Child Led Quotes

“Each time a child invents one of these unique arrangements of images and phrase, I sense anew the natural order that gives young children this awesome talent for explaining life's mysteries. The thrill no longer comes from hearing my own answers repeated; I hunger for those I cannot imagine to problems unmentioned in the curriculum guides. Nearly every lesson I want to pursue arises out of the children's consciousness.”
― Vivian Gussin Paley, Bad Guys Don't Have Birthdays: Fantasy Play at Four
