Children Quote by Patrick Farenga
““You help your children learn as human beings have done throughout history: By paying attention to their interests and growth, their words and actions, they show you how to best help them learn. You may use a class, textbook, or mentor, but you are doing so on an as-needed basis, not as a compulsory obligation.””
