“When we strength families, we ultimately strengthen the community. Our goal is that parents everywhere work with supportive providers, feel confident in their parenting role, and form strong, resilient attachments with their children. To help achieve this, providers must be responsive to parents, knowledgeable about child development, and eager to see every parent succeed.” T. Berry Brazelton
"Part of being who you are has to do with feeling your feelings, which means you'll have a wide range of emotions--not just constant sunshiny happiness."

I see we share an appreciation for Brazelton and Gonzalez-Mena!
ReplyDeleteThese quotes are powerful because they are well-considered reflections by the individuals. Janet's realistic assessment that we all have a wide range of emotions is a reminder that this wonderful work isn't always going to be easy. Raymond's reminder that we must be intrinsically motivated is valuable for us when we become frustrated with all the factors that seem beyond our control.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I like what Raymond Hernandez stated that his passion comes from intrinsic motivation. You really motivated to make a difference in a person life.
ReplyDeleteThese educators show their passion for the field through their quotes. I agree that the work will be hard, but our reward is the success of the children and families we serve.
