I really liked Tuesday’s lecture on Young childhood. While the whole thing was interesting, the part I got the most out of was the information on autonomy and letting children do things for themselves and make their own decisions. When I have kids I want to make sure to look at the big picture and not freak out if they want to do something a little differently such as wear mismatching shoes. I’ll try to remember that it is how children learn and express themselves. That is more important for a 4 year old than having them look how society says they should 100% of the time. I will also let them explore and try things on their own. I really like the authoritative approach of giving choices to children within boundaries. That way they can develop autonomy while still remaining safe and healthy. I really hope to apply this information down the road, and share it with others as well.
