Mutual Respect

Next Previous

Mutual respect and tolerance are core elements of the early years. This helps young people to learn to value differences build empathy and form positive social relationships. We encourage children to listen when their parents speak to them and consider feelings that differ from their own. We like to share diversity, explore different cultural holidays, traditions, and family structures through books, stories and role-play.

We have been celebrating Diwali, Remembrance Day and Bonfire Night in our setting this week. We have linked cultural traditions with personal, social, and emotional development, sensory exploration and community. The children have listened, watched, created, shared experiences and remembered those who were brave in a very hands on week of learning.
