"Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate" Anonymous
These quotes are relevant to all early childhood educators. We can never forget the importance of treating children like they matter and giving them positive role models.
I wish everyone success in their future endeavors. It has been a pleasure.
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI love the quotes you chose for this last blog. I think many adults forget that children are just little people and they learn from our examples. It is so important for early childhood educators to make children feel important and special because many of them do not receive the respect and attention they need and deserve at home.
Thank you for sharing your insight into early childhood education and good luck as we proceed through the master's course.

Lisa, great quote about children being imitators. I witness this truth everyday. Children are always watching and listening. And imitation starts early. I have an 11-month old in my program that loves this mimic gestures. It's a game we play during diapering and I'm thrilled with his responses every time!
