When I Think of Child Development....

"Great teachers empathize with kids, respect them,
and believe that each one has something special that can be built upon."
Ann Lieberman

"Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning....They have to play with what they know to be true in order to find out more, and then they can use what they learn in new forms of play".
Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

"Let Them Be Little"
This video shows children playing with children there own age and in some clips even the same gender. It shows empathy in hugs friends and parents. It shows children from birth through the early childhood ages and stages. Children in this video are climbing and discovering knew things, such as the sand between their toes. There are clips of children who live where they can play in the water and drink from a water fountain. A small boy shows signs of learning to tie his shoes, pulling on his laces. A mother kisses her baby and the baby smiles. A child watches a cartoon, just one sign of the technology available to our children today. Children should be allowed to be little and express their needs and wants in their way. It is our job to listen, be understanding, and foster that growth. The video shows parental bonds between children.
