My Connection to Play

"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation." Plato
"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." George Bernard Shaw

I believe that play is different today because the children are not the same with all of the technology going on. The children today just want to play video games, be on the computer, and watch television. Years ago, children played outside doing a variety of activities.Children use their imagination to make up games.
Play is important and I believe that it should carry on throughout adulthood because it relieves stress and gives you a peace of mind. When adults interact with children they can find out so much about the child. I love to play with children because it build them physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally.

                                                     Reflecting on Building a Relationship


Building a relationship and partnership is an important factor in my life because of the world we live is based on socialization, partenering, and building relationship with others. I feel that I am an educator and a advocate for children so I have to beable to address many people and build relationships with communities and families of the children.
My mom has played an important part in my life and my have a great relationship that has been building for years. She is the first person that I go to when I need advice about must situation going on in my life. She taught me to be an advocate for me children and how to deal with many situations. My mom and I communicate everyday, we plan things together and she is my shoulder when I need one. My co-worker are also important to me because we are also like family, we spend just about the same time maybe even more with one another, but we all know that family type relationship and partnership did not start the first day we meet it took time for us to learn one another and get on the same page about a true purpose and that is to see successful children. The only the challenge that we experience asco-worker are parents collaborating with the program.
My mom is always here to offer anyone encouraging words when need and with my co-workers we offer and share different experience and techiques that can be benefitical in the classroom, because we want to successful children and families, because it takes all of us to raise our children.
