Out of the Mouth of a Child

Mother: What are you doing with those white pieces of paper?

Five-year-old son: These are my ideas.  I cut them up into squares.

Mother: Oh.

The papers were blank.

It is our job to guide our children in directions that will motivate them to fill those blank pages in their minds up.  We can start by encouraging them to write or draw their likes and dislikes, what they see, how they feel, and most of all what they want to do to help others now and when they grow up.
