“Noticing the potential message in children's behaviors and responding appropriately and respectfully is our aim. Reflecting upon Becky's enclosing and tying-up of her toys, it is clear that she needed the freedom to safely express herself without judgment and for an adult to interact and not interfere. Many adults seek to control children's play or stop them if they see a child playing in ways they deem inappropriate.”
Cath Arnold, Schemas in the Early Years

“Since the subject I most wish to learn is the children, I must concentrate on this play, for they will teach me who they are by the fantasies they explore.”
Vivian Gussin Paley

“The main institutions in an established democracy no longer seem to work for the people. The man in the street is thinking: nothing is ever going to change, and if that's the case, you disinvest in the society around you and look elsewhere for purpose. Once you get that level of distrust, it's pretty clear where people will turn to get some kind of solace...the internet.”
Olivia Yallop, Break the Internet: The Truth About Influencers

“If [the preschool teacher] is well read in theories of development and instruction, and well supplied with human empathy, the result can be a rare blend of science and humanism.”
Michael Cole

“The numbing effects of scrolling down an endless newsfeed are both the problem and its own relief. Over time, this works to delirious effect. Periodically, after long projects or particularly lengthy binges, I feel saturated and dissociate. No longer able to process information, I let my unread messages pile up in my inbox and notifications from friends accumulate whilst I lie for hours on my sofa during the weekends, unable to do anything, but unable to do nothing either.”
Olivia Yallop, Break the Internet: The Truth About Influencers
