"I liked how this chapter talks about raising a child's level of play by joining in as play partners with them. In my Pre-K classroom, there are some very specific things we, as adults, do during play to challenge the child in playful way-…"

Jane Leonardo replied to ALYSON CARROLL's discussion Chapter 8- Einstein Never Used Flashlights in the group Somers Point Teachers"Helping to teach children how to handle disappointments and leaning to reframe them into a learning experience and possibly something positive was a very powerful piece of advice for parents. I know how much it hurts us as parents when something…"
Lindsay Francese replied to ALYSON CARROLL's discussion Chapter 8- Einstein Never Used Flashlights in the group Somers Point Teachers"I am constantly regulating my students’ emotions and their reactions to situations. For example a common occurrence in my classroom; a child accidentally hurts another child. This can be a very touchy situation if not handled correctly because…"
Nicole Stanewich replied to ALYSON CARROLL's discussion Chapter 8- Einstein Never Used Flashlights in the group Somers Point Teachers"I think an important idea that this book repeatedly mentions is the importance that homelife is key to success. Since many of our students don't have a strong homelife, it makes our job that much harder.
I had a few students this year who had…"
Susan Dugan replied to ALYSON CARROLL's discussion Chapter 8- Einstein Never Used Flashlights in the group Somers Point Teachers"I found this chapter to be especially interesting because so often the poor behavior we see in a child is learned from the parent. If the child is easily frustrated and immediately reacts by having a melt down, frequently the parent is easily…"

Chapter 8- Einstein Never Used Flashlights
This chapter really highlights what is important in early childhood education.On page 183 the authors state that "Social intelligence does not come for free. It is gained on the "job"- that is, through meaningful interaction with others in life. What children become when they grow up is in large part of a result of the way we interact with them at home, at child care, and at school." This really points to the importance of interacting with children. We were talking about the different sets of…See More
Janet Steever replied to ALYSON CARROLL's discussion Einstein -Chapter 8, Getting to Know You-How Children Develop Social Intelligence"Each chapter has held such good advice and affirmation of what we are already doing. The children we teach at 4-5 years of age are on the cusp of so much self awareness, social development. Communication, discussions, and strong relationships…"

ALYSON CARROLL replied to Susan Dugan's discussion Chapter 7: Who Am I in the group Somers Point Teachers"I agree with you Susan- that the ability to regulate one's emotions is such an important thing to learn in early childhood. When a child has difficulty with this it seems to pervade thier abilities to learn and have positive social emotional…"
ALYSON CARROLL replied to Kristie Leonard's discussion Einstein Never Used Flash Cards Ch 6 The Quest to Define Intelligence in the group Somers Point Teachers"The book states something in this chapter that we all know- the strong correlation between language/vocabulary and intelligence. In early childhood, especially preschool, what better way is there to asses a child’s language development than…"
ALYSON CARROLL replied to Nicole Medvedik's discussion Chapter 5: Einstein Never Used Flash Cards in the group Somers Point Teachers"Lindsey- I like your idea that we suggest this book at Pre-K orientation. I like how this chapter puts emphasis on the simple things that are important aspects of helping children to become readers, such as: making reading fun, reading aloud to…"
ALYSON CARROLL replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"I love this chapter of the book. It is especially interesting to me because I am working with young children who have difficulties/delays with language and communication. I like the part of this chapter where the authors talk about the number of…"
ALYSON CARROLL replied to Jane Leonardo's discussion Einstein Never Used Flashcards...Chapter 3. Playing with numbers, How children learn about Quantity in the group Somers Point Teachers"I agree with this chapter's idea that for young children play activities involving manipulatives are the best way to facilitate the development of quantity and number concepts. When we have "dinner" in the kitchen area in my pre-k…"
ALYSON CARROLL replied to Susan Dugan's discussion Einstein Didn't Use Flashcards in the group Somers Point Teachers"I too agree that this book would be a great read for parents & have suggested it and other literature on child development to my parents. I feel that parents don't always fully understand the importance of play. At home, it seems to be (for…"
