Parents may give up on their children when things get a bit more difficult. This reflection looks at the importance of parents’ believing that talent is not inborn so that parents will do the necessary work to nurture their children’s seeds of possibility.<\/p>\n<p>This episode is part of the “Reflections” series of podcast episodes, which are short, minutes long reflections about a quote or other thought from Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’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>—– Paula —–<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2017 by Paula E.
