In Intellectual Emergencies: Some Reflections on Mothering and Teaching, Lilian Katz makes these two observations about teachers' relationships with children:

"Relationships cannot be developed in a vacuum; we have to relate to each other about something — something that matters to the participants in the relationship.  The content of our relationship with children should not be mainly about rules, regulations, and conduct, but about their increasing knowledge and developing understandings of those things within and around them worth knowing more about and understanding more deeply, more fully, and more accurately."

"Cultivate the habit of speaking to children as people — people with minds — usually lively ones.  Appeal to their good sense.  It is not necessary to be sweet, silly, or sentimental at one extreme, or somber, grim, or harsh at the other end.  Let us be genuine, direct, honest, serious, and warm with them, and about them — and sometimes humorous too."


Intellectual Emergencies: Some Reflections on Mothering and Teaching is a special contribution to the field by Lilian Katz.  She has spent many years conducting workshops for teachers, parents, and students all over the world.  During those workshops, she often refers to her son Stephen, and what she has termed the "intellectual emergencies" she experienced during the years he was growing up.  Her responses to these "emergencies," the moments when he analyzed her actions and challenged her decisions as a parent and a teacher, are presented in this insightful, witty book.

The caregiver who cannot play with children cannot teach children .
Relationship is an important matter between a child and a caregiver. A care
giver should know '' What is there in a child ? '' In this matter observation is
the most important subject .
