I
receive the Zero to Three Newsletter at least once a month now. It is tailored
to the age of my twin boys, who are now almost 20 months. So, seeing as how my
babies are my profession, as of right now, I love that I am able to connect my
learning of child development and early childhood education with the growth of
my little boys.
Oddly
enough, the newsletter I received this week had a brief section on how 20-month
olds can remember moments better if we talk to them about their experiences.
Furthermore, the paraphrase came from an article in The Journal of Experimental Child Psychology magazine. So once
again, neuroscientists are making an impact on how we look at the Early
Childhood Education field. I enjoyed the piece in the newsletter because it
reminds me, as a parent and professional, to always talk to children about the
happenings of the day, what will take place tomorrow, such as a trip to the
doctor, or even scary or upsetting experiences. In addition, the newsletter
section suggested a great way to keep memories intact with our children:
picture books.
In
addition, the newsletter was full of great information about how my twin boys
are developing now at 20-months old. I forget, in the go-go-go of my daily
routine, that my boys are learning about imagination, how to control their
actions, how to recognize others feelings, how to solve problems, and act like
little scientists in their exploration of everything!
