The Name Honors the Process

Miriam Soto with her sons, Mauricio and Lucas. 

As we shared in the Good Samaritan Babies' class this week one mother offered a profound observation.  Lucas, her fourth child, is quiet and more reserved than Mauricio, who graduated out of Growing with Books last year when he turned three.  As she talked about her children at different stages of growth, and how they enjoy reading books together, the older ones reading to the younger ones, she said:  "El nombre honra el proceso."  (The name honors the process.)  She went on to explain how children really do grow with the books they read.  This is exactly what we want our families to be learning and it is exciting to hear them express this so freely.
