A Quote from T. Berry Brazelton and Stanley Greenspan

T. Berry Brazelton: "Parents don" make mistakes because they don't care, but because they care so deepy".
                                                                                                                   


Stanley Greenspan: "As your baby progresses from one milestone to the next, remember that he doesn't really leave any of them behind. In order to grow and develop to his full potential he must continually build on and strengthen all of the steps that have gone before".

Personal Childhood Web

I do not have photos of the people who influence and impacted my life.

Kathryn E. Allen:  My great-aunt Kat, was my mother's favorite aunt life-line. She eventually became my life-line. When my six brothers and sisters were placed in foster-care my very loving and caring great-aunt stepped up to the plate. She was not able to take all of us, but she took me and two of my siblings. She died of breast cancer  two later.  In the two years of being with her, she showed us more love and nurturing then we had ever had in our young lives. She was the first person who held and rocked us and told us that life can and will get better. My aunt Kat was not in my life for very long, yet she was the first person who made me feel safe. She instilled in me the knowledge of knowing how, showing kindness and and love to children ; can make a positive impact in their lives.

Jesses Bierd:  My  grandmother, my father's mothers, I do not have many memories of her, but what I do remember is being dropped off at her house and staying days at a time without seeing my mother or father. During these times she would care for us the best way she would. She was also living in poverty. I can remember her cooking us french fries on a hot plate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I can remember how she would wash our clothes on a wash board one piece at a time The influences that she had on my life has instilled in me;is my passion for helping families who are really trying to survive and keep their families afloat.

 My third grade teacher: I do not remember her name, but I do remember that amidst all the turmoil in my life I can remember that she was  very kind and gentle with me. She gave me a beautiful doll that I have never forgotten. Having had this kind and gentle person;that time in my life helped me to cope emotionally and to know that kindness is never forgotten in a childs life.

Miss Kendrixs:  My fifth-grade teacher, now this was the toughest  teacher ever. Ms. Kendrixs was not a mean teacher but she was the first person to push me academically and taught me according to my learning style. At the age of nine I had never read a book, I thought that I could not read. She introduced me to the world of books reading ( reading is one of my passions).With her praises and support I excelled as a student. With having her in my life I know that everyone can learn, educators need to figure out the different learning styles of children l and  know to teach them.  Ms. Kendrixs, my fifth grade teacher taught me not to give up on children who are having a difficult time learning. 

 I now strive to be a positive part my grandchildrens " Personal Childhood Web".
