When I think of child development

"Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.
- Dr. Hiam Ginnot

This quote drives home the point that parents and caregivers are such an influence on children. I hear many parents complain about how their children yell and scream and then yell turn around and yell at their child. Children learn tone, phrases, and behaviors from what they see and hear. 


I want to thank Jo Hester and Jolene Hernandez. It has been nice to be in these past two classes with both of you. I have enjoyed learning more about both of you, personally and professionally. Thank you both.

  2. Thank you for the "Thank You".
    I almost used that quote also. It's so true and reminds me of the sponge one. They are so like sponges because they soak up eveything around them.

    Good luck see you in the next class
