Reference photo at the top of the
page: One day in the spring, this baby bird sat
just outside our office window. Both his parents spent the afternoon
trying to teach this reluctant bird to fly. They took turns
flying low, circling, chirping, and demonstrating technique. All the
while, our little feathered friend held on tightly to the branch. As the sun began to
set, he finally spread his wings, and the three headed skyward.
Early childhood education: fly low, circle
close, hover, encourage, instruct, be patient, work to maintain close family
ties.
