“Children are like wet cement whatever falls on them makes an impression.”  — Haim Ginott, child psychologist


This quote says so much!  Maybe if we think about children in this way we will be more responsible with what we say to them, teach them and what we do around them.

As children continue to learn, they continue to teach us about life.  They have an unfiltered view and perception of the world around them.  Their unbiased opinions are fabulous and will enlighten any listener.

This is so very true.  Playing with children is fantastic.  It will bring you a very different perspective of things.  It will remind you to find fun in the things you do.  It will make you laugh and just be happy.

    Hi Rebecca,
    That first quote speaks so many volumes it perfectly describes how children receive information and how that has an effect on their future.

      Hi Rebecca,
      Reading your first quote remind me of how working with children and thinking that we are teaching them, but in reality they are teaching us by showing us how to love, share, and care for others. Children laugh, have fun, they don't take things so seriously, and they take risk all things in which adults are afraid of.

      Hi Rebecca,
      I apologize my response is in reference of the second quote instead of first one.

Sharing Web Resources (week 4)

With COVID-19 at the forefront of everyone's mind recently, organizations have made heartfelt statements about being "in this together".  NAEYC.org has made a statement as well.  It is also providing resources for educators and families.  There are topics like: Coping with COVID-19, Making Videos at Home: Tips for Educator, and Statement from NAEYC on Passage of CARES Act ( Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ).  The CARES Act has " critical provisions that will help multiple parts of the complex early childhood education sector, addressing some of the needs expressed by parents, educators, programs, and small businesses across states and settings."  I am relieved to know that there is something in place to help facilities facing this crisis.  I am also relieved because this demonstrates that economists and politicians are coming together to meet the urgent needs of child care facilities and educators in the U.S.  In addition to working during this

Completing the Journey

Image
 Wow, I can't believe this journey is coming to an end.  I have learned so much along the way.  I have pushed myself harder than I have ever pushed myself to complete this program.  I have struggled and celebrated along the way.  Most importantly I have learned I am capable of anything I set my mind to.   This program has taught me that working in the early childhood field I am making a difference for the families and children I serve.  I am making a difference when I coach staff and share my "why".  I make a difference every day by being the constant in a child's life. I have learned there is no limit to advocating for children, families, and teachers.  I need to use my voice, skills, and knowledge to make a difference in the agency I work for, the community I live in, and the world we all live in.     I will continue to learn and keep abreast of the continuous changes in the early childhood field.  I am no longer intimidated by the research papers I come across and
