"The quality of the early childhood workforce is a critical factor." Dr. V. Buysse
"I found that rewarding relationships with patients was the surest antidote to stress and burnout." Dr. T. Berry Brazelton
"A family's responses to crisis or to a new situation mirror those of a child. That is to say, the way a small child deals with a new challenge (for instance, learning to walk) has certain predictable stages: regression, anxiety, mastery, new energy, growth, and feedback for future achievement. These stages can also be seen in adults coping with new life events, whether positive or negative." Dr. Brazelton

"The reason some kids don't succeed isn't because of their lack of intelligence, but the lack of the tools they need."
"I want to make sure all children are taught in environemtns and ways that truly nurture a child to their fullest ability."
Caitlin, yes words of wisdom you have posted! I am such a believer in the "quality" of early childhood EVERYTHING! And child do "mirror" what they see adult do - parents, teachers, everyone around them. Children are being "taught" constantly wheather people are aware of it or not. Very true quotes you have listed!
ReplyDeleteDr. Brazelton is a feet-on-the-ground practitioner! What better measure of the success of your career than to have created many stong relationships with those whom you serve! Unfortunately, many very talented and dedicated child care providers experience personal financial hardships and those of working in a low revenue industry like child care, and burn-out seems inevitable.
