Discussion 2.1: What do all young children need in order to thrive?
Children don't need a lot to thrive. I believe besides the obvious healthy nutritious meals, and safe environment to be in, teachers/caregivers are responsible to pass on to children that great desire to learn, to ask questions, to be curious. Everything I believe comes from that; from my own experiment with my children, I see that no matter how many learning type toys I provide them with, if I don't spend time with them, playing with that toy, teaching and asking questions; they play with it for so long, and leave it in their toy box the next day.
