However, it\u2019s also true that some possess better sensitivities to give the right help when it comes to loving and caring for our family and friends with special needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6-year-old Megan Tan is one such special soul. She not only helps her classmates with homework, but encourages slower classmates and assists her teachers to make sure that no one is left behind. She does it with such ease and does it without realising she is helping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just like to help people,\u201d Megan says, when asked why she helps others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodstart.sg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Little Heroes of Inclusion Award <\/a>which was presented to her during the Early Childhood Intervention Conference 2022 on 9 September, for demonstrating constant care and support to Love (name has been changed), a classmate with special needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award, given out by advocacy group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodstart.sg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Good Start SG<\/a>,&nbsp;is a symbol of recognition and appreciation to preschool children who have shown exemplary care and support to their peers with learning or developmental needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG-20220909-WA0003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG-20220909-WA0003.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG-20220909-WA0003-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG-20220909-WA0003-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG-20220909-WA0003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG-20220909-WA0003-800x450.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Megan receiving the Little Heroes of Inclusion award with her teacher Ms Chia Xin Pei<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>English Teacher at St. James\u2019 Church Kindergarten (Leedon) Ms Chia Xin Pei, who teaches both Megan and Love, says: \u201cWhen a teacher told me (about the award) and asked if I had someone to nominate, I thought of Megan straight away. Because she has been helpful to her friends, not just Love, and she doesn\u2019t know she is helping, she just does it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking out for her friends<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xin Pei says: \u201cMegan is very attentive to the needs of her friends. She will respond quickly even before I ask. She\u2019s very responsible as well. I asked her once to keep a lookout for Love, and after that she would naturally do it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love, who is in the same K2 class as Megan, has trouble with social interactions as well as expressing her needs and wants.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although some of the things Love says may seem out of the blue, Megan is able to respond to Love&#8217;s questions and comments. At times, she helps to interpret what Love is trying to express, Xin Pei says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31-260x195.jpg 260w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-31.jpg 1073w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Megan (second row, second from left) with her classmates and English teacher Xin Pei (first row, far left)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce, in a big group setting, Love referred to an oven (inside the classroom). Although it was out of context, Megan was able to understand what Love was trying to say and helped everyone to understand Love\u2019s question,\u201d Xin Pei explains.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>\u201cAnother time during a baking session in class, the children worked in groups to make the cookie dough. Megan offered Love the spatula for mixing so that she had her turn to participate. Megan held on to the mixing bowl while Love did the stirring.

Not only is she attentive to the classroom instructions, she goes the extra mile to make sure that Love is following them. In play or group work, she usually allows Love to go first.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Accepting flaws and imperfections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan acknowledges the strengths of Love and chooses to see the good in her.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a class discussion, Megan shared with everyone that Love has a very good memory, explaining that she can remember stories very well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, Megan is also a forgiving friend, Xin Pei says. Once, during group work, Megan took the initiative to tell her peers that it is okay that Love made a mess, because she did not do it intentionally.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>On written tasks, Megan understands that Love writes better within a box. She has gently reminded Love to write her words smaller so that it will fit in the box.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-260x195.jpg 260w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_20220827_172923_527-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Megan drawing with her classmates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At times, Love struggles with using the eraser. Without saying anything, Megan sometimes naturally assumes the role of a supporter to help Love with the task.

For example, Love likes to do things herself and doesn\u2019t accept people\u2019s help readily. But because of their friendship, she is open and accepting of Megan\u2019s help.
