For future parents and teachers

Future parents and teachers remember....

There are few points to take int consideration:

1. Young children are incapable of adult logic. Preschoolers who block one’s view of the TV simply have not learned to take another’s viewpoint. What seems simple and obvious to us—getting off a teeter-totter will cause a friend on the other end to crash—may be incomprehensible to a 3-year-old. 
2. Also remember that children are not passive receptacles waiting to be filled with knowledge.  Better to build on what they already know, engaging them in concrete demonstrations and stimulating them to think for themselves. 
3. And, finally, accept children’s cognitive immaturity as adaptive. It is nature’s strategy for keeping children close to protective adults and providing time for learning and socialization.
