A children's book...
Cinderella was always one of my favorite childhood books because I believe in happy endings. She was the heroine that so many of us loved reading about as a child because after being chastised by her wicked step-mom and bullied by her evil step-sisters, she would eventually marry her prince charming and leave the past behind. Cinderella's story is truly a classic.

LOVE the classics and how they always came out okay in the end. Perhaps it's too much time in infant-mental health, but it made me wonder, how can we help little ones make sense of the world when there is no prince charming. I think we as early childhood professionals have to be that stable presence in that child's life. Hard to send them home each day knowing "step mother and the sisters" are responsible for nurturing that we know in our hearts is likely not happening. Any thoughts?
