Meeting children where they are means meeting them with kindness and without judgment. A willingness and an effort to understand where someone is emotionally in a particular moment can be very impactful, especially as things change over time. In meeting children where they are, caring adults can develop supportive and caring relationships to help children feel a sense of belonging and feel proud to be themselves.
Your financial support of the Institute helps us expand our initiatives and resources so that educators and children's helpers can continue to learn and grow from Fred Rogers' legacy. Thank you!
