A child's energy is incredibly strong and life-giving. It is important to educate our children and to have healthy environments for them. It is, however, as necessary to learn from our children. We would help ourselves live a better life if we took a step back, slowed down, and became more childlike, friendly, light-hearted, genuine, and warm.
We have the ability and opportunity to not only learn from, but also to influence, our children. We have the opportunity to return a child's spirit, the same energy they retain and cheerfully offer us, to them. With that, we as ECE’s should provide them with beautifully peaceful and inspiring interactions and experiences. Children need to feel that they have a positive effect on the planet. to strengthen hope, instil confidence, and provide our children with the energy to truly make an impact in this world.
