We put our love where we have put our labor.

Kelly observed, however, that stigma (whether based on AIDS or racism) does more damage to the person who does the stigmatizing than to the one who is being stigmatized...
"If I am stigmatized by somebody, it's something outside of me, coming in on top of me. It is hurtful and it is painful — I don't deny it. But it does not belong to me. Whereas if I am stigmatizing, I am doing the dirty work. I am the one from whose heart the poison is going out and spreading to the other person."

I cannot how timely this book has come out by Alice Honing. It is very stressful for our children everyday. The stress comes from classmates, parents and teachers. Classmates, because everyday I hear them bully and antagonize each other. Parents because they really are not too nice especially because they are in a rush,and cannot put down their cell phones. I am not saying all parents but many of them. Many of them are stressed because of the economy. Teachers, yes teachers are sometimes not too nice and cause stress because of being so task oriented and not thinking of the child's needs. I can say that because of all the assessments, guidelines, and concerns about the classroom children, needs and management. I have seen Alice in a couple of workshops and she knows her business.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the book.
thank you ,
