Bending Water: Valuing a Child's Point of View - Suzanne Geier

Potter, Wendy: - Potter earned a BA in English from the University of Michigan and taught English in high school until her first child was born. She and her husband, Bill, moved to Brevard County, where Bill, a new attorney, decided to establish a practice. Following the recommendation of a friend, they enrolled in the Lab School program. While in Lab School, Wendy earned an MA in Guidance and Counseling through Stetson University. As Lab School reflected what she was learning in the Stetson program, the Potters continued Lab School with all three children. Wendy became a Parent Educator for all four age groups: Younger Infants, Older Infants, Toddlers, and Three- to Five-Year-Olds.The close-knit Potter family now has three children and three grandchildren. Their experience within their own family and contact all these years later with former Lab School parents affirms the effect of Lab School on their children's adult lives, a generational effect.Wendy and Bill now split their time between Montana and Florida, where they enjoy changes in terrain and temperature. In retirement, Wendy, who has a 'green thumb', digs being a Master Gardener.
