When I Think of Child Development …

"Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate." - Anonymous

I like this quote because it reminds us of how much children absorb when they are young. In addition, it also reminds me about how important it is for us to role model for children. Throughout this class, I have learned how much and how quickly children learn in their early years. This quote is a reminder to all of us to keep engaging children and explore together with them. Having a two year old also reminds me every day that he will imitate the good and the bad. That is why the second part of this quote is so dear to me because it helps me stay on track with being a great role model for him. I just hope that everyone who wants to work with children keeps in mind that we have to do something great that children can imitate.
