“In this modern world where activity is stressed almost to the
point of mania, quietness as a childhood need is too often overlooked.
Yet a child's need for quietness is the same today as it has always
been―it may even be greater―for quietness is an essential part of all
awareness. In quiet times and sleepy times a child can dwell in thoughts
of his own, and in songs and stories of his own.”
Love this quote!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful, Kim? Margaret Wise Brown's words are even more relevant today than when she said them many years ago.
