Direct linkKruse, Tricia – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
According to national figures, 37.1 million people moved in 2009 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010). In fact, the average American will move 11.7 times in their lifetime. Why are Americans moving so much? There are a variety of reasons. Regardless of the reason, moving is a common experience for children. If one looks at the developmental characteristics…

Jones, Elizabeth – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
What's a risk? It's when one doesn't know what will happen when she/he takes action. Risks can be little or big, calculated or stupid. Every new idea carries risks--and the challenge to face them and see what will happen. Nobody becomes smart, creative, self-confident, and respectful of others without taking risks--remaining open to possibilities…

Neugebauer, Roger – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012

McGinnis, Michelle H.; Getskow, Veronica; Dicker, Brian S. – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
Potentially difficult and dangerous situations can arise when an early childhood program is faced with parental rights and child custody issues. This is particularly true when the parents are engaged in a fight. Nothing is as visceral as the fight over a child, and even the best of people can become deceitful or quite villainous. School owners…

Elkind, David – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
As defined by psychologists, learning is "the modification of behavior as the result of experience." The problem with this definition is that it leaves the term "experience" undefined. The major contributors to early childhood education theory and practice each had his or her own conception of the process of acquiring knowledge. The philosophers…

Gross, Steve; Sanderson, Rebecca Cornelli – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
Historically, play has been viewed as a frivolous break from important endeavors like working and learning when, in fact, a child's ability to fully and freely engage in play is essential to their learning, productivity, and overall development. A natural drive to play is universal across all young mammals. Children from every society on earth…

Mabry, M. Parker – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
Recently, the author got to thinking about some of the ideas that have crossed her mind in the last couple of weeks. The list made her smile. And as she went over it point by point in her head she tried to determine what, if any, reasonable or logical patterns were emerging in her myriad of ideas. The four divergent ideas presented in this article…

MacDonald, Beth – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
According to the author, when Bonnie and Roger Neugebauer honored their school by asking them to be on the cover of "Exchange," she remembered the conferences she had attended over the years when she was a new director. Her favorite was the Child Care Directors conference in 1989, which was held on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Not only…

Morgan, Gwen; Mitchell, Anne – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
Ideas are not one-time "Eureka" moments, but are parts of concepts progressing forward. Sometimes years pass before ideas are implemented. They then resurface, connect with other ideas, and move policies ahead. Meanwhile, the idea remains alive in the field, influencing decisions and goals. Ideas build on one another when implemented. The field of…

Sciaraffa, Mary – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
Is it the teacher's job to assist children in developing a healthy sexual identity in early childhood? A healthy sexual identity is developed over the course of a lifetime through the "process of acquiring information and forming attitudes, beliefs, and values about such important topics as identity, relationships, and intimacy." Teachers may feel…

Belz, Paul – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
Imagine what a child can learn by slithering across the ground like a worm or snail! Children learn many things from their connections with beautiful living things such as flowers and rabbits. Many adults are surprised when young scientists identify with "yucky" animals and plants. A child who connects with creatures ranging from the cuddly to the…

Duncan, Sandra – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2011
Like professional photographers, early childhood teachers can reframe their perspectives to create innovative and inspiring spaces for young children by concentrating on reframing two design elements: color and texture. When thinking about designing spaces for young children, one of the first considerations is the equipment and its arrangement.…

Duncan, Sandra; Salcedo, Michelle – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
Imagine that a teacher and her class are standing in the middle of Times Square, in the heart of New York City. If they were standing there together, they would probably describe the dazzling and sometimes blinking lights, the myriad of bright colors, the vast crowds, the towering buildings, the ever-present sounds, and perhaps some interesting…

Curtis, Deb – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
Seeing children--noticing the details of their actions and words and seeking their perspective to catch a glimpse of how they experience the world--brings joy and deeper understanding to the author's work and life. Over the years she has cultivated the practice of slowing down and observing closely to see the child's point of view. She has…

Rosenow, Nancy – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2012
The author thought about the kinds of things adults unwittingly convey to children every day. If children can sense the strong and (mostly) positive relationships among staff members on their team, then it's just as likely they can sense when there's tension and unease. And, when human beings work together, there will inevitably be times when…
