Parents may give up on their children when things get a bit more difficult. This reflection looks at the importance of parents&#8217; believing that talent is not inborn so that parents will do the necessary work to nurture their children&#8217;s seeds of possibility.<\/p>\n<p>This episode is part of the &#8220;Reflections&#8221; series of podcast episodes, which are short, minutes long reflections about a quote or other thought from Dr. Shinichi Suzuki&#8217;s philosophy or writing. The purpose of these reflections is to give parents and teachers a chance to spend a few minutes thinking about how great the impact might be on the world and our children with merely a slight moment of reflection about a behavior, thought, or attitude.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a comment or suggestion, you can leave me a voice message on my voicemail line at 512-537-6356 or send me an email at paula@teachsuzuki.com.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and articles, visit my blog at:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/teachsuzuki.blogspot.com\">http:\/\/teachsuzuki.blogspot.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time,<\/p>\n<p><em>Happy\u00a0<\/em><em>Practicing<\/em><em>!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;&#8211; Paula &#8212;&#8211;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2017 by Paula E.
