Brainstorming

The Early Childhood field is an important area of study. It takes us into the foundations of learning and development of the whole person and who they become. These are critical areas of studies that have been taken for granted by many who, if they were educated in this discipline, would have change the course of life

Hi there everyone,
Sometimes things that are so simple can become so difficult, depending sometimes on one's mindset or the purpose of the task. Our capabilities are sometimes challenged by the expectations of our audience. We always feel the need to present ourselves as,smart, fearless and confident. That is a reasonable mind set, however, I think that we should start out as a learner to truly find our place. When we have found our place, then we will surely amaze ourselves of the awesomeness we possess.
