Children Should Be...

Seen
Much can be learned when we look beyond the surface of a child and really see them.

Heard
Listening leads to discovering the best in children.

and Believed
What is real to a child is real enough for me.

    Really listening is key-I am feeling badly that I don't listen well enough sometimes-I need to do better-thanks for this inspiration...
    The message you're sending is very powerful-I like the poster idea!
