22.01.2022 C H I L D D I R E C T E D P L A Y Janet Lansbury gives beautiful insight into how to teach young children respectfully, in her article "Be careful what you teach (it might interfere with what they're learning)" she covers the question 'is there a respectful approach to teaching young children?' Her emphasis is on the importance of children learning HOW to learn in the very early years, and how play is a huge factor in this, how children's choice and capacity to build on ...their own interests is so important as it allows more meaningful and deeper learning. https://www.janetlansbury.com//be-careful-what-you-teach-/ #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhood #learningthroughplay #playbasedlearning #parenting #toddler #childhood

22.01.2022 Sometimes people start yarning or talking and they share their story and they pause. That is not your opportunity to jump in and give advice. Sometimes people ...pause because theyre thinking about what to say next.

21.01.2022 W A T E R P L A Y A simple and open ended additon to the sandpit, the children become so engaged and sit and play for long periods when given water. We observe the children being focused, engaging in problem solving, getting creative and imaginative in their play just with this added element. #goodstartearlylearning #learningthroughplay #childcare #childhood #playbasedlearning #earlychildhood #preschool #messyplay

17.01.2022 Rather than inviting cooperation, you have to sets up a me vs. you dynamic that can create unnecessary power struggles. Giving children the opportunity to choose to cooperate with us, rather than demanding they do, allows children to maintain their autonomy and helps them develop confidence in making decisions. Whats your favorite alternative to you have to ____? Tell us in the comments! This post was brought to you by curiousparenting @ Portland, Oregon... #earlychildhood #toddlerlife

16.01.2022 "Always Was, Always Will Be" recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. Australia has the world’s oldest oral stories. The First Peoples engraved the world’s first maps, made the earliest paintings of ceremony and invented unique technologies. We built and engineered structures - structures on Earth - predating well-known sites such as the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge. For NAIDOC week the children at Goodstart Cr...omer will be exploring and celebrating our rich history and culture through reading, discussions, learning experiences and play. #naidocweek2020 #NAIDOC2020 #goodstartearlylearning #ChildCare #earlychildhood #preschool #playbasedlearning #ChildHood #goodstartfamilies #indigenousaustralia

16.01.2022 Emotion Coaching by Seed & Sew (@seedandsew) When a child is not accepting coping strategies offered, it typically means they need more time to feel the emotion. It can be tempting to rush the process to make the expression stop, but the greatest gift we can give a kiddo is the space to feel their emotions, even if they make us uncomfortable. This process is discussed in their podcast www.voicesofyourvillage.com (episode 63) for free, and the coaching guide can be found h...ere https://linktr.ee/seedandsew #earlychildhood #earlylearning #seedandsew #toddlers #learningthroughplay #playbasedlearning

09.01.2022 As with all other aspects of their lives, children need to be included as active participants in understanding the pandemic and how it affects their friends and family. "The researchers concluded that children are not passive in the crisis, but active agents who can contribute. They have ideas on how to handle the situation, and they are ready to share them if we provide the opportunity. The researchers called on both parents and those who work in early childhood education to engage children and help them express their thoughts about coronavirus." #goodstartearlylearning #goodstartfamilies #earlychildhood #covidsafe #earlychildhoodeducation #childcare0
