How can I help children?

I can help children nd meaning in what they do by asking them questions about their
interests, how it appears to them and then proceed to help them think deeper and
meaningfully. For example, my youngest siblings had enjoyed drawing and I encouraged
him to keep doing what he's passionate about. I asked him why he liked drawing so
much and his response was, "it makes me happy." I asked him to elaborate and he
responded that he liked drawing people that made him happy. The characters he drew
were often heroes from the cartoons he's watched.

How Does Learning Happen?

In my professional opinion, learning happens when educators and families provide
children the experience to engage in child-initiated play. Educators and families help
children foster their development and interests by providing them the support and
materials they need.

My View of the Environment
My view of the environment are the buildings, institutions, parks, churches, schools,
stores, and services that provide for the community. The environment is what shapes
our communities and makes them function. The government is included as they create
laws and regulate the function of our society. The environment also helps us connect
with others, with institutions and with nature.
My Image of the Educator and their Role
My image of the Educator is a responsible, unbiased, and empathic person that
responds to the individual needs of a child with compassion. The Educator treats all
children and people as equals regardless of their economic background, social status,
race, ethnicity, and gender. The educator believes that children can grow to be
competent individuals. The educator looks for help and resources if the child and their
family face any challenges. 
My Image of the Child
My image of a child is a person that is growing, learning and developing across all
developmental domains. The child tries and learns from experiences. The child is happy
or sad depending on their environment, but the child continues to grow and adapt and
become autonomous.
