I found a video about Vivian Paley that I really liked.

Vivian Gussin Paley says that imagination and play are really important for kids to learn and grow. She also advises on the most important thing teachers can do.

1. "Pretend" often confuses the adult, but it is the child's real and serious world, the stage upon which any identity is possible and secret thoughts can be safely revealed. (From The Boy Who Would Be a Helicopter).

2. Each child wants to know immediately if he is a worthy person in your eyes. You cannot pretend, because the child knows all the things about himself that worry him. If you act like you like him, but ignore the things he is anxious about, it doesn't count. The child is glad you are nice to him, but deep down he figures if you knew what he was like, you'd hate him. So your liking him without knowing him just makes him feel guilty. (From White Teacher).

3. Children are deeply curious about odd behaviors and seldom offended or worried by them. What a remarkable gift to bestow on another person, it occurs to me and is so difficult for adults to accomplish. (From The Kindness of Children).
