Favorite quote about Children

Below is my favorite quote about children that I have come across throughout my studies. 


“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”
Margaret Mead

I find this to be extremely true, especially in today's society.  Often adults are telling children how they should feel about specific situations and not allowing them to think for themselves.  We need to show young children how to think rather then simple telling them what we feel they should.  They need to be able to figure out their emotions and interests on their own.
