Preschoolers

This morning I volunteered for an organization called MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). I had such a blast taking care of those children! I was in the room taking care of the 3-year-olds. But we had a 2-year-old in the room too because he didn't want to be away from his older brother. It was so cool to watch how the older brother took care of his little brother. At snack-time he didn't want to eat until he saw that his baby brother got food too. He kept smiling and encouraging him to interact with the other children. The 2-year-old has a secure attachment with his mother. When his mother was in the room he was happy to walk around and play with all the toys, but when she left he would run to the door and cry. I showed him a toy car and got him to start playing. He evntually turned back into a happy little boy. As soon as his mother came back he ran to her. Its really amazing to see the theories we learn about in class come to life.
