    Most of the kids by the first five minutes of this observational period finished and cleaned up their table. Seeing such a drastic that seems to come from about 4 to 6 is amazing, unlike the preschoolers and toddlers the middle childhood kids have begun to take on more responsibility for their actions and are actually able to contribute to the world around them. For example, one of the kids needed a napkin, and rather than just asking a caregiver to get it, they got up and retrieved the napkin. Understandably, this is nothing special and in all honesty I may be finding such meaningless task a bit too exciting, but simply put, the change that can be noticed each age group and with such a large change from the preschoolers observed before it is just amazing to think about how much…

    At first glance, toddlers and teens appear to be worlds apart. The obvious differences appear to be vast in their ages, sizes, and life experiences. The not-so-obvious similarities between toddlers and teens exist in their curiosity through self-expression, fit throwing, and acting unlovable, when they need love the most.

It can be traced to stories and songs which were part of the oral tradition that adults shared with their children before the advent of publication.

Many of the children books acknowledged today as classics can trace their origins to the late 19th and early 20th centuries which become known as the Golden Age of children literature.…
