What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.

It is probable that there is no one thing that it is of eminent importance for a child to learn.

Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.

Children learn and remember at least as much from the context of the classroom as from the content of the coursework.

The parent knows instinctively that if they're working and setting an example for their child that means that child is more likely to be in school, more likely to stay out of trouble and more likely to complete their education.

The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher.

Children learn what they live.

Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do.

No skill shapes a child's future success in school or in life more than the ability to read.

I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.
