Nurturing Meaningful Connections with Young Children.
Carlsson-Paige, Nancy
Reclaiming Children and Youth, v10 n1 p17-23 Spr 2001
Describes how children construct meaning from experience, a natural process often undermined in U.S. society. Even so, many teachers find ways to support growth in all areas of development, including the emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. Teaching in a way that nurtures both head and heart can open up possibilities for more meaningful and compassionate connections with children. (BF)
