Wisdom of the Ages

 

Teachers come in all shapes and sizes. They're not always old men with long, white beards. A Teacher might look like a child or a young woman or even your Uncle Sheldon. Wisdom is available to us if we just tune in: It can come in the form of a song, a line in a novel or the realization your co-worker had over the weekend.

We have collected child-rearing wisdom here for your benefit. Use what you can. Throw out what doesn't fit. And send your suggestions for additions to this page to wisdom@wholefamily.com
We'll be adding new pieces of wisdom every week, so tune in again!

If you've applied the wisdom from one of these quotes in your life, we'd like to hear from you.

Please send your story to wisdom@wholefamily.com
The best submissions will be published on this page.
