Words of Inspiration and Motivation
“If the first three years of life are deprived in terms of stimulation and interaction with warm, nurturing human beings, it's going to be real tough for the child to acquire the depth and breadth of verbal language needed to build reading abilities”~ Dr. Susan Bredekamp

The first three years are very important to a child and if they don't have great role models they then suffer.
ReplyDeleteThese years are so important for children. It is this time when they need to be talked to at the table and in the car. So often we see those portable DVD players what a waste of valuable time. During these years children pick up on everything. We need to read to them more and talk to them often.
ReplyDeleteYes, as educators we know and understand the importance of language. How do we "retrian" parents to truly understand how important stimulation and interaction is to language? If those parents are not participating in our programs it's nearly impossible to reach them.
