Everyone in the lab has these experiences students, children, parents, staff members. A big part of what you learn in the lab will be lessons about yourself. The better you know yourself, the more comfortably you can grow, learn and change. You will see strengths and areas with room for growth. The better acquainted you are with yourself, the better you can help other people move through times of need, and of dependency, toward independence, success, self-respect, and positive relationships.
Young children are the best teachers.
They are honest. They reflect even the most subtle environmental changes, and they exhibit growth at truly astounding rates when placed in a nurturing environment. You will feel yourself grow right along with them as you become increasingly able to let yourself be taught by them. What I want to learn is how to teach little children. Working your way through feelings is the first step toward your goal.
