Social Skills and 'All About Me'

[bright sparks]

Good luck with your unit!!

A quote I read on pinterest came to mind when I read your last post...."If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach they way they learn."

As a parent of a 2E child this is exactly how we should teach children. In the real world meeting the needs of every different child's learning style is near damn impossible. After all teachers are only human, and unfortunatly so many of them are not even trained to do this, especially as more and more often learning styles are becoming far more unique rather than falling under a common section within the spectrum.....off topic lol

I think a full unit on this subject could be very helpful. Sometimes children need constant reinforcement. Modelling is fantastic although with early years education can be a long and grueling process. Quite often success is found with regular and repetitive lessons. Constant reminding isn't always enough for it to become automatic. A lot of children need a sensory component and so having these types of activity based learning is so effective with little ones. There's always the exception though who need more exposure and more extensive support till they "get it". I love every bodies ideas and am already doing some of them. I'm currently working with my 2 1/2 yr old dcb about feelings as he is acting out a bit recently since a change in family dynamic. Thanks for this thread 2cuteboys, very helpful

I'm happy someone else can benefit! I always love the threads on planning, sometimes there are ideas that come up that aren't even on my radar. It's great to share ideas!
