Tending Our Inner Gardens

11/27/2017

All kids are born geniuses, but are crushed by society.
Michio Kaku, American physicist, professor, writer

In Heart-Centered Teaching Inspired by Nature, Nancy Rosenow discusses the vital need for early childhood educators to be good to themselves:

"It is a fair guess that anyone who has been attracted to the field of education possesses a good dose of empathy. We want to help. We want to make a difference in people's lives, especially children's. This is a wonderful quality, and one to celebrate, but it comes with potential danger. I urge all of us, myself included, to be sure we are keeping ourselves grounded through the strong roots of self-nurturing and self-understanding before we share our empathy with others. If we offer our love and care to others from a place of internal strength, everyone's inner gardens will grow better."
