Penelope Leach Quotes

• For a small child there is no division between
  playing and learning; between the things he or she does 'just for fun' and
  things that are 'educational.' The child learns while living and any part of
  living that is enjoyable is also play.

• A preschool child does not emerge from your toddler on a given date or birthday. He becomes a child when he ceases to be a wayward, confusing, unpredictable and often balky person-in-the- making, and becomes a comparatively cooperative, eager-and-easy-to-please real human being--at least 60 per cent of the time.

• Hace dos generaciones, sólo unos pocos niños desafortunados veían a alguien golpeado en la cabeza con un ladrillo, tiroteado, embestido por un coche, volado por los aires, inmolado, violado o torturado. Ahora todos los niños, junto con sus mayores, ven esas imágenes todos los días de su vida y se espera que las disfruten. ... El niño de siete años que esconde los ojos ante el drama familiar de policías y ladrones se insensibiliza cuatro años más tarde hasta el punto de hacer crujir patatas fritas ante el último vídeo desagradable.

• Sabes que tu hijo pequeño necesitaba amor y aprobación, pero a menudo parecía no importarle si la recibía o no y nunca parecía saber cómo ganársela. Tu hijo en edad preescolar te pide que le digas lo que se gana y lo que no se gana la aprobación, así que está preparado para aprender cualquier refinamiento social del ser humano que le enseñes..... Ahora sabe que quiere tu amor y ha aprendido a pedirlo.

• A baby who cannot relax can be helped to do so by a variety of constant rhythmical stimuli. it will work if the trouble is some kind of general and diffuse irritability or tenseness which is preventing a tired baby relaxing into sleep. The burring sound of a fan or heater works excellently. So does the sound of a car engine.
