“Ask any child development expert, and they will tell you that children do not develop in a straight line. There are no average children. There are no standard children.” ~ Cassi Clausen

“To raise a child who is comfortable enough to leave you means you’ve done your job. They are not ours to keep, but to teach how to soar on their own.” ~ Anonymous

“As with everything else about children’s behavior, there’s nothing like a good role model. If you value play, your child will, too.” ~ Madeline Levine

“Don’t educate a child to become something or someone, educate to help them explore and celebrate who they already are.” ~ Vince Gowmon

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ~ Albert Einstein

“Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.” ~ Kay Redfield Jamison
