As educators I often wonder how we teach and convey ideas to our kids. However small or mundane, what we convey to our kids, families, and friends can have an impact.
Exhibit A: This morning presented the idea of "weather." It snowed lightly as I headed out to my train to work.
Me to neighbor, Phyllis: "Good morning and Happy New Year, Phyllis!"
Phyllis: "Ugh. This weather is awful." [I kid not, that was her actual reply.]
Mother and young six-year-old-looking child walking on sidewalk:
Mother watches child carefully, uses right arm to shield child's head, uses other arm to tie scarf tightly around her neck, and burrows her brow.
Child escapes mother's guarding arms, runs toward the falling snow, and sticks tongue out.
