Famous quotes containing the word children:

    Children who are not spoken to by live and responsive adults will not learn to speak properly. Children who are not answered will stop asking questions. They will become incurious. And children who are not told stories and who are not read to will have few reasons for wanting to learn to read.
    Gail Haley (20th century)

    When children dress like adults they are more likely to behave as adults do, to imitate adult actions. It is hard to walk like an adult male wearing corduroy knickers that make an awful noise. But boys in long pants can walk like men, and little girls in tight jeans can walk like women.
    David Elkind (20th century)

    Our task, regarding creativity, is to help children climb their own mountains, as high as possible. No one can do more.
    Loris Malaguzzi (20th century)
