On their own two feet
"Within the child lies the fate of the future." Maria Montessori
This watercolor, Standing On Their Own Two Feet, was painted by the late Steve Hanks: "Many of my paintings are about the hopes and the dreams for my children. They are about the things I want to expose them to, paintings, making their own art, music, reading books or simply thinking for themselves. All these things contribute to them standing on their own two feet and reaching for their dreams."
