| Teaching kids requires an enormous amount of patience. I have also learned that you have to show young children tenderness because they are very sensitive. You too have to be sensitive and energetic to keep the child's attention. Another factor to teaching kids is making the learning experience fun. I think another key factor in teaching children is you have to have rewards for good work done. I love positive reinforcement!!! Make sure whatever subject your introducing them to has very abstract colorful learning tools so its exciting for the kid or should I say toddler. The reason I think teachers of toddlers should have a lot of patience is because toddlers have very short attention span. So it may take some time to get the small children to focus. When dealing with this type of behavior it can sometime be very frustrating but we must remember we are dealing with small children that might not yet grasp the full concept of what you are presenting to them. That's when the tenderness comes in you have to let them know its alright if they seem to struggle at first just have a little patience and they will slowly start to pick it up. Just remember to keep encouraging them. Some ways to make the learning experience fun are to turn the lesson into a game and incorporate prizes. |
