ReplyDeleteThe quote by T. Berry Brazelton is deep, you really have to think about it, But I think some parents really do not care.
ReplyDeleteYour last Quote is So true. I've volunteered at A Head Start for years and the involvement with the parents is unbelievable. many parents came to the school to volunteer, just to be involved within their child school
ReplyDeleteI really like your quote by Brazelton. I believe that in trying to do right by their children and trying to put them on the best path possible, some parents might seem too overbearing and may make some mistakes. I agree with Kevin, that some parents really do not care. However, when those parents err, those aren't really mistakes, although they often hope to pass them off as such.
