ABC by Paley – COURAGE
Then, in interviews, you can hear their modest comments that anyone in their shoes would do the same and it really wasn’t anything special. Is it just pretending modesty, or do these everyday heroes really fail to see their courage? For the courage is not to lack fear, but to act in spite of it. […]
ABC by Paley – RESPONSIBILITY
However, if we feel that all household chores fall on us every day, at work we have to check that others are sure to properly perform their duties, children do their homework on time, and the well-being of people around us depends on us, then most likely someone else should take care of that. Moreover, […]
ABC by Paley – ROLE PLAY
By playing pretend, children learn things such as negotiating, considering the perspectives of others, delaying gratification, comparing reviews with others and making decisions, developing a plan and acting on it, expressing and listening to thoughts, recommending tasks, and combining different information and ideas into whole. This allows the child to empathize with someone else and […]

ABC by Paley – MOM
Being a mother is not only about holding your tiny, fragrant newborn in your hands. A mother is not only a person who raises her biological or adopted child. She is also a woman who lost her pregnancy but has already experienced maternal love. Being a mom is not only about taking care of children […]
ABC by Paley – LOVE
Most parents will admit that they love their children unconditionally. After careful reflection, however, they recall that quite often there are moments when they want the child to be different, to behave differently, to have different skills and temperament. They want to turn an oak into a rose. In good faith, of course – the […]
ABC by Paley – GENTLENESS
Are you sure about that? If you or your child were in your friend’s place, what would the situation look like then?
