using theories

 Reflect on what you know and are learning about different childhood development theories and the concept of the whole child from your readings to discern how these theories guide what we do as early educators.

In your initial post, discuss your thoughts about how educators impact children’s healthy development and self-esteem using their knowledge and understandings about how children learn and grow.

In your reply post, offer thoughtful and constructive feedback, ask further questions, or offer an example that illustrates a different perspective on the topic.
