Witness spontaneous creative acts and activities. Maybe you'll see something you didn't know was there before. We may not realize how our filters affect what we see, but the influence of our assumptions, our prejudices and our preconceived notions is tremendous. Assume the view of a child, a parent, or a visitor when you observe your classroom. You'll be amazed at how point of view changes everything.
Individual differences are what make life interesting.
Sure, we'd like all children to be good natured, obedient and responsible, but it's those little differences that make us who we are. Not everyone shares the same talents, interests, viewpoint or challenges. However, we can learn from each other and celebrate those qualities that make each of us unique in our own special ways. Take time to observe and respond to your children's individual needs. Watching a crowd can teach you that group dynamics are a powerful force.
