Children aren’t meant to be molded, but unfolded.
Inside each of us is an individual waiting to express oneself. Children need to be given an opportunity to give more of themselves, an opportunity to gain the confidence to be who they are, and given the freedom to develop their own perceptions of the world.
The focus shouldn’t be on shaping children to become a specific thing. Instead, energy and effort from teachers, parents, coaches, and mentors should be spent on giving children a chance to unfold their true selves. Unfold, don’t mold.
