Educate your children to be happy


Do not educate your child to be rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up, they'll know the value of things, not the price.

A child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.” ~ Pablo Casals

“A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.” ~ Paulo Coelho

“Love is the supreme form of communication.
 In the hierarchy of needs, love stands as the supreme developing 
agent of the humanity of the person. As such, the teaching of love 
should be the central core of all early childhood curriculum
 with all other subjects growing naturally out of such teaching.”
~ Ashley Montagu

“Remember: everyone in the classroom has a story that leads to misbehavior or defiance. 9 times out of 10, the story behind the misbehavior won’t make you angry. It will break your heart.” ~ Annette Breaux

“Encouraging a child means that one or more of the following critical life messages are coming through, either by word or by action: I believe in you, I trust you, I know you can handle this, You are listened to, You are cared for, You are very important to me.” ~ Barbara Coloroso
