Eye on the world: Caring for children

In an editorial titled “Quality child care: what’s at stake,” The Christian Science Monitor notes that children “... need to be nurtured, taught, encouraged, and corrected. Parents need help so they can be the primary nurturers, teachers, encouragers, and correctors. That’s not just one family’s challenge. The quality of care children get today determines the quality of humanity’s future.”

From Mary Baker Eddy: “Is not the propagation of the human species a greater responsibility, a more solemn charge, than the culture of your garden or the raising of stock to increase your flocks and herds? Nothing unworthy of perpetuity should be transmitted to children” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 61).
