"Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk"
- Carl Jung
About this Quote
This quote by Carl Jung speaks to the value of leading by example. Kids discover more from what they observe than from what they are informed. As grownups, we need to bear in mind our actions and how they are perceived by the children in our lives. We must strive to be the very best variations of ourselves, as our behavior will be mirrored by the children we are raising. We should understand our words and actions, as they will form the values and beliefs of the children in our lives. We should bear in mind our own habits and strive to be the best role models we can be. By doing so, we can guarantee that the kids in our lives are educated in the best way possible.
"Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made"
"At the heart of the Reggio Emilia approach is the belief that children are full of potential, competent, and capable of constructing their own learning"
