Quote of the Week: Naomi Wolf

May 20th, 2014 | 0 min. read

Quotation from Naomi Wolf: "Obstacles, of course, are developmentally necessary: they teach kids strategy, patience, critical thinking, resilience, and resourcefulness."

Sometimes, obstacles will teach children more than unimpeded success ever can. Foster positive social-emotional learning in young children and watch them grow.
