Dear Sara…
“Conscious parenting is activism and activism is hard. Activists are cycle breakers. Breaking cycles requires deep change and that takes time. So activists need a lot of patience. It can be deeply painful. So we need the ability to bear great pain. It is often exhausting. So we need to be good at loving ourselves and taking care of ourselves. Conscious parenting is activism. You are changing the world.”

Listen To Children…

"Trust children. Nothing could be more simple, or more difficult. Difficult because to trust children we must learn to trust ourselves, and most of us were taught as children that we could not be trusted."

I’m Here, I Want to Listen…
Written by: Sara Zacuto
“People have said, ‘Don’t cry’ to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is, ‘I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings. Don’t cry.’ I’d rather have them say, ‘Go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.”
― Mr. Rogers
Where Will We Go Today?
"We teachers must see ourselves as researchers, able to think, and to produce a true curriculum, a curriculum produced from all of the children.
What we so often do is impose adult time on children’s time and this negates children being able to work with their own resources."
~Loris Malaguzzi
The Courage of the Wall
a guest post by
Rebecca Sadler
The courage to choose to try, and then try again. The courage to trust someone when they say, “now push up on that bent leg” and most importantly the courage to ask for help when you need it. Their bodies were made for this, we can have the courage to trust them!
