9/11

[kelsey's kids]

Just to clarify in no way was I planning on talking to the kids about that day. I wondering if you worked anything a little more patriotic than normal into your curriculum or similar. The children in daycare are far to young to understand what took place and their little minds shouldn't even be bothered with the knowledge until they are older.

no, we aren't doing anything. One year I did a 9/11 coloring page, but they were clueless as to WHY we did it. I think parents thought it was strange, so I just haven't done anything since.

I wouldn't call it a "special" day. Since thousands of people died. My group is way to young to understand. Oldest is 3.5 I do plan to have a moment of silence, but I won't tell the children why.

.......... I read this to say a movement of silence and was making the dorkiest face at the screen.......... I am thinking three year old's are honoring 9-11 with movement how appropriate .....just a duh moment on my part...... made me chuckle in light of the sadness-

Blessings to all those that were directly and indirectly effected by this day. I know I will never forgetlovethis

This is an issue that parents should be talking to their children about (if a child is even affected). I personally believe it was an inside job - so think about this... if children old enough to understand that thousands of people died in the towers on 9/11 and started asking me questions about it, my answers likely wouldn't be in sync with (or acceptable with) what parents would want their children to think.

Topics like this, death, religion, sex, should be dealt with by parents, not daycare providers - imo.

going off topic but would love to hear more of your views on this. I find diversity interesting~
