International Early Childhood Field



While diving deep into this topic these past eight weeks of international early childhood field of early childhood development I have gotten a burning desire to do something to help but am limited to just reading about it and having an aching heart for justice. Reading about children not being able to go to school because it is too far away, children who have a chance and are determined to walk to school but it takes them hours to get there. Children who are victims of war and can not go to school because of injury, illness or because they are now the adults of the family because everyone else is dead. Whew!!! These children do not even have a childhood. They are forced into adult situations and circumstances. These are unintentional consequences of learning about the international early childhood field. It can be pretty devastating and overwhelming.

However, learning about the field helps my professional development by gaining knowledge and being better equipped to motivate and encourage parents to do their best with their children. If parents who are less fortunate can be determined in perilous times, so can we. What I have learned over the years is that all parents love their children and want the best for them. It all boils down to how hard are they willing to fight to get the results their children need. All Parents need  is motivation, encouragement and support and they can conquer the world.
