Parents who are stressed or disturbed will have more difficulty in meeting their children's needs. Parents who have little support...--from friends, relatives, neighbors, or the community--are more likely to be overburdened by the demands of their babies and to be unable to respond to them adequately. Parents who experience severe poverty or economic insecurity, who cannot satisfy their own basic needs, are likely to have difficulty in responding to their children's needs.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The most important American addition to the World Experience was the simple surprising fact of America. We have helped prepare man...kind for all its later surprises.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The American experience stirred mankind from discovery to exploration. From the cautious quest for what they knew (or thought they... knew) was out there, into an enthusiastic reaching to the unknown. These are two substantially different kinds of human enterprise.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally e...ducative.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or informa...tion and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is part of the educator's responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of t...he experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ...ever dreamed of. Not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind with truth, with the golden sound of the word. But only a few of them heard, only a few of you understood. The rest of you put on black and sat in chapel. Why do you come here? Why do you? Dress your hypocrisy in black and parade before your God on Sunday. From love--no. For you've shown that your hearts are too withered to receive the love of your divine father. I know why you've come. I've seen it in your faces, Sunday after Sunday. Fear has brought you here. Horrible, superstitious fear. Fear of divine retribution. A bolt of fire from the skies. The vengeance of the Lord and the justice of God. But you have forgotten the love of Jesus. You disregard His sacrifice. Death. Fear. Flames. Horror. And black clothes. Hold your meeting then, but know if you do this in the name of good and the house of God, against Him and His word you blaspheme.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is relative; in that it somehow always goes beyond itself a...nd yet never escapes itself.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The only function that one experience can perform is to lead into another experience; and the only fulfillment we can speak of is ...the reaching of a certain experienced end. When one experience leads to (or can lead to) the same end as another, they agree in function.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
