You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
-Maya Angelou, 1928-2014, American writer and civil rights activist
In her presentation at the 2011 World Forum on Early Care and Education (which can be viewed on the World Forum website), Lilian Katz shared a concern from her book Intellectual Emergencies: Some Reflections on Mothering and Teaching...
"I believe that each of us must come to care about everyone else's children. We must come to see that the well-being of our own individual children is intimately linked to the well-being of all other people's children. After all when one of our children needs life saving surgery, someone else's child will perform it; when one of our children is threatened or harmed by violence in the streets, someone else's child will inflict it. The good life for our own children can only be secured if it is also secured for all other people's children. But to worry about all other people's children is not just a practical or strategic matter; it is an moral and ethical one; to strive for the well-being of all other people's children is also right."
