Monthly Musings - November 2024

November 13, 2024

In response to being asked about how to go deeper with one’s practice with children, we offer these monthly musings as invitations for you. You might take the invitation up

  • as an individual or with your team.
  • at monthly staff meetings.
  • to provoke conversations when feeling stuck.

The opportunities are endless.

We will pose these musings monthly but use them as you feel moved to. You might spend more than a month with one question. Or you might revisit a question at a later time. Each time you visit or revisit a question, new possibilities emerge.

I/ we are Caring (children)

Caring is a common experience that grows out of everyday relationships and interactions. Children learn how to care by being cared for. Think about how you carry out acts of caring toward children and how they, in turn, enact caring for themselves, others, and the world. How do these interactions promote a caring community that facilitates belongingness?
