Diversity
After reading the article Responding to Linguistic and Cultural Diversity Recommendations for Effective Early Childhood Education, I feel that the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has the right idea on their stance toward accepting, respecting, valuing, promoting and encouraging the use of the home language and culture in the classroom. Being bilingual is an asset not a handicap.Children become self-confident and learn better when their family life is connected with school.

I couldn't agree with you more! I hope that my classroom someday reflects all and encompasses these as assets. Respecting and valuing students are two of the most important things to me, as a teacher and as a mother. I believe that we have the ability to boost self-esteem if we just have unconditional acceptance for our kids - biological or not.
