Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn.

Profile Information
- What inspires you about the Reggio Emilia Approach?
- The image of the child as competent and strong. The idea of the environment (classroom) as a third teacher; and that children work with teachers as "co-researchers" in a largely project-based approach to learning.
- About Me:
- I am currently working on my M. Ed. focusing on technology in schools. I have taught as a French Immersion teacher and prior to that as an Early childhood Educator.
I am also enjoying quality time with my daughter at home.

- Hi Bernadette,
You're right - mindfulness is being there fully with the children, notice and hear what they say, see what they do; be there 100%.
I would like to get hold of that book you mentioned,

- Hi Bernadette,
Sorry for the very belated reply. This is my first year at a kindy - I too used to be a language teacher, teaching German in schools.
My aim is to bring mindfulness into the program: at the moment we have a daily yoga practice, with breathing, litening to sounds, etc. I am not sure whether this is "Reggio" style, but the motivation behind these things is to see children as competent and capable. Awareness is a skill that I will need to work on, to notice and recognise children's direction,focus and motivation. I guess that ties in with mindfulness too. Does it makes sense?
What is your understanding about mindfulness? What is your practice like? Where do you thing your focus is?
Thanks and take care,
Viki

- If your time is being spent watching her grow, you are using it well. I always found the paradox of parenthood to be how long the days were and how short the years were.
