All Things CLASS

Interacting with children is very important in early childhood educator. When teachers talk, plays, and listens to a child, they are building a relationship that extends beyond the classroom. Teachers are supporting the child's growth in many ways Socially, Cognitively, and physically, supporting their milestones. Children learn by exploring the world and seeing how adults responds. Positive interactions help them feel safe and valued. 

Teacher-child interactions can ensure that children benefit from early childhood education.
It is the quality and nature of interactions between adults and children that are responsible for the learning and development of children.

Small conversations like helping them draw, count or build blocks can build confidence.

children will respond better when you acknowledge them making them feel respected and heard. Saying things like " I know you are very angry right now and want to finish coloring but it's time to clean up our mess would you like me to help" getting on their eye level and making eye contact can make the interaction better with your students and more positive, so they can learn to respond to the world in a positive way next time. This shapes their development and their view of the world. I want to create an environment where every child feels included and supported.

Hi Tamarjani, I totally agree with you about how the teacher and child interactions are especially in early childhood education since how we treat and talk with them often sticks and can impact them as they are growing up, your right it's not just about teaching lessons, but about building meaningful relationships with these children so they feel safe valued and supported I really like how you pointed out that even small moments like helping them draw build blocks can make a big difference in their confidence and development. I totally agree. When I had one-on-one interactions with the kids, it seems that our relationship just got stronger, and they come to you more often when something's wrong or when they need help with something, and it's nice and reassuring to know that you're making a great impact on these children.
