Quote about children: " The more children know that you value them, that you consider them  extraordinary people, the more willing they will be to listen to you and afford you the same esteem. And the more appropriate your teaching, based on your knowledge of them, the more eager your children will be to learn from you. . And the more they learn, the more extraordinary they will become."
M. Scott Peck, American Psychiatrist and author of "The Road Less Travelled".
