"There is no development without relationships" Dr. Jack P. Shonkoff
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" Ralph Waldo Emerson
"No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure" Emma Goldman
The Tone of Voice
I'ts not so much what we say
As the manner in which we say it.
It's not so much the language we use
As the tone in which we convey it.
"Come here!" I sharply ordered;
And a child cowered and wept.
"Come here," I softly whispere;
And into my arms he crept.
Words may be mild and fair,
But the tone pierces like a dart.
Words may be soft as summer air,
But the tone can break a heart.

Amy,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your quote about the tones of voices used in talking to children. When I walk through a department store, and hear parents yelling at children, I wish I could educate them. I wish I could read your quote to them.
Thank you for all of your support during this course. I appreciate all of your comments! I will be taking the summer off, and resuming in the fall. I hope to be in class with you again! Have a great Easter!
