Presenter: Richard Cohen
In this session we will answer the
question "what's love got to do with
teaching early childhood?" by
discussing the concepts of the Five
Love Languages of Children by Gary
Chapman, I Love You Rituals by Becky
Bailey and Have You Filled a Bucket
Today? by Carol McCloud. With a
brief introduction of each author's
concept, participants will look at how
these ideas impact children's
development and learning, as well as
classroom interactions, relationships
with families and relationships with co-
workers. Participants will take back
ideas on how to implement each of
these concepts in their classroom.
