Shakin Bones…Why is it that people who work in the field and claim to be Play Base at Holiday Times resort to “Teacher Crap”? Stop blaming it on parents/guardians saying they want it or its part of our diversity program and start asking the following questions.
· When is the last time you heard a child ask to wear a pilgrim hat? “What the hell is a pilgrim?”
· When is the last time you heard a child ask to do a week of “What I Am Thankful for”?
· When is the last time you heard a child ask to play with peppermint play dough?
· When is the last time you heard a child ask only to paint with red or green?
· When is the last time you heard a child ask to make a handprint ornament?
· When is the last time you heard a child ask that their school be turned into a “winter wonderland’?
· When is the last time you heard a child ask to stop, whatever they are playing with, to make a gift for someone?
In my thirty-six plus years working in the field of early childhood I have never had a child ask any of the questions above. If I did my question to the child is “What do we need to make that happen?”
Happy Holidays ~
