"Parents don`t make mistakes because they don`t care, but
because they care so deeply."

"When we
strengthen families, we ultimately strengthen the community. Our goal is that
parents everywhere work with supportive providers, feel confident in their
parenting role, and form strong, resilient attachments with their children. To
help achieve this, providers must be responsive to parents, knowledgeable about
child development, and eager to see every parent succeed."
T. Berry Brazelton
“Attachment to a baby is a
long-term process, not a single, magical moment. The opportunity for bonding at
birth may be compared to falling in love—staying in love takes longer and
demands more work.”
T. Berry Brazelton
“Finally, learning occurs
within the context of social relationships with other members of the community
who have similar, if not identical, issues and concerns from the realm of
practice.”

“When I think of the word passion and the meaning
to the word passion, what comes to mind are what are my values, what are my
beliefs, what are the ideas that lead me to action, what do I do so naturally
that perhaps seems natural to me but may be challenging to others? What's in my
heart?”
Leticia Lara
“Passion to fix all injustices in the world through teaching”

children, to shape a child`s life for the better.”
