Kids can do incredible things. They will lead the way!
No matter how old your children are, they are probably sensing that something’s up these days. You might be seeing more tantrums or more clinginess. Now, more than ever, it’s important to tune in to children’s thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Learning doesn’t happen because of a great lesson plan. It happens because of great relationships. Just like when you’re at school, there is no “wrong” way to learn. Following kids’ interests and building on their curiosities is the path to real, lifelong learning--and having fun along the way!
