The more that we understand about children, about how they develop, and how their development impacts their behaviour, the better that we can support children. And so I\u2019ll use this as an example: if you\u2019re working with a young infant, say, between six and eight months old, who\u2019s sitting in a high chair and is dropping toys off of their high chair. If you don\u2019t understand why they\u2019re doing that, that might seem like a frustrating behaviour. When you start to understand the cause and effect and the developmental thinking that\u2019s going on in this brilliant little brain, you have a whole new awakening of how you support that child. Because what that child is doing is, they\u2019re learning about object permanence. They\u2019re understanding cause and effect, what happens when I do this. And so when you can start to understand and observe children in the prime of their development, the work that you do becomes so much more impactful, and you can support it in such a different way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
