Just as Michelangelo saw the "David" in the raw, unformed block of marble before he struck it with his chisel, we as parents can i...magine the fine adult human beings who will emerge from our children's growing, evolving selves. By holding this image in our minds, we can, through our encouragement, nurture our children to blossom into their fullest potential. Each child has his own individual expressions to offer to the world.

In Rousseau's view (1762). . . most of the problems of education are problems of motivation, as teachers try to rush things. They ...talk of geography before the child knows the way around his own backyard. They teach history before the child understand anything about adult motivation. . . .
