Favorite Bev Bos Quotes

“Don’t buy your kids toys. If you do, make sure the toys are 90% child and only 10% toy.” This means that the toy shouldn’t manipulate the child – the child should be able to manipulate the toy. Battery-operated toys, for example, are 90% toy and only 10% child. They don’t give kids the opportunity to explore, navigate, and think for themselves.” as you shop for Christmas gifts or for your classroom.
Children were not born to walk. They were born to run-- barefoot, over rocks, through the water, through the mud. We need to give greater recognition to the energy and joy of children.” -- Bev Boss
"EARLIEST ISN'T BEST. FASTEST ISN'T BEST. If what we want for our children is a lifetime of excellence — in experience, in ability, in knowledge — we must be responsible enough to wait and thorough enough to look at all sides of their development."
