| Within established, clear routines children feel safe and secure, gaining the self-confidence necessary to fully participate in all activities. The children choose their own work, and are responsible, with any help necessary, for themselves (e.g. washing hands after painting), at times for others (e.g. helping another child complete a task), and for maintaining the classroom environment (e.g. putting their work away neatly). Children soon realize that their ideas and suggestions are given serious consideration, and can be incorporated into the program. This not only raises self-esteem but also helps children become more aware of others, and their feelings and needs. Co-operation, sharing, and helping others evolve naturally through observation, discussion and experience. |
