Are You Really Seeing Children?

"What I've come to understand is that the most important work I do to see a child in positive ways is within me. I must continually work to transform my own view of children’s behaviors, see their points of view, and strive to uncover how what I am seeing reveals the children’s deep desire, eagerness, and capacity for relationships. There is no more important or rewarding work than this," shares Deb Curtis in her new book, Really Seeing Children.

"When I join the children in their excitement about the world, I enrich my own life and work. When I stopped, watched, and waited, I learned so much more about the children and myself. My actions communicated respect for the children and, in turn, furthered the possibilities for deeper meaning in the ordinary moments."
