When you see your friend\u2019s child already running when yours is still crawling? Do you feel anxious when you see other children eat well and your child still refuses to eat vegetables at 4 years old? Do you wish that your little one was less clingy at the playgrounds so you can just take a breather?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are not alone. Many parents compare their kids to others, wondering why they aren\u2019t thriving in specific areas. The truth is that no two children are the same. Every child is different \u2013 a phrase parents may hear often in their children&#8217;s growing up years. Even siblings develop differently, have different personalities, interests and strengths, and require different kinds of support to meet their physical, social and emotional needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our young children have abundant potential for growth when nurtured in a caring and supportive environment and it is important to recognise each child\u2019s unique design to help them discover their identity and purpose in life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children can thrive when we, parents and teachers, can provide a positive, safe and secure environment where they are respected and free to express themselves. This serves as the foundation for meaningful and differentiated learning to happen each day.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can we celebrate each child\u2019s unique strengths, interests and learning styles?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. &nbsp;Observe their natural inclinations from young<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517-1024x710.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517-1024x710.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517-1536x1065.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517-380x263.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517-800x555.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517-1160x804.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_Birthdays_Kairos_1122-scaled-e1676943241517.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Anglican Preschool Services<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While babies and infants below 18 months are not yet involved in traditional classroom learning, they are picking up various skills very quickly.

At that age they are attracted to sensorial experiences like sounds and textures. The teachers \u2013 in the time that we spend with them, whether we are changing their diapers or putting them to sleep \u2013 observe what captures their interest. It could be as simple as a ray of light shining through the window.&nbsp; Or the sound of footsteps of a teacher coming into the room.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough this close relationship the teachers have with the babies, we try to extend their interest and learning through what we do every day. For example, our teachers started to bring in more light sources to allow the babies to see the light from different angles.&nbsp;We saw that they were interested and engaged in the activity and there was some thought process going on.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hermes adds that if the teachers notice that a baby is inclined to something they will communicate it to the parents so they can give them more exposure at home. This helps parents encourage their babies to explore what they are interested in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_NewChildren_WenZhePlaysWithMyllie_151122-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_NewChildren_WenZhePlaysWithMyllie_151122-773x1024.jpg 773w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_NewChildren_WenZhePlaysWithMyllie_151122-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_NewChildren_WenZhePlaysWithMyllie_151122-768x1017.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_NewChildren_WenZhePlaysWithMyllie_151122-380x503.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_NewChildren_WenZhePlaysWithMyllie_151122-800x1059.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_NewChildren_WenZhePlaysWithMyllie_151122.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our older infant care children treating the younger ones with interest, yet gentleness and care!&nbsp; Photo by Anglican Preschool Services<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How do we cater to each baby\u2019s unique personality and temperaments?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hermes says: \u201cWe are conscious about respecting their temperaments and we don\u2019t force them to participate in an activity if they don\u2019t want to. We try to find a way to engage them. For example, when we introduced a ball pit to the babies, we noticed there were children who jumped in immediately.

There are others who will take a ball to another corner in the room and put the ball in a container.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"787\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5044\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_WenZheGraduating_1222-787x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_WenZheGraduating_1222-787x1024.jpg 787w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_WenZheGraduating_1222-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_WenZheGraduating_1222-768x1000.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_WenZheGraduating_1222-380x495.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_WenZheGraduating_1222-800x1041.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-NA_WenZheGraduating_1222.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5045\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MicrosoftTeams-image-84-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MicrosoftTeams-image-84-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MicrosoftTeams-image-84-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MicrosoftTeams-image-84-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MicrosoftTeams-image-84-380x507.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MicrosoftTeams-image-84-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MicrosoftTeams-image-84-1160x1547.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MicrosoftTeams-image-84.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Diverse ways of playing in a ball pit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We encourage diverse ways of playing.

This could involve simple actions such as getting the pencil tray or passing the book to the teacher.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have seen that even the quieter ones look forward to be a leader and also the more vocal ones learn how to exercise their leadership.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Encourage them to build lasting friendships<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meaningful friendships are important as they shape our childrens\u2019 identity and personality from a young age. Friendships are especially vital for a child\u2019s development as they learn valuable social skills through their interactions with friends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs they acquire friendships at playgroup level, they enjoy the company of friends. Friendships makes meaning to them at the later stage, as they enter nursery and kindergarten,\u201d says Ms Liana Neo, Centre Leader at <a href=\"https:\/\/littleseeds.edu.sg\/lsp-tsa-tampines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Little Seeds Preschool (TSA &#8211; Tampines)<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFriends make a difference. Some children come to school because they want to see their friends. Some extend their friendships by going for playdates. We want to cultivate friendships not only in school but outside school as well.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does friendship mean to you?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This question was posed to our children at Little Seeds Preschool (TSA &#8211; Tampines) who all had different interpretations of what friendship means to them. To some of the children, it is the companionship they have with one other. To others, remembering to show the values they had learnt in school to each other plays a part in the friendships formed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what the children have to say about friendship:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-21 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"5033\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-TAM-Friendship-That-Last-Shaia-091222-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-TAM-Friendship-That-Last-Shaia-091222-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-TAM-Friendship-That-Last-Shaia-091222-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-TAM-Friendship-That-Last-Shaia-091222-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-TAM-Friendship-That-Last-Shaia-091222-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-TAM-Friendship-That-Last-Shaia-091222-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSP-TAM-Friendship-That-Last-Shaia-091222.jpg 1073w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cFriendship is having someone to play with.

This allows us to understand and love them for who they are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a simple story in the voice of a K2 child at Little Seeds Preschool (Kiddy Ark) that shares the joys and fears as they journey through their preschool years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8e1212\"><em>We played all day. But our play entailed loads of learning of social skills, motor skills and general knowledge which helped me connect my brain synapses. I was making sense of the world around me. Everything was worth exploring and my teachers fed me with new information every day. I did not understand a lot of things and sometimes, I cried because adults did not understand me.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8e1212\"><em>I am learning.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8e1212\"><em>True to our age, we love exploring and nothing is impossible. We began to build self-awareness and to understand our own needs better.&nbsp; We began to understand routine &#8211; why we needed to eat, to sit down properly during lessons.&nbsp; We had so much fun exercising, exploring our community and learning in class. Sometimes I did things which were not too nice and was seated at the reflection corner. I was mad and sad.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8e1212\"><em>I am still learning<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8e1212\"><em>The day had finally come where we put on our mortar board and wore our graduation gowns. We received our scrolls and did a dance or two. We had fun practising for the whole event. Many times we could not get our positions and steps coordinated and my teachers had to take deep breaths.
