Colibrii Child Academy
As a teacher working with various learning strategies, I have seen firsthand the importance of both activities and experiences in child development. While both are valuable, I prefer experiences. Through conversations with children, I've noticed that those exposed to more experiences provide deeper responses, demonstrating their capacity, critical thinking, and autonomy. This approach not only enriches learning but also fosters an innate desire to learn more.
These are specific tasks like painting or solving puzzles, guided by adults and with clear objectives. While they are useful for developing specific skills, their impact is usually short-term.
On the other hand, offer a more holistic and immersive approach, such as exploring a park, participating in a group project, or playing with light and shadows. These experiences allow for greater autonomy and have a lasting impact, stimulating multiple senses and areas of growth.
For comprehensive development, it's crucial to balance both approaches. Activities teach specific skills and provide immediate feedback, while experiences promote deep, continuous learning. Integrating a combination of both into children’s routines maximizes their growth and well-being.
