Generally by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.

- Every situation is a learning experience
- Children need to be nurtured and have physical contact with other people
- Children learn through their interactions with people and the environment
- Play is an essential component to learning
- Hands-on activities result in life-long learned skills
- When a child has a choice in selecting its own activities, involvement is increased
- All children's senses need to be stimulated in an enriched atmosphere
- Activities presented to children should match their stage of development and their interest level
- There should be a balance between activity and rest; quiet learning and active learning
- Children need a loving, stress-free environment for optimal learning to occur.

BRAVO!~!~
Can't get away from these basic principles. If these are in place, the child will blossom and a healthy attitude that includes buy-in and excitement will follow the child for the rest of her life.
The child will become a life long learner and embrace challenge through critical thinking. The child will be highly productive and open to others.

This is wonderful and good to work with as a person who works with parents and children. Unfortunately many of our children do not get those requirements because of the limited resources and many parents are unaware. So many of our Children grow up on their own and not natured. They are many times abused! What will their future be like? It scares me.
This information can help me make a difference. May we use it for our work? Thanks

I like the concise, compact order of the information that we all know. This would be great for a parent newsletter. May I use it as such? May I translate it into Spanish also?
