The Inspire Philosophy: Watch, Wait and Listen

Have you ever watched a child, truly observed them play without inserting yourself? As adults, it’s a natural instinct to want to be part of a child’s process, as we are a vital part of their development and support in all areas of their lives.

Sometimes, though, you’re not needed. And although that can be hard to process, we need to give children time, space and the independence to learn on their own.

Make mistakes, experience new things, triumph on their own. Give them the choice to involve you instead of jumping in straight away.

Children can feel the pressure when you ask them questions about what they are doing and as an adults, our curiosity into the minds of our children is almost as abundant as their own. It’s important to take the pressure off of them sometimes, to allow them to talk freely and naturally without having their thought process be interrupted with a question.

Give it a try. Oh, the conversations you will hear!This is how we do things, but there is no right or wrong way to approach the topic of tech. Life is all about balance, how do you find yours? #theinspirephilosophyAs an eco nursery in Dubai who has been established in Jumeirah for the last 30 years, we are honored to welcome the next generation of students into the Kid’s Island Nursery in Jumeirah family and it is rewarding to hear parents say “I remember what it felt like when I experienced this at the nursery for the first time”.
