CHCIC301D Collaborating with children about their interests
Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:23 pm
Can someone help me answer this please - Why is it important for children to be able to express their ideas in a variety of contexts?
When a child expresses their own ideas and feelings to make something which is original, for e.g. a picture, a play dough sculpture, a house out of blocks etc, this enables the child to express feelings and ideas more easily than by using words. Not all children are able to communicate their ideas through verbal methods and by providing opportunities for children to express their ideas in a variety of contexts, a child will discover different ways of expressing themselves. This could be through music and movement, dramatic play, art etc...
