One Of The Most Important

When We Leave Our Child In Nursery School For The First Time, It Won't Be Just Our Child's Feelings About Separation That We Will Have To Cope With, But Our Own Feelings As Well-from Our Present And From Our Past, Parents Are Extra Vulnerable To New Tremors From Old Earthquakes.

Perhaps We Think That We Won't Find Another Human Being Inside That Person. Perhaps We Think That There Are Some People In This World Who I Can't Ever Communicate With, And So I'll Just Give Up Before I Try. And How Sad It Is To Think That We Would Give Up On Any Other Creature Who's Just Like Us.

I Hope That You're Learning How Important You Are, How Important Each Person You See Can Be. Discovering Each One's Specialty Is The Most Important Learning.

As Different As We Are From One Another, As Unique As Each One Of Us Is, We Are Much More The Same Than We Are Different. That May Be The Most Essential Message Of All, As We Help Our Children Grow Toward Being Caring, Compassionate, And Charitable Adults.

Of Course, I Get Angry. Of Course, I Get Sad. I Have A Full Range Of Emotions. I Also Have A Whole Smorgasbord Of Ways Of Dealing With My Feelings. That Is What We Should Give Children. Give Them ... Ways To Express Their Rage Without Hurting Themselves Or Somebody Else. That's What The World Needs.
