It is mind boggling to me that something so...easy to understand can have drastic long-term effects if not considered. I mean, when they are that young they just soak up information like little human sponges; it is the most crucial time to build who YOU are. (as a teenager I attest to this and reject the notion that high school/ college is the time when you "build your character" because I am already built I just need to reorganize my blocks so that they conform to the norms placed on growing adults.) 
Children are human too, they may seem like a completely separate species because of their foreign language and hypnotic smiles but they too feel the need to have some room to breath whether they realize that or not.
 If someone walks you step by step through a phrase in another language it will feel like it was their accomplishment(assisted zone of development). If you are given another phrase and are told "to have at it" you won't have a clue about how to translate it/understand it without understanding the subject matter(Independent zone). So a happy medium would be a basic set of instructions that doesn't solve the issue and allows room for self-growth in independent thinking (proximal zone of development). 

Ironically enough to develop a sense of independence you have to rely on others to nurture it which kind of makes it feel...null? Like if you hit a ball with a ball do they cancel out? ]]> 2017-04-11 02:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/vygotsky/wish/165802199 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/vygotsky/wish/165803563 This is a real life child caught on camera, scientists are skeptical.]]> 2017-04-11 02:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/vygotsky/wish/165803563 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/vygotsky/wish/165803797 2017-04-11 02:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/vygotsky/wish/165803797 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/vygotsky/wish/165804219 2017-04-11 03:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/vygotsky/wish/165804219
