Guest Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Hi Well i'm progressing well, i have completed one 3000 word essay so far over the easter holidays, now working on my child study... i'm looking for a good quote to link in with social skills, can anyone point me in the right direction of a theorist etc... was looking for something to do with friendships or an all round quote linked to social development.. i have searched loads of books but can't find one that fits... as we have been told to separate emotional dev, self identity and social.. all the quotes i find seem to link more to self identity or emotional dev...hope this makes sense...
Guest Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Dont know if this ones right but its one of my fave quotes "Children are like tiny little flowers, each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of its peers" Frobel
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Whenever I think about children's friendships I think of Judy Dunn. Here's a link to her book on Amazon where you can 'look inside' - hopefully you'll be able to find a suitable quote somewhere - and you can get all the info for your bibliography/references too! Hope it helps! Maz
