Every child…
December 4, 2009 | Filed Under Small Talk
Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water-bugs, tadpoles, frogs, and mud-turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb, brooks to wade in, water-lillies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries, and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education.
–Luther Burbank

Love the quote! How do we train little E to not be so scared of butterflies and ladybugs?
Grab his hand and say, “Look little E. You can touch them and they won’t hurt.”
