"Our role is to walk by their sides as they explore, not let them explore on their own.  At times we need to hang back and be quiet so they can have the time and freedom explore something that fascinates them. At times we need to share their enjoyment and be with them (even if it's the umpty gajillionth rerun of Spongebob Squarepants ;-) At times we need to point things out. At times we need to share the things we love. At times we need to take them to places they wouldn't know to explore." —Joyce Fetteroll |
