I absolutely love this anonymous quote! I believe that all children learn at their own pace. Infants began to sit, crawl, and walk at different times.Children began to count, read, and write at different times. Therefore each child should be treated as an unique individual. Through my course of study I have learned that exposure and experiences shapes a child and wires the architecture of the brain, It is important to remember that the early years are the most important years to make an impact on a child. Early learning sets the stage for the future and lack of involvement can be detrimental to a child.
Every Child is Unique as his/her fingerprints!
Thank you Paul Priest for sharing your experiences and ideas. Your insight from a male perspective was refreshing to read. I also love that you shared information about your up bringing.
Thank you Dana V. for your insights from the classroom. It was nice to read your real examples of different topics with your students.
Jacqualine,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote and I am very much agree with the content saying. Sometimes even the my young students ask me the questions like 'why i am like this...' or 'why he is like that'. The nature needs of curiosity encourage them to discover the world and find out the alike and differences between their own-self and the others. I would like to use this quote to tell my students each of them is like the butterflies, some fly high and some fly low, but each of them flies the best they can. There is no comparison in between the individuals because everyone is unique and special.
Thank you very much for your wonderful sharing and post in the past 8 weeks study. Your ideas and experience inspired me professionally and extended my knowledge of early childhood study. All the best to your upcoming studies and hope to keep in touch with you in the futures.
