Children Learn

Famous quotes containing the words children and/or learn:

    Play builds the kind of free-and-easy, try-it-out, do-it-yourself character that our future needs. We must become more self-conscious and more explicit in our praise and reinforcement as children use unstructured play materials: “That’s good. You use your own ideas....” “That’s good. You did it your way....” “That’s good. You thought it all out yourself.”
    James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    We learn about life not from plusses alone, but from minuses as well.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
