5 Tips to Inspire lifelong Readers!
By Julian Maietta
Reading with a child creates opportunities for building relationships and
strengthening cognitive development. For these reasons, sharing a
story can be viewed as an introduction to new concepts and moments
to reinforce vocabulary, memory, and sequencing. By offering a print
rich environment your child’s neural pathways will grow stronger and
they will develop a passion for literature.
Here are some quick tips to consider:
Make a routine, try to share at least one book every day. Sharing a
book can be a nice way to start and finish the day. A comfortable and
favorite reading place can be part of the routine.
 Put away electronic devices so that the child can focus and you
can be present in the moment.
 Involve the child by encouraging dialogue about the pictures and
repeating familiar words.
 Try out funny noises and sounds – play and have fun!
 Create opportunities for the child to choose the book. Be pre-
pared to read favorite books over and over again!
Sharing language and illustrations with a child can be a special
time to continue to grow and playfully learn together.

The year between age 2 and age 3 is an exciting one. Toddlers
are realizing that they are separate individuals from their par-
ents and caregivers. This means that they are driven to assert
themselves, to communicate their likes and dislikes, and to act
independently (as much as they can!). Toddlers are also devel-
oping the language skills that help them express their ideas,
wants, and needs.
At the same time, toddlers do not understand logic and still
have a hard time with waiting and self-control. In a nutshell:
Two-year-olds want what they want when they want it. This is
why you may be hearing things like “no” and “me do it” and “no
diaper change!” more than ever before.
Learning to Handle Strong Feelings
As a parent, your job is to help your young
toddler navigate the tide of strong emotions
she is experiencing this year. This is no small
task, because the emotional lives of 2-year-
olds are complex. This year they are begin-
ning to experience feelings like pride, shame,
guilt, and embarrassment for the first time.
Older toddlers are a lot like teenagers. Their feelings may swing
wildly from moment to moment. They may be joyful when get-
ting a popsicle and then despair when it drips on their hands. So
toddlers really need your loving guidance to figure out how to
cope with their emotions. Your child is struggling with this
when:
 He has a meltdown when you can’t understand his words
 She says no when she means yes (you are offering her a
favorite treat)
 He gets so angry that he might throw a toy
 She cannot settle for a substitute-if the purple pajamas are
in the wash, she is inconsolable (even though you have
offered the pink ones, the polka dot one, the ones with the
cupcake patch on the front, etc.)
 He acts out when frustrated-will give up or get angry when
he can’t figure out how to make the jack-in-the-box work
Your child is learning to manage strong feelings when he:
 Uses words or actions to get yuour attention or ask for help
 Talks to himself in a reassuring way when he is frustrated or
frightened. For example, he might say to himself, Daddy
will come back, after you drop him off at child care. Or, I can
build this again after his block tower collapses
 Re-enacts a stressful event, like a doctor’s visit
 Uses words like I’m mad rather than throwing or hitting
 Tells you the rules or shows that she feels badly about
breaking rules. For example, your child might say no to
herself as she does something off-limits, like opening the
fridge. Or he might tell you at the park, Don’t walk in front
of the swings.
Practicing Self-Control
When you see challenging behavior, it usually means that your
child can’t figure out how to express her feelings in an accepta-
ble way or doesn’t know how to get a need met. What helps
your child learn is when your response shows her a different,
more constructive way to handle these feelings.
Learning to cope with strong feelings usually happens naturally
as children develop better language skills in their third year and
have more experience with peers, handling disappointment, and
following rules. Although children won’t completely master self
-control until they are school-age (and practice it all their lives!),
here are some ideas for helping your toddler begin to learn this
important skill:
TALK ABOUT FEELINGS AND HOW TO COPE.
Read books and notice aloud how the characters are feeling:
The dog is really happy that he got a bone. And share your own
feelings: I just spilled the baby’s milk. I feel really frustrated! Will
you help me wipe it up? Wow, it feels so good to have your help.
When your child can label how he is feeling, it helps him gain
control over his emotions and communicate them to others.
Once your child has named his feelings, you can suggest what
he might do to feel better or solve the problem. This helps him
learn what to do in the future when he faces a similar challenge.
For example, if he is sad because his grandparents just left after
a 2-week visit, you can suggest looking at photos of them or
drawing them a picture.
OFFER YOUR CHILD IDEAS FOR HOW TO MANAGE STRONG
EMOTIONS.
Young children need guidance when it comes to figuring out
how to deal with big feelings like anger, sadness, and frustra-
tion. So when your child is really angry, validate what he is ex-
periencing: You are really angry right now because I said no more
television.
Then suggest that he jump up and down, hit the sofa cushions,
rip paper, cuddle up in a cozy area for alone time, paint an angry
picture or some other strategy that you feel is appropriate.
What’s important is to teach your child that there are many op-
tions for expressing his feelings in healthy, non-hurtful ways.
EMPATHIZE WITH YOUR CHILD.
It’s okay to let her know that you understand the choices she is
being offered are not the ones she wants: We have to leave now
to go to Ms. Kelly’s house. I know you want to stay home with
Daddy. You miss me and I miss you during the day. But staying
home is not a choice today. Daddy has to go to work. But when
we get home, we will finish the puzzle we started and have a yum-
my dinner. Do you want to get into the car seat yourself or do you
want me to put you in?

Continued from page 2
GIVE YOUR CHILD A VISUAL AID TO MAKE WAITING
EASIER.
If your child has to wait until his oatmeal has cooled down, show
him the steam rising from the bowl. Tell him that when the
steam goes away, you can test the oatmeal on a spoon to see if
it is cool enough. If you need to help your child brush her teeth
for 2 minutes each day, use an egg timer so she can watch the
countdown. Need 10 minutes to fold some clothes? Set a kitch-
en timer so that your child can keep track.
Timers are also great tools for helping children learn to share.
Give them each a few minutes-using the timer-to play with a toy
they both want, like the shiny new tricycle parked out back. It’s
also helpful to state the obvious: It’s hard to wait sometimes,
isn’t it?
LET YOUR CHILD MAKE CHOICES APPROPRIATE TO HER
AGE.
Some examples include: what to wear (perhaps offer 2 choices)
and what to eat (within reason), what to play, who to play with.
This gives her a feeling of control and supports her growing con-
fidence and sense of competency (the belief that “I can do it”).
Offering choices also helps head off the “Not That One” game
where you keep offering your child different things and he keeps
saying “Not that one, the other one!” Instead, try giving your
child 3 choices and let him pick: You can have an apple, a string
cheese, or a bagel for snack. What sounds good to you?
LOOK FOR WAYS TO HELP YOUR CHILD “PRACTICE” SELF-
CONTROL.
There are many daily moments when you can teach your child
this skill. For example, games that require turn-taking are great
for practicing how to wait and share. Rolling a ball back and
forth is an example. This game gives children the chance to
wait and control their impulse to grab the ball. You can also
take turns hitting a soft foam ball off a tee.
Or try acting out a story. Pretend play offers many chances to
wait, take turns, and negotiate as children decide how the story
will unfold. Another idea is playing “sharing music” where each
of you chooses an instrument to play and set an egg-timer for 1
minute. When the timer goes off, switch instruments and set
the timer again.

Toddlers and Challenging Behavior: WhyThey Do It and How to Respond
The first step in any
discipline encounter is to
take a deep, calming
breath. Three deep breaths
shut off the fight or flight
response in the body.
The four core active
calming techniques used
in Conscious Discipline are
S.T.A.R., balloon, pretzel
and drain.
Teach these techniques
to children, post images
of them in your Safe
Place and find ways to
incorporate them into daily
activities.

Encouraging a Young Birdwatcher
Encouraging children to be backyard scientists helps them learn new facts. So much is still
unknown about the way birds live that any careful observer can gather new information of scientific
value. Now is the time when children are young to help them set up their very own lab and begin
gathering information. Set up different feeding spots with varied sorts of feed so that a child will
have a range of variables for observation: sunflower seeds in hanging feeders, or mixed seed and
cracked corn scattered on the ground. Try putting some feed in an onion bag and tie it to a tree
branch.
Next, allow the children to observe the feeding spots and pick three different species to watch over
the next few weeks. Don’t worry about the birds’ proper names: “the blue one with the point on
his head,” “the little black and white bird,” or “the one that hangs upside down on the pole feeder,”
will do just fine.
Choose a few favorite birds and encourage the children to draw pictures of them. This is a good
way to interest children in honing their skills of perception. Binoculars and cameras are helpful
tools for enabling close observation. Don’t rush to the library for a book right away; let young
scientists learn to see and record the information first hand. Encourage older children to add a
written description below the drawing indicating the bird size, shape, and coloring.
Once the drawings and descriptions are in place, encourage them to ask
questions about the specific bird species: When do they come? Do they
arrive in a flock or alone? Do they eat at the hanging feeder or on the
ground? How do they eat? Do they take seed away from the feeder or eat
on the spot? Nurturing an appreciation for birds can develop into a lifelong
interest in science!
What better way to show children that you LOVE them than to
spend some time reading a book together!

training about practical and influential ways to interact with young children. Join us as we explore a number of practical
insights and strategies that can help to increase our effectiveness as educators of young children.
FULL PARTICIPATION OF EVERY CHILD (6 Hr Series)
This training provides you with insights, tools, and strategies to promote engagement in play, learning, and development
for each young child. The training emphasizes evidence-based practices for supporting children who are culturally and
linguistically diverse, and strategies for overcoming biases to build trusting and collaborative partnerships with families.
EXPLORING THE FOUNDATIONS (2 Hrs)
This training provides a first look at the NM Early Learning Guidelines (ELGs) and the Authentic Observations Documenta-
tion Curriculum Planning (AODCP) process. The module is designed for individuals new to working with the ELGs and/or
new to the AODCP process. Content will include an introduction to the terms and definitions used in the NM ELGs, the
history of the ELG, and an overview of the Foundational Principles. Participants will practice using observation as a tool
for documentation, curriculum planning, and communicating with families.
PUTTNG IT INTO PRACTICE (4 Hr Series)
This is the second part of the ELG/AODCP series and is designed for individuals who are familiar with the history of the
ELG’s and have a basic understanding of what Authentic Observation means. Learning will be centered on formulating a
process cycle for observation, documentation, and process planning as well as starting the reflective process.
WEAVING IT ALL TOGETHER (4 Hr Series)
The last part of the ELG/AODCP series is designed for individuals who have experience working with the ELGs and the
AODCP process. Participants will explore the Developmental Interaction Approach and how it relates to the NM ELG;
family and community engagement ; and inclusive practice and understanding diversity and individualization.
HOW ARE CHILDREN LEARNING THROUGH PLAY? (2 Hrs)
This module is designed for individuals who are new to working with young children or who are unfamiliar with the
concepts and research on play based learning. This module is designed to break down certain concepts into smaller
components to help make better sense of a bigger idea. The conversation will begin by introducing basic concepts of
how children learn through play and exploring the role of the adult in that play..

Observation: The Key to Understanding Your Child
by Jarrod Green
Young children sometimes behave in challenging or confusing
ways. You may occasionally have thoughts like:
“Why does she keep pinching her brother’s nose?”
“Why does he put his snack in his hair?”
“Why does she cry when it’s time to put shoes on?”
At first glance, young children’s behaviors can be downright
baffling! Preschool teachers are taught that all behavior is
communication and we are trained to observe, document, and
analyze children’s behavior to understand what they are
“telling” us. With a few tips, you too can start observing your
child’s behavior like a pro.
Looking for patterns
Any behavior that occurs over and over is happening for a rea-
son. If you can find the pattern in the behavior, you can figure
out how to stop it.
The first step is simply to write down what happens. At first it
feels weird, right after your child puts a gummi bear up his
nose, to pull out a pad of paper and write it down. The prob-
lem is, our memories are terrible. Simply making a note of
what happened can help you see patterns you may not notice
otherwise.
A few years ago the children in my classroom were getting
into too many fights. I didn’t know why, so I started writing
the incidents down. At the end of three days I looked at my
notes and saw “9:20, fight over Legos; 9:50, fight over Legos;
10:00, fight over Legos...” I didn’t have a problem with fights in
my classroom; I had a problem with fights at the Lego table!
Once I saw the pattern, I could make a change to improve
things. I brought in twice as many Legos and put them at a
bigger table. Ninety percent of the fighting stopped right
there!
Whatever the challenging behavior is, just start writing it
down. You might be amazed what you find.
The ABCs of behavior
To up your game from simple note taking, try what teachers
call the “Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence” model—or simp-
ly ABC for short. Don’t let the big words put you
off. Antecedent just means “what happened right be-
fore,” behavior means “what happened,” and consequence
means “what happened right after.” Basically, ABC means
don’t just write down what happened—write down what hap-
pened right before and after too.
The antecedent is whatever was going on around your child
right before she, say, dumped her milk on the couch—again.
Was she getting ready for school? Listen-
ing to music? Perhaps it was when you
left the room to get her teddy bear or
told her to put her shoes on. Simple
stuff, right? But such observations can
be a gold mine for figuring out what’s
causing a behavior.
I worked with a family who said their 28-month-old would
“start screaming, all the time, for no reason.” But after a few
days of writing down the ABCs, the parents realized that their
son started screaming only if he was left alone in a room—a
pattern they hadn’t noticed before. Armed with this
knowledge, they would tell him, “I’m going to go to the bed-
room to get a sweater and come right back. Do you want to
come with me, or wait here?” Over a few days the screaming
all but stopped.
The consequence is whatever happened right after the child
spread jam on the wall. Did you yell at him, and he cried? Did
you send him to his room and when he wouldn’t go, carry him
up and close the door? Or did you tell him that’s not okay, help
him clean the wall, then read a book together? The conse-
quence is often more emotional to write down than the ante-
cedent but just as important to finding the pattern.
A teacher I know once worked with a child who frequently
dumped milk or juice on his clothes at snack and lunch time.
Once she started writing down the ABCs, she realized that eve-
ry time the child did this, several teachers would rush to his
side, talking to him and cleaning him lovingly. The teacher
guessed that the behavior was a bid for attention and care in a
crowded classroom. She started giving him more attention
when he behaved appropriately, and gave only minimal atten-
tion when he dumped his juice. The negative behavior disap-
peared in a week.
Write it down!
Some teachers seek graduate degrees just to refine their ob-
servational skills, but you’ve got the bones of it right here.
When you’re stuck with your child’s challenging behavior,
write it down, along with what happened right before and
what happened right after. When you see a pattern, you can
work on changing it.
This method is incredibly simple, but surprisingly tricky—the
first time you do it, it’ll feel really weird. But I promise it gets
easier and the payoffs can be huge. That teacher you secretly
call “the toddler whisperer”? She started off right where you
are. With a little observation and a few notes, you’ll start un-
derstanding what’s going on in your child’s head—and things
will get a little bit easier.

Niños pequeños algunas veces se comportan en maneras
desafiantes y confusas. Algunas veces tendrás pensamientos
como:
 “Por qué ella siempre le esta pellizcando la nariz a su her-
manito?”
 “Por qué el esta poniéndose su merienda en el cabello?”
 “Por qué ella llora cuando es hora de ponerse los zapa-
tos?”
A primera vista, los comportamientos de los niños pueden ser
francamente desconcertantes! Las maestras de prescolar han
sido ensenadas de que todos los comportamientos son una
manera de comunicación y estamos capacitados para obser-
var, documentar, y analizar el comportamiento de los niños
para entender que es lo que están “diciéndonos”. Con algunas
ideas, tú también puedes empezar a observar el comporta-
miento de tu niño como un profesional.
Busca por patrones
Cualquier comportamiento que ocurre una y otra vez esta su-
cediendo por alguna razón. Si tú puedes encontrar el patrón
en el comportamiento, tú puedes descifrar como páralo.
El primer paso es simplemente escribir lo que está ocurriendo.
Al principio se siente extraño, después que tu niño se pone un
dulce en su nariz, sacar una libreta de papel y escribirlo. El pro-
blema es, nuestra memoria es terrible. Simplemente escribien-
do una nota de lo que paso puede ayudarte a ver patrones que
tú no hallas notado de otras maneras.
Hace unos cuantos años los niños en mi salón de clase se esta-
ban metiendo en muchas peleas. Yo no sabía por qué, así que
empecé a escribir todos los episodios. Al final de tres días mire
mis notas y vi “9:20, pelea por los Legos; 9:50, pelea por los
Legos; 10:00, pelea por los Legos…” Yo no tenía problemas
con peleas en mi salón de clase; yo tenía un problema con pe-
leas en la mesa de Legos! Una vez vi el patrón, pude hacer un
cambio para mejorar las cosas. Compre el doble de Legos y los
puse en una mesa más grande. Noventa por ciento de las pe-
leas pararon ahí mismo!
Cualquiera sea el comportamiento desafiante, solo empieza
por escribirlo. Tú te sorprenderás con lo que vas a encontrar.
El ABC del comportamiento
Para mejorar tu juego del simple hecho de tomar notas, inten-
ta lo que los educadores llaman el modelo de “Antecedente-
Comportamiento (Behavior en Ingles)-Consecuencia” – o sim-
plemente el ABC para acortarlo. No dejes que las palabras
grandes interfieran. Antecedente únicamente significa “que
paso inmediatamente antes,” comportamiento significa “que
paso,” y consecuencias significa “que paso inmediatamente
después.” Básicamente, ABC significa no solo escribas que
paso – escribe que paso inmediatamente antes y también des-
pués.
El antecedente es cualquier cosa que haya ocurrido alrededor
de tu niño antes de que ella, por ejemplo, arrojara la leche en
tu sofá – de nuevo. Se estaba alistando para ir a la escuela?
Escuchando música? Tal vez fue cuando tú dejaste la habita-
ción para traer a su osito o le dijiste que se pusiera los zapatos.
Cosas simples, cierto? Sin embargo estas observaciones pue-
den ser muy importantes para saber que está causando el
comportamiento.
Yo trabaje con una familia que dijo que su niño de 28 meses
“empezaba a gritar, todo el tiempo, sin ninguna razón.” Pero
después de un par de días en el que escribieron sus ABC, los
padres se dieron cuenta que su hijo empezaba a gritar solo si
se quedaba solo en una habitación – un patrón que ellos no
habían notado en el pasado. Armados con este conocimiento,
ellos le decían, “Voy a ir a la habitación a traer un saco y ya
vuelvo. Quieres venir conmigo, o quedarte acá?” Los gritos
pararon casi pararon después de un par de días.
La consecuencia es cualquier cosa que ocurrió después de que
el niño esparció mermelada en la pared. Le gritaste, y el lloro?
Lo enviaste a su cuarto y cuando él se negó, lo cargaste y ce-
rraste la puerta? O le dijiste que eso no estaba bien, le ayudas-
te a limpiar la pared, y después leíste un libro juntos? La conse-
cuencia es más emocional para escribirla que el antecedente
pero es tan importante para encontrar el patrón.
Sé que un educador trabajo con un niño que frecuentemente
regaba su leche o jugo en su ropa a la hora de la merienda. Una
vez ella empezó a escribir su ABC, se dio cuenta que cada vez
que el niño hizo esto, muchas maestras corrían a su lado, ha-
blándole y limpiándolo amorosamente. La educadora creyó
que el comportamiento era en busca de atención y cuidado en
un salón lleno de niños. Ella empezó a darle atención cuando él
se comportaba de manera apropiada, y le daba atención míni-
ma cuando regaba su jugo. El comportamiento negativo desa-
pareció en una semana.
Escríbelo!
Algunos educadores buscan por maestrías solo para refinar
sus habilidades de observación, pero tú tienes el esqueleto
aquí mismo. Cuando te sientas estancado con los comporta-
mientos desafiantes de tu niño, escríbelo, con lo que paso in-
mediatamente antes y lo que paso inmediatamente después.
Cuando ves el patrón, puedes buscar soluciones y cambiar el
comportamiento.
Este método es increíblemente simple, pero sorprendente-
mente difícil – la primera vez que tú lo haces, se sentirá extra-
ño. Pero te prometo se convierte mucho más fácil y la recom-
pensa es gigante. Esa maestra que tu llamas secretamente “el
susurrador de niños”? ella empezó allí donde tu estas. Con un
poco de observación y unas cuantas notas, tú empezaras a
entender que está sucediendo en la cabeza de tu niño – y las
cosas se volverán un poco más fáciles.

Toy Name:
Set of Wood Trucks
Vehicles that encourage imagination
Wooden toys give children the ability to take control. While
some wooden toys come in the shape of vehicles, food,
or common household items, they still encourage children
to use their imaginations to incorporate them into learning
and play. For example, children can experiment with
physics by building different structures with the wooden
toys or learn about geometry by manipulating the toys to
create their own geometric patterns.
Wooden Toys are Less Distracting
When children play with wooden toys, they supply all
the voices, alarms, and other sound effects, rather than
listening to the toy. This allows children to be in control of
what they do with the toys and to keep their minds clear
as they think through different scenarios or solve
problems. While some children really enjoy toys with all
the bells and whistles, the noises and electronic features
can interrupt a child’s thinking process or limit how far a
child’s imagination can go by boxing them into specific
ways to play with the toy.
Beyond the simple Vroom!
Preschoolers love activities that include playing with all
types of transportation items including vehicles such as
this truck set. These items are part of their everyday lives.
They drive or walk to school, have seen or ridden on a
bus or have seen a firetruck zoom through the streets.
These are some ideas for educators and parents of how
to extend children’s learning with these fantastic items.
 Ramp It Up! Show the children how to make ramps
for their vehicles. Discuss the distance they go on
each ramp. Ask questions to get them thinking such
as "I wonder why this car went this far on this ramp
but only this far on the other ramp". "I wonder how we
can make the car go further? faster? slower?".
 DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) Turn your
dramatic play area into the DMV!
 Stay on the Road! Use chalk to draw roads for the
children to pace their wooden trucks and follow
directions, know traffic signs and locate places on
your “road”.
Sección de Biblioteca: Preescolar
Nombre de juguete: Juego Camiones de
Madera
Vehículos que fomentan la imaginación
Juguetes de madera les brindan a los niños la habilidad
de tomar el control. Mientras algunos juguetes de madera
vienen en formas de vehículos, comida, o artículos para
el hogar, ellos todavía incentivan a los niños a usar su
imaginación e incorporar estos materiales en su juego.
Por ejemplo, los niños pueden experimentar con física
construyendo diferentes estructuras con los juguetes de
madera o aprender acerca de geometría manipulando los
juguetes para crear sus propios modelos geométricos.
Los juguetes de madera son menos perturbantes
Cuando los niños juegan con juguetes de madera, ellos
suministran todas las voces, alarmas, y otros efectos de
sonido, en vez de escuchar al juguete. Esto permite a los
niños a estar en control de lo que hacen con el juguete
y para mantener sus mentes claras cuando piensan
acerca de los diferentes escenarios y resuelven proble-
mas. Mientras algunos niños disfrutan los juguetes con
todas las campanas y silbatos, los ruidos y todas las
características electrónicas estas pueden interrumpir el
proceso de pensamiento de los niños y limitar que tan
lejos la imaginación del niño puede ir al encajarlos en
formas específicas de como jugar con el juguete.
Más allá del simple Burrum!
Los niños en prescolar aman las actividades que incluyen
jugar con todo tipo de elementos de transportación como
este juego de camiones de madera. Estos elementos son
parte de su vida diaria. Ellos manejan o caminan a la
escuela, han visto o han estado en un bus o han visto un
carro de bomberos ir rápido en la calle. Estas son algunas
ideas para educadores y padres de familia para como
extender el aprendizaje de sus niños con esos elementos:
 Crea rampas! Muéstrale a los niños como crear
rampas para los vehículos. Discute la distancia de
cada rampa. Pregúntales “Por qué este carro fue más
lejos en esta rampa pero solo este poco en esta otra”.
“Como haríamos al camión ir más lejos? Más rápido?
Mas despacio?”.
 DMV (Departamento de Vehículos Motorizados)
Vuelve to área dramática en un DMV!
 Mantente en la Carretera! Usa tiza para dibujar
carreteras para que los niños sigan direcciones,
conozcan las señales de tránsito y ubiquen lugares
en la “carretera”.

By Julian Maietta Reading with a child creates opportunities for building relationships and strengthening cognitive development. For these reasons, sharing a story can be viewed as an introduction to new concepts and moments to reinforce vocabulary, memory, and sequencing. By offering a print rich environment your child’s neural pathways will grow stronger and they will develop a passion for literature. Here are some quick tips to consider: Make a routine, try to share at least one book every day. Sharing a book can be a nice way to start and finish the day. A comfortable and favorite reading place can be part of the routine.  Put away electronic devices so that the child can focus and you can be present in the moment.  Involve the child by encouraging dialogue about the pictures and repeating familiar words.  Try out funny noises and sounds – play and have fun!  Create opportunities for the child to choose the book. Be pre- pared to read favorite books over and over again! Sharing language and illustrations with a child can be a special time to continue to grow and playfully learn together.

  • 2. Page 2 Cariño TTAP Early Childhood The year between age 2 and age 3 is an exciting one. Toddlers are realizing that they are separate individuals from their par- ents and caregivers. This means that they are driven to assert themselves, to communicate their likes and dislikes, and to act independently (as much as they can!). Toddlers are also devel- oping the language skills that help them express their ideas, wants, and needs. At the same time, toddlers do not understand logic and still have a hard time with waiting and self-control. In a nutshell: Two-year-olds want what they want when they want it. This is why you may be hearing things like “no” and “me do it” and “no diaper change!” more than ever before. Learning to Handle Strong Feelings As a parent, your job is to help your young toddler navigate the tide of strong emotions she is experiencing this year. This is no small task, because the emotional lives of 2-year- olds are complex. This year they are begin- ning to experience feelings like pride, shame, guilt, and embarrassment for the first time. Older toddlers are a lot like teenagers. Their feelings may swing wildly from moment to moment. They may be joyful when get- ting a popsicle and then despair when it drips on their hands. So toddlers really need your loving guidance to figure out how to cope with their emotions. Your child is struggling with this when:  He has a meltdown when you can’t understand his words  She says no when she means yes (you are offering her a favorite treat)  He gets so angry that he might throw a toy  She cannot settle for a substitute-if the purple pajamas are in the wash, she is inconsolable (even though you have offered the pink ones, the polka dot one, the ones with the cupcake patch on the front, etc.)  He acts out when frustrated-will give up or get angry when he can’t figure out how to make the jack-in-the-box work Your child is learning to manage strong feelings when he:  Uses words or actions to get yuour attention or ask for help  Talks to himself in a reassuring way when he is frustrated or frightened. For example, he might say to himself, Daddy will come back, after you drop him off at child care. Or, I can build this again after his block tower collapses  Re-enacts a stressful event, like a doctor’s visit  Uses words like I’m mad rather than throwing or hitting  Tells you the rules or shows that she feels badly about breaking rules. For example, your child might say no to herself as she does something off-limits, like opening the fridge. Or he might tell you at the park, Don’t walk in front of the swings. Practicing Self-Control When you see challenging behavior, it usually means that your child can’t figure out how to express her feelings in an accepta- ble way or doesn’t know how to get a need met. What helps your child learn is when your response shows her a different, more constructive way to handle these feelings. Learning to cope with strong feelings usually happens naturally as children develop better language skills in their third year and have more experience with peers, handling disappointment, and following rules. Although children won’t completely master self -control until they are school-age (and practice it all their lives!), here are some ideas for helping your toddler begin to learn this important skill: TALK ABOUT FEELINGS AND HOW TO COPE. Read books and notice aloud how the characters are feeling: The dog is really happy that he got a bone. And share your own feelings: I just spilled the baby’s milk. I feel really frustrated! Will you help me wipe it up? Wow, it feels so good to have your help. When your child can label how he is feeling, it helps him gain control over his emotions and communicate them to others. Once your child has named his feelings, you can suggest what he might do to feel better or solve the problem. This helps him learn what to do in the future when he faces a similar challenge. For example, if he is sad because his grandparents just left after a 2-week visit, you can suggest looking at photos of them or drawing them a picture. OFFER YOUR CHILD IDEAS FOR HOW TO MANAGE STRONG EMOTIONS. Young children need guidance when it comes to figuring out how to deal with big feelings like anger, sadness, and frustra- tion. So when your child is really angry, validate what he is ex- periencing: You are really angry right now because I said no more television. Then suggest that he jump up and down, hit the sofa cushions, rip paper, cuddle up in a cozy area for alone time, paint an angry picture or some other strategy that you feel is appropriate. What’s important is to teach your child that there are many op- tions for expressing his feelings in healthy, non-hurtful ways. EMPATHIZE WITH YOUR CHILD. It’s okay to let her know that you understand the choices she is being offered are not the ones she wants: We have to leave now to go to Ms. Kelly’s house. I know you want to stay home with Daddy. You miss me and I miss you during the day. But staying home is not a choice today. Daddy has to go to work. But when we get home, we will finish the puzzle we started and have a yum- my dinner. Do you want to get into the car seat yourself or do you want me to put you in? Toddlers and Challenging Behavior: WhyThey Do It and How to Respond
  • 3. Cariño TTAP Early Childhood Page 5 Continued from page 2 GIVE YOUR CHILD A VISUAL AID TO MAKE WAITING EASIER. If your child has to wait until his oatmeal has cooled down, show him the steam rising from the bowl. Tell him that when the steam goes away, you can test the oatmeal on a spoon to see if it is cool enough. If you need to help your child brush her teeth for 2 minutes each day, use an egg timer so she can watch the countdown. Need 10 minutes to fold some clothes? Set a kitch- en timer so that your child can keep track. Timers are also great tools for helping children learn to share. Give them each a few minutes-using the timer-to play with a toy they both want, like the shiny new tricycle parked out back. It’s also helpful to state the obvious: It’s hard to wait sometimes, isn’t it? LET YOUR CHILD MAKE CHOICES APPROPRIATE TO HER AGE. Some examples include: what to wear (perhaps offer 2 choices) and what to eat (within reason), what to play, who to play with. This gives her a feeling of control and supports her growing con- fidence and sense of competency (the belief that “I can do it”). Offering choices also helps head off the “Not That One” game where you keep offering your child different things and he keeps saying “Not that one, the other one!” Instead, try giving your child 3 choices and let him pick: You can have an apple, a string cheese, or a bagel for snack. What sounds good to you? LOOK FOR WAYS TO HELP YOUR CHILD “PRACTICE” SELF- CONTROL. There are many daily moments when you can teach your child this skill. For example, games that require turn-taking are great for practicing how to wait and share. Rolling a ball back and forth is an example. This game gives children the chance to wait and control their impulse to grab the ball. You can also take turns hitting a soft foam ball off a tee. Or try acting out a story. Pretend play offers many chances to wait, take turns, and negotiate as children decide how the story will unfold. Another idea is playing “sharing music” where each of you chooses an instrument to play and set an egg-timer for 1 minute. When the timer goes off, switch instruments and set the timer again. Adapted from ZERO TO THREE: National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families Toddlers and Challenging Behavior: WhyThey Do It and How to Respond The first step in any discipline encounter is to take a deep, calming breath. Three deep breaths shut off the fight or flight response in the body. The four core active calming techniques used in Conscious Discipline are S.T.A.R., balloon, pretzel and drain. Teach these techniques to children, post images of them in your Safe Place and find ways to incorporate them into daily activities.

Encouraging a Young Birdwatcher Encouraging children to be backyard scientists helps them learn new facts. So much is still unknown about the way birds live that any careful observer can gather new information of scientific value. Now is the time when children are young to help them set up their very own lab and begin gathering information. Set up different feeding spots with varied sorts of feed so that a child will have a range of variables for observation: sunflower seeds in hanging feeders, or mixed seed and cracked corn scattered on the ground. Try putting some feed in an onion bag and tie it to a tree branch. Next, allow the children to observe the feeding spots and pick three different species to watch over the next few weeks. Don’t worry about the birds’ proper names: “the blue one with the point on his head,” “the little black and white bird,” or “the one that hangs upside down on the pole feeder,” will do just fine. Choose a few favorite birds and encourage the children to draw pictures of them. This is a good way to interest children in honing their skills of perception. Binoculars and cameras are helpful tools for enabling close observation. Don’t rush to the library for a book right away; let young scientists learn to see and record the information first hand. Encourage older children to add a written description below the drawing indicating the bird size, shape, and coloring. Once the drawings and descriptions are in place, encourage them to ask questions about the specific bird species: When do they come? Do they arrive in a flock or alone? Do they eat at the hanging feeder or on the ground? How do they eat? Do they take seed away from the feeder or eat on the spot? Nurturing an appreciation for birds can develop into a lifelong interest in science! What better way to show children that you LOVE them than to spend some time reading a book together!

  • 12. Cariño TTAP Early Childhood Page 12 Observation: The Key to Understanding Your Child by Jarrod Green Young children sometimes behave in challenging or confusing ways. You may occasionally have thoughts like: “Why does she keep pinching her brother’s nose?” “Why does he put his snack in his hair?” “Why does she cry when it’s time to put shoes on?” At first glance, young children’s behaviors can be downright baffling! Preschool teachers are taught that all behavior is communication and we are trained to observe, document, and analyze children’s behavior to understand what they are “telling” us. With a few tips, you too can start observing your child’s behavior like a pro. Looking for patterns Any behavior that occurs over and over is happening for a rea- son. If you can find the pattern in the behavior, you can figure out how to stop it. The first step is simply to write down what happens. At first it feels weird, right after your child puts a gummi bear up his nose, to pull out a pad of paper and write it down. The prob- lem is, our memories are terrible. Simply making a note of what happened can help you see patterns you may not notice otherwise. A few years ago the children in my classroom were getting into too many fights. I didn’t know why, so I started writing the incidents down. At the end of three days I looked at my notes and saw “9:20, fight over Legos; 9:50, fight over Legos; 10:00, fight over Legos...” I didn’t have a problem with fights in my classroom; I had a problem with fights at the Lego table! Once I saw the pattern, I could make a change to improve things. I brought in twice as many Legos and put them at a bigger table. Ninety percent of the fighting stopped right there! Whatever the challenging behavior is, just start writing it down. You might be amazed what you find. The ABCs of behavior To up your game from simple note taking, try what teachers call the “Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence” model—or simp- ly ABC for short. Don’t let the big words put you off. Antecedent just means “what happened right be- fore,” behavior means “what happened,” and consequence means “what happened right after.” Basically, ABC means don’t just write down what happened—write down what hap- pened right before and after too. The antecedent is whatever was going on around your child right before she, say, dumped her milk on the couch—again. Was she getting ready for school? Listen- ing to music? Perhaps it was when you left the room to get her teddy bear or told her to put her shoes on. Simple stuff, right? But such observations can be a gold mine for figuring out what’s causing a behavior. I worked with a family who said their 28-month-old would “start screaming, all the time, for no reason.” But after a few days of writing down the ABCs, the parents realized that their son started screaming only if he was left alone in a room—a pattern they hadn’t noticed before. Armed with this knowledge, they would tell him, “I’m going to go to the bed- room to get a sweater and come right back. Do you want to come with me, or wait here?” Over a few days the screaming all but stopped. The consequence is whatever happened right after the child spread jam on the wall. Did you yell at him, and he cried? Did you send him to his room and when he wouldn’t go, carry him up and close the door? Or did you tell him that’s not okay, help him clean the wall, then read a book together? The conse- quence is often more emotional to write down than the ante- cedent but just as important to finding the pattern. A teacher I know once worked with a child who frequently dumped milk or juice on his clothes at snack and lunch time. Once she started writing down the ABCs, she realized that eve- ry time the child did this, several teachers would rush to his side, talking to him and cleaning him lovingly. The teacher guessed that the behavior was a bid for attention and care in a crowded classroom. She started giving him more attention when he behaved appropriately, and gave only minimal atten- tion when he dumped his juice. The negative behavior disap- peared in a week. Write it down! Some teachers seek graduate degrees just to refine their ob- servational skills, but you’ve got the bones of it right here. When you’re stuck with your child’s challenging behavior, write it down, along with what happened right before and what happened right after. When you see a pattern, you can work on changing it. This method is incredibly simple, but surprisingly tricky—the first time you do it, it’ll feel really weird. But I promise it gets easier and the payoffs can be huge. That teacher you secretly call “the toddler whisperer”? She started off right where you are. With a little observation and a few notes, you’ll start un- derstanding what’s going on in your child’s head—and things will get a little bit easier.

  • 13. Cariño TTAP Early Childhood Page 13 Niños pequeños algunas veces se comportan en maneras desafiantes y confusas. Algunas veces tendrás pensamientos como:  “Por qué ella siempre le esta pellizcando la nariz a su her- manito?”  “Por qué el esta poniéndose su merienda en el cabello?”  “Por qué ella llora cuando es hora de ponerse los zapa- tos?” A primera vista, los comportamientos de los niños pueden ser francamente desconcertantes! Las maestras de prescolar han sido ensenadas de que todos los comportamientos son una manera de comunicación y estamos capacitados para obser- var, documentar, y analizar el comportamiento de los niños para entender que es lo que están “diciéndonos”. Con algunas ideas, tú también puedes empezar a observar el comporta- miento de tu niño como un profesional. Busca por patrones Cualquier comportamiento que ocurre una y otra vez esta su- cediendo por alguna razón. Si tú puedes encontrar el patrón en el comportamiento, tú puedes descifrar como páralo. El primer paso es simplemente escribir lo que está ocurriendo. Al principio se siente extraño, después que tu niño se pone un dulce en su nariz, sacar una libreta de papel y escribirlo. El pro- blema es, nuestra memoria es terrible. Simplemente escribien- do una nota de lo que paso puede ayudarte a ver patrones que tú no hallas notado de otras maneras. Hace unos cuantos años los niños en mi salón de clase se esta- ban metiendo en muchas peleas. Yo no sabía por qué, así que empecé a escribir todos los episodios. Al final de tres días mire mis notas y vi “9:20, pelea por los Legos; 9:50, pelea por los Legos; 10:00, pelea por los Legos…” Yo no tenía problemas con peleas en mi salón de clase; yo tenía un problema con pe- leas en la mesa de Legos! Una vez vi el patrón, pude hacer un cambio para mejorar las cosas. Compre el doble de Legos y los puse en una mesa más grande. Noventa por ciento de las pe- leas pararon ahí mismo! Cualquiera sea el comportamiento desafiante, solo empieza por escribirlo. Tú te sorprenderás con lo que vas a encontrar. El ABC del comportamiento Para mejorar tu juego del simple hecho de tomar notas, inten- ta lo que los educadores llaman el modelo de “Antecedente- Comportamiento (Behavior en Ingles)-Consecuencia” – o sim- plemente el ABC para acortarlo. No dejes que las palabras grandes interfieran. Antecedente únicamente significa “que paso inmediatamente antes,” comportamiento significa “que paso,” y consecuencias significa “que paso inmediatamente después.” Básicamente, ABC significa no solo escribas que paso – escribe que paso inmediatamente antes y también des- pués. El antecedente es cualquier cosa que haya ocurrido alrededor de tu niño antes de que ella, por ejemplo, arrojara la leche en tu sofá – de nuevo. Se estaba alistando para ir a la escuela? Escuchando música? Tal vez fue cuando tú dejaste la habita- ción para traer a su osito o le dijiste que se pusiera los zapatos. Cosas simples, cierto? Sin embargo estas observaciones pue- den ser muy importantes para saber que está causando el comportamiento. Yo trabaje con una familia que dijo que su niño de 28 meses “empezaba a gritar, todo el tiempo, sin ninguna razón.” Pero después de un par de días en el que escribieron sus ABC, los padres se dieron cuenta que su hijo empezaba a gritar solo si se quedaba solo en una habitación – un patrón que ellos no habían notado en el pasado. Armados con este conocimiento, ellos le decían, “Voy a ir a la habitación a traer un saco y ya vuelvo. Quieres venir conmigo, o quedarte acá?” Los gritos pararon casi pararon después de un par de días. La consecuencia es cualquier cosa que ocurrió después de que el niño esparció mermelada en la pared. Le gritaste, y el lloro? Lo enviaste a su cuarto y cuando él se negó, lo cargaste y ce- rraste la puerta? O le dijiste que eso no estaba bien, le ayudas- te a limpiar la pared, y después leíste un libro juntos? La conse- cuencia es más emocional para escribirla que el antecedente pero es tan importante para encontrar el patrón. Sé que un educador trabajo con un niño que frecuentemente regaba su leche o jugo en su ropa a la hora de la merienda. Una vez ella empezó a escribir su ABC, se dio cuenta que cada vez que el niño hizo esto, muchas maestras corrían a su lado, ha- blándole y limpiándolo amorosamente. La educadora creyó que el comportamiento era en busca de atención y cuidado en un salón lleno de niños. Ella empezó a darle atención cuando él se comportaba de manera apropiada, y le daba atención míni- ma cuando regaba su jugo. El comportamiento negativo desa- pareció en una semana. Escríbelo! Algunos educadores buscan por maestrías solo para refinar sus habilidades de observación, pero tú tienes el esqueleto aquí mismo. Cuando te sientas estancado con los comporta- mientos desafiantes de tu niño, escríbelo, con lo que paso in- mediatamente antes y lo que paso inmediatamente después. Cuando ves el patrón, puedes buscar soluciones y cambiar el comportamiento. Este método es increíblemente simple, pero sorprendente- mente difícil – la primera vez que tú lo haces, se sentirá extra- ño. Pero te prometo se convierte mucho más fácil y la recom- pensa es gigante. Esa maestra que tu llamas secretamente “el susurrador de niños”? ella empezó allí donde tu estas. Con un poco de observación y unas cuantas notas, tú empezaras a entender que está sucediendo en la cabeza de tu niño – y las cosas se volverán un poco más fáciles. Observación: La Clave para Entender a tu Niño Por Jarrod Green
  • 14. Page 14 Cariño TTAP Early Childhood Library Section: Preschool Toy Name: Set of Wood Trucks Vehicles that encourage imagination Wooden toys give children the ability to take control. While some wooden toys come in the shape of vehicles, food, or common household items, they still encourage children to use their imaginations to incorporate them into learning and play. For example, children can experiment with physics by building different structures with the wooden toys or learn about geometry by manipulating the toys to create their own geometric patterns. Wooden Toys are Less Distracting When children play with wooden toys, they supply all the voices, alarms, and other sound effects, rather than listening to the toy. This allows children to be in control of what they do with the toys and to keep their minds clear as they think through different scenarios or solve problems. While some children really enjoy toys with all the bells and whistles, the noises and electronic features can interrupt a child’s thinking process or limit how far a child’s imagination can go by boxing them into specific ways to play with the toy. Beyond the simple Vroom! Preschoolers love activities that include playing with all types of transportation items including vehicles such as this truck set. These items are part of their everyday lives. They drive or walk to school, have seen or ridden on a bus or have seen a firetruck zoom through the streets. These are some ideas for educators and parents of how to extend children’s learning with these fantastic items.  Ramp It Up! Show the children how to make ramps for their vehicles. Discuss the distance they go on each ramp. Ask questions to get them thinking such as "I wonder why this car went this far on this ramp but only this far on the other ramp". "I wonder how we can make the car go further? faster? slower?".  DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) Turn your dramatic play area into the DMV!  Stay on the Road! Use chalk to draw roads for the children to pace their wooden trucks and follow directions, know traffic signs and locate places on your “road”. Sección de Biblioteca: Preescolar Nombre de juguete: Juego Camiones de Madera Vehículos que fomentan la imaginación Juguetes de madera les brindan a los niños la habilidad de tomar el control. Mientras algunos juguetes de madera vienen en formas de vehículos, comida, o artículos para el hogar, ellos todavía incentivan a los niños a usar su imaginación e incorporar estos materiales en su juego. Por ejemplo, los niños pueden experimentar con física construyendo diferentes estructuras con los juguetes de madera o aprender acerca de geometría manipulando los juguetes para crear sus propios modelos geométricos. Los juguetes de madera son menos perturbantes Cuando los niños juegan con juguetes de madera, ellos suministran todas las voces, alarmas, y otros efectos de sonido, en vez de escuchar al juguete. Esto permite a los niños a estar en control de lo que hacen con el juguete y para mantener sus mentes claras cuando piensan acerca de los diferentes escenarios y resuelven proble- mas. Mientras algunos niños disfrutan los juguetes con todas las campanas y silbatos, los ruidos y todas las características electrónicas estas pueden interrumpir el proceso de pensamiento de los niños y limitar que tan lejos la imaginación del niño puede ir al encajarlos en formas específicas de como jugar con el juguete. Más allá del simple Burrum! Los niños en prescolar aman las actividades que incluyen jugar con todo tipo de elementos de transportación como este juego de camiones de madera. Estos elementos son parte de su vida diaria. Ellos manejan o caminan a la escuela, han visto o han estado en un bus o han visto un carro de bomberos ir rápido en la calle. Estas son algunas ideas para educadores y padres de familia para como extender el aprendizaje de sus niños con esos elementos:  Crea rampas! Muéstrale a los niños como crear rampas para los vehículos. Discute la distancia de cada rampa. Pregúntales “Por qué este carro fue más lejos en esta rampa pero solo este poco en esta otra”. “Como haríamos al camión ir más lejos? Más rápido? Mas despacio?”.  DMV (Departamento de Vehículos Motorizados) Vuelve to área dramática en un DMV!  Mantente en la Carretera! Usa tiza para dibujar carreteras para que los niños sigan direcciones, conozcan las señales de tránsito y ubiquen lugares en la “carretera”.
