Monthly Musings - August 2024

August 15, 2024

In response to being asked about how to go deeper with one’s practice with children, we offer these monthly musings as invitations for you. You might take the invitation up

  • as an individual or with your team.
  • at monthly staff meetings.
  • to provoke conversations when feeling stuck.

The opportunities are endless.

We will pose these musings monthly but use them as you feel moved to. You might spend more than a month with one question. Or you might revisit a question at a later time. Each time you visit or revisit a question, new possibilities emerge.

I/we persisting (educator)

As an educator, you are a model of perseverance for children.

How does your own questioning, and also your reasoning when you participate in children's play, encourage them to persist in developing perseverance?
