Each kid has a different level of expertise and some of them are very raw and inexperienced and some are incredibly mature and experienced. So you just have to go with what they are rather than have some abstract technique that you're going to try to apply to them.

Every kid has something they're good at, that you hope they find and gravitate toward.

All children have creative power.

While children are struggling to be unique, the world around them is trying all means to make them look like everybody else.

All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.

Children from a given family background, when put in schools of different social compositions, will achieve at quite different levels.

I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.

Children go where they find sincerity and authenticity.

Every child should have a chance to feel special.

No matter what parents do, kids retain their uniqueness.
