Frederick Douglass famously said, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men," but how do we build strong children?
Katrina Macasaet puts an early childhood education (ECE) lens on what research tells us about how children begin to form their ideas about who they are and the people around them — and how these ideas shape how they look at the world. Review milestones that infants and toddlers reach as they learn about themselves and how they belong, starting with their relationships and discoveries as babies. Hear one parent’s perspective as Lakshmi Hutchinson chats with Katrina about her experience fostering her children's sense of identity at home. Consider together how we can relate to, and build off of, family experiences like Lakshmi’s in early learning environments. Explore ways to create safe and inclusive spaces for babies and toddlers where they can learn about who they are and their growing capacities.
