Hillary Clinton “The best tool you can give a child is shovel” It is about giving our children the skills they need to overcome adversity and to shovel their way out from under whatever life piles on(Clinton 2006)

I like this quote because skills are necessary to be able to survive, and some of these skills can be learned at early ages. Some of skills include social, emotional, cognitive, and language but are not limited to just these skills.  That is why it is important as early childhood professionals we take the time to make sure we are exposing children to environments where their social, and emotional skills can be expanded.

Week 2 Quote: Edge Perspectives with John Hagel:” We often talk about passion, but we tend to use it very loosely”. We usually refer to passion in passing – it is rarely the primary focus of discussion or analysis. (Hagel 2009)

 

I like this quote because it opened my eyes up to identify the passion that I have to expose pre-school age children a warm loving learning environment. Passion is something that many people tend to put to the side and forget about. I am happy that I have found my passion and I am pursing this passion as far as I can take it.
