Convincing Others

[skippy]

At presant we have topics in which we plan BUT how can i persuade others that we should be incorporating the childrens interests? What would be a good starting point? I can remember reading a post here that talks about the subject of not using topics and incorporating childrens interests but can not find it. Skippy

I use a child's interests much of the time, especailly if it is related to a child where concentration is an area they struggle with. This way they sutain concentration for longer as it is of particular interest to them

I try and enocurage settings to plan for individual children's needs and the next stage in their development.
