“Helping children at a level of genuine intellectual inquiry takes imagination on the part of the adult. Even more, it takes the courage to become a resource in unfamiliar areas of knowledge and in ones for which one has no taste. But parents, no less than teachers, must respect a child's mind and not exploit it for their own vanity or ambition, or to soothe their own anxiety.” MindChildrenHelpingParentImaginationLevelsTeacherTasteAnxietyAmbitionIntellectualAdultsResourcesAreasGenuineVanityInquiryExploitsUnfamiliarHelping Children Author:Dorothy H Cohen

“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children's best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child's interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.” IfsWellsChildrenSchoolParentInterestResponsibilityTeacherShareInformationCommunicationJudgmentHappeningsMutualPartnershipNeverthelessBehalfParents And TeachersSchools And TeachersMutual Trust Author:Dorothy H Cohen
