Children are like wet cement

Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.”
by Dr. Hiam Ginott
When I first heard this quote, it also left an impression on me.  Everything we say,or do will foverever be embedded in childrens  memory. We don't realize the lasting impressions we have on children. We are who we are because someone in our lifetime has left an impression whether it's positive or negative. I agree that children are like wet cement, and its only a matter of time before it dries up.
