Seeing How Children See Us
Curtis, Deb; Baird, Lorrie
Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, n201 p8-10 Sep-Oct 2011
Children have laser-like attention for everything teachers do and say. They are skillful social scientists, learning about themselves, relationships, and the world by carefully observing the people around them. As keen observers, children notice the smallest details of a teacher's body language, tone of voice, and movements. Teachers' interactions and presence have a powerful impact on how children view themselves and the teachers. With this power comes an opportunity--as well as tremendous responsibility--for teachers to use it well. So, how can a teacher study the details of what children see in her/him and what these details may communicate? It begins with being conscientious about how one wants children to see her/him and taking the time to examine one's self.
