a quote

I just wanted to share a quote, translated from this link :

Every child has a natural need to be together with the caring grownup, a parent or a teacher, to be understood and taken seriously. In a way, the child wants to be reflected in the grownup, looks at him and sees herself, as in a mirror. However, it is only possible if the grownup sees the child as the being of her own, unlike any other – and not his own expectations, fears, and plans, projected onto the child. In the latter case, the grownup, instead of the child, sees the mountain of his problems, while the child cannot see herself at all. And, not seeing herself, she looses herself.
