, fig, and plum trees next to our house. My mother was a natural care giver. She took care of some sick people and both young and old and kept my sisters children during the summer break form school.
My father was a bachelor who lived on a farm and farmed all of his life. he had horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, and sold milk for the diary market.

Personal Childhood Web
The individuals that had a great impact on my childhood include: Mary Boyd, Francis Williams, Anliza Williams, Bonnie Collier, Odell Collier, and Naomi Lindsey. These ensured that I was loved, provided for and cared for.
My mother Mary was a elementary school teacher who was a single mother that worked each day to ensure that we were provided for, cared for and loved. She stressed the importance of getting an education. Francis and Anliza were associated of my mother that served as a baby sitter for me in the early years. They provided me with a warm fireplace and a quilt and a meal for the day. Bonnie is an aunt who served as a temporary in home care who helped when we got burned out of our home. She cooked meals, and provided a place to sleep. Odell was the husband of Bonnie who treated me like a son. He served as a family man who helped at the time our home burned by working to provide a place for me and my sister. Naomi acted as a babysitter as well. She offered conversation on what issue that I may have been having.
Today their influence had a great impact on my life. I am find it critical to love and care for each other in times of need or unfortunate circumstances. I find it important to get an education. I find it critical to work and take care of my family. I find it critical to offer a warm fireplace and a quilt to any of my relatives that may be in a position of need. I find it critical to provide meals, a bed, and conversation on possible issues.
Some important things that my mother said that I remember is "to always care for one another under any circumstances", "never steal", and "avoid bad characters".
I am sorry that I have no pictures to post. This was in the early 60s when I was in the early years.

All Things Early Childhood Education: Favorite Children's Book
Hi Bianco,
This is a good book. It has valuable lessons in it. The little engine that could is my children's favorite short film which illustrates that they are able to accomplish anything if they keep to it.

"When you have a child with special needs, you learn to live with a lot of stress and you throw yourself into your everyday job as a parent; if you work outside the home, you work even harder - and you don't think much about taking care of yourself" ( www.autism.about.com).
This particular quote came from a parent with autism evidently they have learned to live with the diagnosis.
My spouse and I have a child with autism and can relate to this quote.
