Alexandra, a child who touched my heart
One year, I had a child in my preschool class named Alexandra. He was a special needs child that was shown love while in my class. During the school year, Alexandra learned how to control his emotions when he got upset about things. One thing that really touched my heart was that at nap time, he would pat his cot with his hand to let me know that he wanted me to lay down with him on his cot. He made a lot of improvement during the school year and was a very sweet and loving child.

Dear Crystal,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that amazing story with us. Part of the reason am sure Alexandra was able to improve was the fact that you gave him attention and made him understand that he was loved and considered as important as the rest of the children.
That I believe is what all children need: to be understood by adults and given all the attention they need so that they do not have to look for it from wrong people that could harm them
