What Makes Me A Me?

Product Information

What Makes Me a Me?” immediately pulls the reader in with its cute beanie-hatted be-spectacled character and the tactile title in glittery letters. This is basically a story about identity, in which the character compares himself to a range of animals, inanimate objects and even the naughty boy next door, concluding that, whilst there are some similarities, he is nothing like any of these and that “everybody’s different in their own special way”. In a diverse world it is good to recognise and celebrate uniqueness, and this book would make a good starting point for discussions with children about similarities and differences in race and culture. Yes, thank you. Dave and his crew are setting off on a long voyage. It's a tough voyage, with many storms and mishaps. And it gets really quite hard to keep the ship sailing and stop bits of it falling into the water. Every time the ship is damaged, Dave takes the Theseus to George's ship yard. And George replaces the broken' Since completing my last book review for Tes, I have moved schools and begun a new autumn term with nearly 60 early years foundation stage (EYFS) children. Stories and picture books always play a key part in an EYFS classroom, so the Ladybird and Bumblebee classes were very excited to get the chance to give their thoughts on What Makes Me a Me?

This research sought to understand whether the evidence from the literature conceptualises and operationalises each capacity from a mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual perspective. The main character looks a similar age to the children in my class, so his picture on the front cover meant they could connect with the book immediately. The character and colourful text makes it an eye-catching choice, causing Noah to comment on the sparkly letters on the cover. Children’s levels of empathy significantly affect their social functioning, such as prosocial behaviours, bullying, and quality of relationships with parents and peers.

Who's been really missing Dave a great deal, is surprised. She wants to know why he's got a new ship.' Move the discussion on from the Theseus to a more general consideration of identity and change.

Core capacities are an attempt to identify the foundations of human ability to relate with oneself, others, and the environment, often the focus of the life skills literature (e.g. negotiation skills, communication skills, problem-solving skills). By attempting to identify abilities that are ‘elementary’ (or non-divisible) the core capacities in the L4WB Framework offer a new way of conceptualising skills development without seeking to replace existing life skills models – complementing the same ambitions – whilst also offering a point of consensus across various life skills models. The framework also views these capacities as fundamentally human skills, which are held in varying degrees and expressed differently by each individual (children and adults), that this uniqueness is valuable, and that public systems including education systems, should both promote the development of these skills, and protect these skills from being ‘taught out’ of children. The purpose of the work is to assess how core capacities can improve the lives of children, and to understand the ways in which education systems and broader social systems can protect and promote these abilities. This project builds on the existing evidence base to better understand how children’s personal attributes (age and gender), and the world around the child, can promote the use of core capacities for benefit of child well-being and to improve policies and practices for child development.

Of course, you'll only want to say this if you have a positive example to reinforce the importance of failure in the workplace. The theme of the story is ideal for the start of term with any infant-aged class. The question “What makes me a me?” is posed. Then many similarities to other children, objects and creatures are pointed out. But differences are also highlighted, helping the children to begin to see how we are all unique.

Dave owns a wooden ship called the Theseus And that's Dave's wife - she doesn't like goodbyes. Dave and his crew...' Help me to accept and embrace the differences within myself as I grow older and change both physically and spiritually.And each time the ship gets damaged... More metal parts are added and so on and so on. Until, eventually, every part of the Theseus has been replaced. The ship is now entirely metal. Inside and out. When Dave gets home, his wife...' Some children have already chosen to return to the book during their independent time, to reread the story or retell it to others. Any book that causes this reaction at this point in the term should be in every single EYFS book box. Sample Answers to "What Makes You Unique?" and Why They Work 1. "I am a very good communicator and find it's easy for me to relate to other people."

There are critical windows of opportunity to develop these capacities in early childhood and adolescence. Policy, educational and parental practice should pay close attention to these periods. Which ship is the Theseus? Now, this is all very well with ancient ships and what not but what happens if we think about something a little closer to home? Like, I don't know? You! You see, like Dave's ship, our bodies change and grow throughout our lives. We're born. 'We grow up into toddlers.' Children come equipped with capacities that support lifelong learning and development. These capacities need to be promoted and protected. For almost 20 years, the Learning for Well-being (L4WB) Framework has been one contribution to this literature, which proposes that through the application of the most innate human abilities – or ‘core capacities’– children can better understand and interact with the world around them, for life and for learning, and to realise their unique potential. Core capacities can be viewed as cornerstones of life skills. The most innate and basic human abilities, so easily taken for granted, that they underutilised in efforts to promote child well-being and development. The nine core capacities in the framework are ‘Discerning patterns’, ‘Embodying’, ‘Empathizing’, ‘Inquiring’, ‘Listening’, ‘Observing’, ‘Reflecting’, ‘Relaxing’, and ‘Sensing’. Preston said “I like scratching like a dinosaur”, encouraging Joe to be more specific and realise: “I can be like a T-Rex and stretch up tall.”Children's capacities are interconnected with the capacities of adults, who play a modelling role and influence children's chances of developing such capacities themselves.
