I read this quote regarding our day to day lives and our work. But I think it really applies to teaching preschoolers. Too often we get caught up in what we are trying to teach or communicate or do. Or we get focused on what we want to help children build or discover for their future lives. We forget to focus no the now, to be present in the moment and truly experience that moment with children.
Who they are and who you are will not be the same later in the day or tomorrow. The moment will be different - not necessarily better or worse but different. Experience each moment fully without getting hung up on what's next.
