Quote

Imagine how a four-year-old might watch a caterpillar moving slowly across the driveway, with patience and a lack of judgment, and also with a kind of bighearted generosity that suggests the bug is something worthy of close attention. If we want to be better parents and better teachers, we need to relearn how to become exactly that kind of observer. Loving, unjudgmental observation can help us guide children into the optimal learning zone, where we can see their vitality and power.
