Embracing the Individuality of Children
Children are not things to be moulded but are people to be unfolded.” – Jess Lair
This quote emphasises the importance of recognising that children are unique individuals with their own thoughts, feelings, emotions, and personalities that should be respected and nurtured.
As adults, it is important to provide children with the space and support to express their emotions and develop their own sense of self, rather than trying to shape them into a predetermined mould.
To recognize and value the individuality of each child and to support their emotional growth and well-being.
Instead of trying to impose a certain ideal or vision onto children, this quote suggests that we should recognize and support their inherent worth and encourage their natural development and self-expression. By doing so, we can help children to flourish and become their best selves.
