When You Think of Child Development...What Would You Do?

As educators we have to think about the importance of child development and what we can do to foster it. A lot of educators have a hard time thinking/reflecting on what the most important thing is about child development. Simply; the answer is...THE CHILD AS AN INDIVIDUAL. The TedTalk clilp not only addresses that, but hits on many of the topics we have discovered throughout this course. I will remember Tom Weisner's last statement and share this knowledge to the teachers I mentor; "think about the context the whole world around the child and you will do much better at improving the lives of children everywhere."

Let's learn about the child first, so we can understand how to best assist in healthy development that will allow for great success.
