"Just because you're poor that doesn't mean your inadequate"  ~Edward Zigler, Ph.D.

"Critical period of development...human development is a long and continuous process-stage built on top of stage"  ~Edward Zigler, Ph.D.

  2. I am also drawn to the quote by Renatta Cooper. It is very easy to get caught up in the "distractions" of life and lose focus of the main goal, which is; it's all about the child! That is motivating.
