A New View of Toddlers
October 12, 2011
When we deny children play, we are denying them the right to understand the world.
-Erika Christakis, educator and writer

"When toddlers are engaged in typical behaviors, i.e., climbing on tables, running away, grabbing a toy, screaming in objection to something asked of them, how could we meet up with their minds, rather than focus on their behaviors? A mindset of curiosity rather than compliance can begin to transform our responses. Seeking the child’s point of view, wondering what is on his or her mind, offers us new possibilities. Perhaps we’ll see a child wanting a connection with another child, rather than aggressive behavior; an eager explorer, rather than an impatient child; a person longing for some power, a sense of agency, rather than a defiant or mischievous two year old."

I want to respond to the quote regarding the difference between failure and success. Unfortunately, the problem I encounter is the paralyzed perfectionist who devotes so much time ande energy getting something "exactly right" that the need for the product or service has disappeared while waiting for perfection. Give me "almost right" every time over exactly right. We'll be relaxing in the bar with a cold beer while "exactly right" is figuring out whether to cross the i or dot the t.
