When there is an opportunity to operate in a career
which brings joy to a life, passion is a part
of the process. Pioneers who have paved the way for
many in varying fields are able to offer words which inspire. In the field of
early childhood studies many times the children and their families provide that
excitement. For the following contributors a yearning to help children and
families was the driving force. Now the passion can not only be seen in their
works but also in their words...
First there is the following contributor.
Louise Derman-Sparks, Professor Emeritus at Pacific Oak College in California explained it best, as she pointed out we may find ourselves unexpectedly in this area of work. However, working in early childhood brings passion that leads to joy and is rewarding (Laureate Education.,2012).
Then there is the doctor who helped me with my own children.
"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."
