“Find the right formula.”

Fairy tales usually have happy endings. The prince and princess live happily ever after. The truth is that relationships take work for there to be a “happily ever after.” This is true not only for marriages but for all relationships, and especially relationships with children. Ask anyone who has ever had a baby that didn’t sleep through the night! That took a lot of work and a lot of patience. But it is so worth it! It is the same with all of the children you teach. Every child is different. Every child needs to have their own “unique formula” and it takes work to find that right one. Moreover, children keep changing, and as they change, the formula sometimes needs to change too.

Part of the joy of being a teacher is finding the perfect formula that will bring that connection between you and children and between children and knowledge. You are a difference maker.

Have a wonderful day.
