It is our function as adults around children to LISTEN to the children. Not just with our ears, but really listen with ourselves; our body, our eyes, our skin and with our own personality.
In Chengal Preschool, we LISTEN beyond their words as we understand children's words are still limited.
When children said they are "shy", we looks beyond the words and sometimes see, "shy", mean "scared" or sometimes it means, "I'm overwhelmed", or sometimes it means, " I need sometime to warm up".
When children said they are "lazy", we looks beyond the words and sometime find that lazy mean, "I' sleepy", or sometimes mean "I am tired", or sometimes it can means, "my core is under developed, so sitting straight is tiring for me", or sometimes it means, "my find motor skills, my grasp, my visual perspective is still developing, thus writing is very hard for me".
We listen to them within their experience, the cultural background, their family's value.
It is important for us adults to hear them out deeply beyond our cognitive thinking, and see the feelings behind their words. As their words can be wrongly choose but their feeling is always true.
Let us give them our Empathetic Listening, and supporting them, make them feel safe and confidence, because only them real LEARNING can happens.
Only them CREATIVITY flourish.
Let's do this together.
