No, my definition hasn't changed after the activity. In fact it's become more stronger to believe in my understanding of having a connection with the child. ]]> 2021-06-16 09:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609632912 https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609632960 To make a child comfortable around you. Understand the background they come from. Built trust. Making connection is a gradual process. It varies from child to child. ]]> 2021-06-16 09:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609632960 https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609632993 Connect means to step into their world. and that can happen when they feel comfortable with us and feel reassured that we will not judge, reprimand or condescend.
I have somehow always treated children as just another 'human' no less or more than any other human of any age. Todays activity has realigned and reinforced my belief]]> 2021-06-16 09:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609632993 https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609633027 Connecting with a child is so much more different than with an adult. they do not judge you, are quick to forgive and they do not waste time on small formal talks. YES, my beliefs about connecting with a child has been impacted a lot while doing the activity. ]]> 2021-06-16 09:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609633027 https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609633466 It means to be in state where there are no inhibitions or biases so that you could do your best in comprehending what the child wants to say. 
My definition hasn't changed but i felt that I had a hard time to be in that state of mind because the kids didn't open much :(

It is not limited to one person. It works as a partnership between both the child and teacher. ]]> 2021-06-16 09:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609635542 https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609635562 You learn more about others by listening to what they want to say and not by asking them what you want to know about them.

We need to give them them the space to be able to communicate and at the same time we need to give space to the inner child in us too ]]> 2021-06-16 09:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609639248 https://padlet.com/freyaray/aicyim6to9b7fh7c/wish/1609639520 It connects because it teaches us that it is important to be in a place where you can understand children before you try to communicate/connect with them. Also, makes us realise that childhood isn't always joyful as it is supposed to be and that it is important that we acknowledge this fact.
