The way parents are with children is how children will be with the rest of the world.
-Dr. Karl Menninger
This quote spoke to me greatly when I read it. The quote means that what a parent attempts to install into a child during all areas of development will continue to resonate in their lives as adults. Children soak up each and everything that we do or say and it is vital that we as adults show respect, care, and love to all.

Testing Intelligence
When considering the "whole child", there should be adequate testing done that is able to determine what area or areas needs improvement and ways in which educators and administrators will work towards solving this problem. Measuring or assessing a child's ability will only prove beneficial to the child's education later in life. Ways in which this can be successful rests solely on the child and the researchers in which they focus their time and energy. An example would include a 10 year old student who is having problems passing written exams and is unable to read properly. However, the student is doing excellent within areas that require her to orally communicate her learning's. This shows that the child may need to be tested or assessed for a reading disability or dyslexia.
School-age children within other countries learn differently from those within the United States. Being able to receive the best education is the main goal of all schools. However, students located within India are less likely to attend school. Within this region there are 39.4 million children with disabilities that are denied the opportunity to receive an education. Because there is a difference in which each country handles their educational endeavors, many disabled students are turned away from education because the school refuses to accommodate their disabilities. To prevent and assist those who has disabilities, a conference was formed to assist those students who were suffering from disabilities and not able to attend school. Eventually, children with disabilities were allowed into schools with other children and allowed the children to have full participation and an equal right of that of other students and children within society.
