Donkey-assisted therapeutic education
When a child is criticized, he learns to judge. When a child is treated with hostility, he learns to fight. When a child is mocked, he learns to be shy. When a child is shamed, he learns to feel guilty.
When a child is understood and tolerated, he learns to be patient.
When a child is encouraged, he learns to trust himself.
When a child is praised, he learns to value himself.
When a child is treated fairly, he or she learns to be fair.
When a child lives in security, he learns to trust.
When a child is recognized, he learns to like himself.
When a child is accepted in friendship, he or she learns to find love in the world.
Donkey-assisted therapeutic education
represents a resource-oriented approach.
In keeping with Martin Buber’s quote:
“Man becomes an ‘I’ through the ‘You’”
