It’s often easy to think about our children learning their basics—to read, to write, to talk–but what about how to become a balanced and emotionally-grounded person?
Did you know that babies are never too young to be talked to or read to? Comfort comes from the tone of the teacher’s voice in reading the text of a book to a child. Being cuddled in a teacher’s arms makes the child feel safe and secure while being read to.
Exposure to diversity builds young children’s self-confidence, increases awareness, and adds appreciation. The inclusion of diverse beliefs and cultures in early childhood education also maximizes children’s academic achievement and educational success.
