Children

There are many things you need to learn about before working with kids. It really scares me to think about having children of my own. There are so many things that can go on when raising children and it is important not to screw it up. I really liked how we talked about certain things to do when teaching children. These are things that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. The fact that children's brains are so much different than ours is kind of hard to grasp sometimes. I think we sometimes we don't realize how much they need to learn, but also how much they can learn on their own. My younger cousin is extremely smart and sometimes I forget that and talk to her like she is still a little girl. Even though she may be classified as that, she can pick up the baby talk and it really upsets her. This is an example of how we can underestimate kids sometimes. I also like how we talk about good ways to discipline. Instead of constantly saying "No" we can tell them what not to do. I also learned a lot about the importance of play and how children need to play in order to learn many different traits needed in our society. It is also good for their imagination and growth as children.
