September 23, 2022 #76: Intrinsic Motivation
This episode talks about building intrinsic motivation in children in Early Childhood Education to help them become individuals with the inner drive that propels them to pursue an activity without an external reward because the action itself is enjoyable. There are so many benefits to being intrinsically motivated and if we can support children on that journey, we are giving them the gift of a lifetime.

September 09, 2022 #75: Welcome Traditions
How a child feels when they enter a child care program sets the course for their sense of belonging, engagement, expression and well-being. Having a welcome tradition sends a message that today is a new day and that they are welcome. A welcome tradition is predictable so a child feels a sense of purpose upon arriving at your program and knows what the first thing is that they do. Join Carla Ward in episode 75 where she shares some welcome tradition ideas.

Block play is one of the most overlooked but most valuable teaching tools in a classroom. I’m talking open-ended, no restrictions block play. Blocks are open-ended and they really encourage the creativeness that children have and allows their imagination to come out in a very physical way.
