The Simple Things

Young Child Drinks from a Fountain

This blog post shares the content of my monthly newsletter and conversations on LinkedIn with my network of early childhood education professionals.

Stop, Step Back, Observe: Can You See Them?

How much sensory-motor and cognitive competence is involved in drinking from a fountain at the age of 2, 3, or 4?

How many discoveries happen while approaching that experience and getting familiar with it through repetition?

How many discoveries, learning blocks, and new experiences do children gain while “repeating” a simple action?

Enjoy children’s process of learning how to drink from a fountain.

You don’t need to teach children how to drink, walk, wash hands, or jump. Why? Because children need to learn how to learn.

Please share with your educators.
Thank you.
