>>but most children are like little coiled springs of affection- just waiting for a caring adult to come along. << X, that is so true. Children are such a joy, and yes they can be a challenge, but as long as they know you love them and will stand by them, they try. One of the secretaries at my business has been bringing her baby in since he was about 8 weeks and he's nearly a year and a half now...when he comes into my office he is full of his new "words" and you can just see the expression of anticipation of "recognition" on his face when he speaks them. He's totally adorable and full of curiosity. I don't think we can ever "expect too much" from children...in fact I believe children will rise to the level of expectation. I remember the stories of Marva Collins' work in Chicago with the inner city kids and it seems to me that the underlying fundamental principle she adhered to was to have "great expectations". And discipline, of course. I think I'm a little intimidated by the prospect of working with a child (worried about my own inadequacies) but I really do think I want to try.
