Every parent is an early childhood educator
Childhood begins from the period an infant is born to when the child is eight years old.
Early childhood education, on the other hand, is the formal education given to children from age three (3) months to eight years.
It is called the foundation stage, wherein the child’s brain is highly sensitive to his or environment.
It involves cognitive, affective, and psychomotor, and they all have to do with attitude, feelings, and emotions of a child.
So you see why every parent is, by nature and circumstance, an early child educator.
As an early childhood educator, here are your roles:
*Love your children equally. It develops emotional intelligence and self-confidence.
*Build them up spiritually, teach them your belief.
*Use daily activities to teach them morals as much as you can. Your child’s teacher may not have time for that.
*Build a relationship, allow mistakes and correct them.
*Tell your children stories, don’t pretend to know everything, discuss and hold it long and you will be shocked at what they know.
*Do house chores together with your children, set time limit for each chore — time management.
