Most educators will experience it at some point. A child looks at you, points out a physical feature, and says something blunt, such as, "Why is your nose so big?" or even, "You're ugly." Learn practical strategies for responding to children who comment on an educator's appearance while building empathy, respect, and positive social skills.

Every week, early childhood educators across Australia perform extraordinary acts that never make the news.

Every child is unique, bringing their own abilities, interests, experiences, and ways of learning into the early childhood environment. When educators intentionally create opportunities for children to experience success, children develop confidence, resilience, self-esteem, and a positive sense of identity. Feeling capable and valued encourages children to take on challenges, persevere through difficulties, and actively engage in learning experiences.
