A must read for all educators facing the challenge of teaching children in the twenty-first century." -- Karen M. Smith, principal, Mark Twain Elementary, Brentwood, Missouri "In Learning to Trust, Watson, s account of one inner-city teachers experiences highlights the importance of nurturing caring and trusting relationships in the classroom. Her understanding of child development and her recommendations for effectively implementing 'developmental discipline' make the book a practical and powerful tool for all educators." -- James P. Comer, Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry, Yale Child Study Center and associate dean, Yale School of Medicine
