This video is from Save the Children, the international organization that I have been following for this course (www.savethechildren.org). This documentary is moving. It provides us a glimpse of issues and trends that we have been studying in this course. It also sparks insights on the importance of early childhood education.
Three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field for my professional and personal developmetn are these: self reflection on my work and dedication to the field, changing my professional goals to work more closely with families and children instead of on the sidelines hoping for change, and to reach out internationally for support, ideas and answers in this field.
A significant goal for international awareness is to unite and use the many organizations that have the same goals for the children, specifically bringing education and support to those families and children in poverty.
You made this post some time ago. It has nothing to do with the topic we are currently discussing however, I found the video clip uplifting. I would have never thought to add string to a bell to enhance fine motor skills. 85% of a child's brain has developed by the age of 3. That is very interesting.
