early childhood is the time when most of a child’s emotional and social development
takes place. Every experience that a child goes through at this stage shapes
and molds them into the adults that they will become.</span></span></p><p><span style="text-align: justify;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEIhGNgtroYLBPWAIzbPNpdbUh_lZsdH4pNybjwgslnGyHhNCQCk7TYi43zQPFHCsjF9WD2OkJte2ORhK0h9bMcfDyXnfhMli6-hWcdPP9DPxov3SHJWudEMTAD3bE2G0ZGEXQmFoIRt2/s1300/pexels-photo-5905486.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How Do Early Childhood Educators Impact Children’s Emotional Development?" border="0" data-original-height="1300" data-original-width="867" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEIhGNgtroYLBPWAIzbPNpdbUh_lZsdH4pNybjwgslnGyHhNCQCk7TYi43zQPFHCsjF9WD2OkJte2ORhK0h9bMcfDyXnfhMli6-hWcdPP9DPxov3SHJWudEMTAD3bE2G0ZGEXQmFoIRt2/w266-h400/pexels-photo-5905486.jpeg" title="Children’s Emotional Development" width="266" /></a></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a range of
emotions that children experience during their early years. They include the
following.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-family: inherit;">Anger<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Temper tantrums are common
among toddlers. This is the time they learn more about their own emotions. They
try to push their boundaries and can have very intense outbursts if things
don’t go their way. Disciplining with a kind but firm attitude can help <a href="http://www.californiacollegeofece.com/">early childhood educators</a> manage a child’s emotional outbursts.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Jealousy</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jealousy is a common
trait, especially in only children. This can manifest as jealousy against later-born
siblings, other children, pets and even parents. Toddlers can form very strong
attachments and can often be clingy and have separation anxiety. This can be
especially difficult when it is time to attend school or when they have to be
left with caregivers. Building trust and having a balanced and safe early
educational environment can alleviate these emotions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><span style="color: red;">Also Read:</span></i></b> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://californiaece.blogspot.com/2014/11/early-childhood-education-ever-evolving.html?utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blogger">Early childhood education: An ever evolving career option!</a></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Often, toddlers can be
very possessive and find it difficult to share. They may have emotional
outbursts and violent altercations in school and in the playground. The early
childhood educator needs to be patient and skillful to make a positive change in
the child’s behavior.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Learning to get along with
other children is an essential skill, which many children naturally possess. In
some children, however, bad behavior may have to be unlearnt before good
behavior can be inculcated. An experienced early childhood educator will know
how to handle this. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

sound easy, but in reality, virtual learning requires a higher level of
commitment and organization. While studying from home, there is a tendency to
slack off. The reason that people take up online courses is because they do not
have the time to attend school as they could be working or studying or having

home-based care provider for their children. This is because with this
arrangement the children will receive one-on-one attention and the relationship
between the child and the caregiver will be at a more personal level. Parents also
feel more secure having a person look after their children at their own home, rather
than leaving their children at a <a href="http://www.californiacollegeofece.com/?utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blogger">day care</a> center. As such, home care providers

passionate educator will tell you. Early childhood is an amazing developmental
period which can be challenging yet rewarding as the natural curiosity in
children is piqued and can be harnessed to explore and learn. Children’s brains
develop faster at this age than at any other point in their lives. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">The

way. This means that early educators should know the best ways and strategies
to impart knowledge. They have to be creative and adaptive. Their lesson plans
should involve arts and crafts, storytelling, exercise, educational games and
more. Early educators should be fast on their feet and highly adaptable and should
be capable of coming up with new ways to guide children through their early

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When you speak, make sure that you speak only
after you have the complete attention of the student. Otherwise, it will be
difficult to get the message across, particularly when the child is busy
playing. Do not yell at them from a distance. Instead, connect with your
student first - if they are playing, play with them for a little while and softlystate
your message.</span></span>The truth is, the more connected the student
feels to the teacher, the more he or she is likely to be influenced.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A significant milestone in the life of a child is the beginning of their schooling.
There is a feeling of apprehension mixed with excitement. For a lot of children,
it is their first time being away from their parents. This is also a time when
they will learn new things. It is very important for <b><a href="http://www.californiacollegeofece.com/?utm_source=Blogger&utm_medium=Blog">early childhood education</a> teachers to</b> ease this anxiety and make their students experience an
enriching one. It is the teachers’ job to try and foster readiness-emotionally, physically
and mentally.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">An important aspect that teachers ignore is physical
kindergarten readiness. Honing fine motor skills is invaluable. Children have
to be taught how to hold a pencil, a crayon or a marker. They must have the
right experience in coloring, drawing and scribbling on a piece of paper. The
child must also be made familiar with using child-safe scissors. The students
should be exposed to activities that will not only be fun, but which will also enhance
their control and increase their familiarity with writing instruments. Attention
should also be paid to motor skills such as climbing, running and jumping. Such
skills can easily be incorporated into games.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Emotional readiness includes teaching students how to behave in social situations. Using words like thank you and please should be emphasized
upon. It is also a good idea to teach children to communicate their feelings
when they are angry or frustrated. Equally important is teaching children the
importance of being fair. They must know how to take turns and follow rules.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Math, language arts, social studies and science
are a few subjects that comprise the <a href="https://californiaece.blogspot.com/2015/12/aspiring-to-be-kindergarten-teacher.html">kindergarten </a>curriculum. Before starting with
the curriculum, children should be made familiar with the subjects in the form
of poems, stories and more. Children should enjoy learning as this will build
their academic foundation. Reading educational stories every day to the
students is a great way of preparing them for the months to come. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">While preparing for math, ask the students to count
items; <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>start by making them count the number of blocks
they use. Apart from this, there are many books that teach counting. Make use
of words like more, heavy, less, light, small and big for describing everyday
objects. This will help classify things into various groups.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Preparation for science includes developing a
familiarity with animals, plants, seasons and weather conditions and certain
characteristics of each. You must keep the introduction basic. Teachers can do
this through conversation and books. Readiness for social studies is about neighborhood
and community. Instill in students the fact that rules are good for them and
help everyone get along.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">You must understand that kindergarten can be overwhelming
for a child who has not developed the required skills to cope. Giving enough
exposure to your little students in the areas mentioned above will make the
children comfortable and a lot more receptive to learning. If you can instill
emotional, physical and mental readiness in your students, you will certainly see
them do well academically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">To
be able to do well in school, students have to develop good study habits. The

they do not show involvement in class activities and are uninterested, then
they are likely to remain lazy towards home work and academics in general.</span><br />

is important to involve parents and advise them on the ill effects of having their

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Children can only grow and learn if they have freedom. However, child safety is also important. It may sometimes become difficult to handle toddlers if they are not taught restraint. Here are a few things ECE teachers can teach children to keep them safe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaCbWlD2asAlaXdfu4y4kUwW36i-jJ3WrxvZDqi6tnti6MNbOh4FFCjfG5bXPnPdr_WqkQOjChG73WFJh7NG2B3-c0L1FK-7GQT-6hyphenhyphenr75oJPy_UV_t_hdoE26X8WvE-NuA_PLg9HgwNp7/s1600/california+college.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="960" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaCbWlD2asAlaXdfu4y4kUwW36i-jJ3WrxvZDqi6tnti6MNbOh4FFCjfG5bXPnPdr_WqkQOjChG73WFJh7NG2B3-c0L1FK-7GQT-6hyphenhyphenr75oJPy_UV_t_hdoE26X8WvE-NuA_PLg9HgwNp7/s400/california+college.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Always Remember Your Address:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Make sure all your students memorize their house address and their guardian’s phone number. They should be able to easily share this information during any emergency. Children have a habit of wandering off. So, it is best to get them to learn important information.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Do Not Let Your Students Walk Off Alone</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Young children should always have firm boundaries. They should never be allowed to walk off without adult supervision. This rule may change as the child grows but should be strictly implemented when they are young. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Rules About Talking to Strangers</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Every child should be taught this basic rule. Never speak to strangers, never get into a car with a stranger and never accept anything from strangers.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Stay Put When You are lost </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If a child gets separated from her parents, she must learn to stay put instead of running around hysterically. This will make it easier for the parents to locate her. Children usually get lost in big stores. They must be taught to seek help from a mother with children or from a store assistant.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Fire</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Children are curious by nature, but they should learn that it is not okay to play with fire. Flammable materials and cigarette lighters should always be kept away from the reach of children. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">6. ClimbingoverFences</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Children should know that fences should not be breached. If a child’s ball goes over the boundary, she must be taught not to impulsively climb over the fence to retrieve it but instead should inform an adult. It is dangerous to go over fences. Moreover, you never know what’s across the boundary. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">7. Never Let Anyone Touch You</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You must teach your student from a very early age that secret touching is wrong. You do not have to get the point across by making it frightening or too descriptive. Use simple terms and make the child understand that no one has the right to touch her body. Children must also be taught to tell their teachers or parents if such an incident occurs.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">8. Putting Personal Information on the Web</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Apart from teaching children, the parents must also be advised to refrain from posting too many pictures and personal information of the child online. Criminals can easily track their whereabouts through pictures. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">9. Instinct</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Always teach children that if something does not feel right to them, then it probably isn’t. Teach them to trust their instinct and encourage them to not follow their friends blindly. Every human is born with a gut feeling and can know instantly when something is not right. They must be taught to say ‘no’ when they are uncomfortable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Every <a href="http://www.californiacollegeofece.com/?utm_source=Blogger&utm_medium=Blog">ECE teacher</a> must teach these basic safety rules to their students. Apart from explaining these rules, the teachers must also stress on honest and open communication. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are an experienced <b><a href="https://californiaece.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-difference-teacher-can-make-in.html">early childhood education</a></b> teacher, you must have already discovered that while some learning comes
easy and immediately, other kinds of learning are tough and require repetition.
A very important thing that you must realize, is that "unlearning" mistakes
is difficult and should be avoided.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">This does not mean the child should not make any
mistakes. The truth is that mistakes are also important, but learned mistakes
should be avoided. Mistakes should not be repeated without being corrected.
When children are constantly made aware of their mistakes, they tend to learn
from them and get better. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

related to survival more easily than other kinds of skills like for example the
reaction to touching something hot. The primary purpose of the brain is
survival, learning non-survival skills is a difficulty for the human brain. The
significance of making use of "brain-friendly" methods with the
child, is hence important. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One such technique

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Repetition is necessary for several kinds of learning
to happen but the amount of repetition may vary. Three decades ago, educators thought
a skill could easily be learned by repeating it 4 to 7 times. However, recent research
has placed the figure much higher. It is now accepted that repetitions of 20 to
50 times are required to learn anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">The good news is, preschoolers like redundancy.
They have a tendency to listen to the same music, read the same books and play
the same sport; every repetition tends to help learn vocabulary, skills, and
facts. However, mistakes that are practiced can become learned and may get
difficult to unlearn. It may take a teacher more than hundreds of right
repetitions for "unlearning" a mistake that has been learned. Basically,
it takes time to correct a bad habit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

their students do and correct the mistakes lovingly when the mistakes do happen.
It is not a good idea to criticize the children for the mistakes they make. Directing
them gently to discover the right response and then awarding them is an extremely
successful technique. This also means you should not let the students work on workbooks,
worksheets or computer programs without close supervision. All such tools, when
used unsupervised, may cause the child to make mistakes. Preferably, you should
never utilize any of these with a preschooler. With just a little effort, you
can make sure that the students you are responsible for learn the right things
and do not make the same mistakes repeatedly. You are responsible for the learning
needs of the children and can easily prevent learned mistakes if you are
vigilant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is not easy to
teach young children. However, it is an extremely important responsibility and
must not be delegated to an amateur. Making use of stories for teaching is an
effective method. When a teacher reads to children, he or she does not confine the
student to academic excellence but expands into their behavioral and emotional learning.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">When the teacher
reads, he or she is able to tackle a particular situation in a very
non-threatening manner. What does threaten mean? Here are a few examples of some
phrases that are utilized when teaching a lesson:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">Normally, this is
said in an angry or accusatory tone. When there is finger-pointing, children
hear the disapproval and the whole situation gets tense. However, if one uses stories
for teaching, the blame is taken out and lesser emphasis is placed on problems.
Solutions are discussed in a positive way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">By making use of stories
for teaching, children can be helped through situations that they might be experiencing
at that time. It also helps teachers prepare the children mentally for
situations that could possibly arise. Children tend to gain a lot of indirect experience
from the stories that are read to them. For instance, teachers can read a book on
bullying to teach children how to handle such situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">Children tend to
connect with the story characters and like to relate with them. The teacher can
further ask questions like:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Can you relate to anyone in this story? </span></div>

believe that the assimilation of information inside a story is an extremely
natural brain process. To summarize, neuroscience has found out that our brain

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since time immemorial,
education has transcended generations, sometimes in stereotypical ways. However,
as time progressed and knowledge became more complex, human beings created a multifaceted
education system comprising of an array of professionally trained individuals
working with a range of students. Within that framework, were certain practices
that have subsisted for over a century. These practices include the use of blackboards,
theoretical exams, grading and also the curriculum pertaining to different
courses.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">The education system in the United States has a <span class="highlight">crotchet</span> going
on, making it extremely generalized wherein each child has to pass through the same
series of levels to finally be called educated. This problem of ‘<em><span style="font-style: normal;">generalizing </span></em>intelligence’ has defeated
the whole purpose of education, which was to teach, assist and support children
so that they can reach their potential and enjoy the education that is being imparted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The early years of
the child are postulated to be the most significant years in his/her cognitive
and emotional growth. The skills and knowledge gained during this period become
the foundation of the child’s adult intelligence. Hence, it is extremely
important to equip children with the tools they need to learn these skills. However,
what has to be kept in mind is that every child is cognitively different from
the other. While some children may have stronger linguistic intelligence,
others may be more inclined towards music while still others could be
mathematically inclined.</span></div>

most institutions and parents in the United States give precedence only to
linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence. In f<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>act,
our society as a whole grades kids according to this prejudice, considering the
linguistically/mathematically intelligent kids as smarter. The truth is, every
child is built with different sets of strengths and weaknesses and has the
potential to be successful in different walks of life. Also, an education
pattern that may work for one child may not necessarily work for the other. Therefore,
there is a need for a customized approach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">The idea behind such
educational programs are to teach strategies to teachers that can help them decide
the starting point for the children and continuously help them raise the standard for themselves. The teachers are taught how to enhance a child’s self-confidence
by exposing him/her to their strengths rather than making them blindly compete with

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Most
teachers confuse stressors with stress. Preschool stressors are certainly an
inescapable and inevitable part of the child’s life. However, it is important
not to view stressors as the reason of stress. The former are merely demands
made on the child to learn, cooperate, comply with, share, and more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On
the contrary, preschool stress is the response of the preschool child to the
demands made on them. In case the child accepts demands willingly and
cheerfully, s/he will feel a sense of eustress. It releases endorphins, often
called ‘feel good chemicals’ into the bloodstream. There is no need for any
kind of stress relief for eustress.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">However,
when the little one rejects and rebels against demands, a sense of distress
takes charge. It is a negative situation that causes the release of adrenalin into
the bloodstream. The child gets fearful or combative, and completely
non-compliant. There is a definite need for stress relief here.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The
primary reason for a child experiencing "distress" instead of
"eustress" is their internal response to giving up to control or not
having anyone in control.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Like
adults, preschool children also need control in their life. They also require
boundaries. However, they do not want anyone to take control of or dominate
over them. They prefer handling situations on their own.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The
popular expression "terrible twos" came from the ‘terrible’
developmental stage of two-year olds who cry aloud ‘no’ to any control,
throwing tantrums. At the same time, they require someone to cling to. The <a href="http://www.californiacollegeofece.com/"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ECE teacher</b></a> should understand this sensitive psychology of the
kids and help them feel reassured, not confused and stressed out.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">With
all the mounting evidence, it is pretty clear that play-based learning is far more
superior in comparison to that through plain academics. Unfortunately, in spite
of the findings of such research studies, most educators continue to focus on
the need to ‘educate’ the child. Thus, preschoolers fill more sheets and
perform more seatwork. These were originally designated for first-graders or kindergartners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">A big
part of this tradition comes from the society's belief that brain functions are
more important than body functions. Moreover, many of us have lived with the misguided

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">The
truth is, children from kindergarten to third-grade should be more active in learning
because they're still too young to be forced to sit for hours. Conversely,
early childhood education happens to be less appropriate to all-round development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
