Section 7 reminds us of the importance of building caring relationships with children. When adults and children "get to know each other well, they learn to predict each other's signals and behavior and establish attunement and trust." Within a trusting relationship (a secure attachment) children are able to take risks and challenge themselves. When each of us steps outside of our comfort zone, a bit, we provide ourselves the opportunity to learn and grow.
Be the teacher that helps each one of the children in your class form secure attachments and caring relationships. "..set the stage for other future relationships.." and provide the children with the confidence to explore and discover the world around them.
