This quote caught my attention because children are just like uncut diamonds. Diamonds take their form when someone shapes them the way they want them to be. Children are almost the same. Positive role models try to shape the child into being the very best that they can be with a positive influence. But in my opinion, the child actually shapes themselves because they are all different. The right guidance sends them in a positive direction, but the final 'shape' comes from the child.
Hi Shawanza!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your quote & passage of child development. I agree that a child will ultimately be the decider of how she/he will be shaped. Just like a real diamond, the child will endure some pressure and begin to soften around the edges but with the guidance that child will shine in her/his own right. That is something no one can take away from them!
Thanks for sharing your posts & a glimpse into your world!
Well wishes!
