In this episode, I continue the discussion into why circle time, and most other large group activities, just doesn't serve us in the way we would hope.

Spoiler alert! It has to do with children's interest...

And as always, after we admire the problem for a bit, I offer a number of suggestions on how to make activities and experiences, like circle time, optimal for learning, including:

  1. Offering activities as a child's choice
  2. Establishing and creating curiosity to you (C2U™)
  3. Engaging in attuned communication and interactions
  4. Differentiating what is being taught and basing the what on children's interests
