New article: Every Child is Different!

[Helen]

Pointing you to an excellent article by Rory McDowell Clark, looking at the individual and diverse ways that children learn. Rory begins:

"All of us are different in countless ways, priding ourselves on our individuality and unique character. It should be self-evident that the same is true of young children. Yet for many years an underlying concept underpinning child development has been that of socialisation; the idea that childhood is the period when children are shaped and moulded to 'fit' into society and conform to social norms and expectations."
