Oh, I'm SO stealing that.<BR/><BR/>I taught PreK for three years, and I'll tell you from experience, the littler ones CAN be trained not to be so needy. However, the process of training them is just as exhausting as just holding 3 conversations at once. ;-)Angela Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550253754211140493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10378966.post-71905918956422295272009-02-12T19:24:00.000-05:002009-02-12T19:24:00.000-05:00I teach kindergarten and then am an after school t...I teach kindergarten and then am an after school teacher for grades k-5.

Now I teach K-5 in the library and this is obvious again. Not only do they all want your attention, but they don't always notice when someone else already has your attention so often I find myself participating in 3 conversations at once! A very fun developmental thing because it is so clearly a 5-6-7 year old trait. But definitely a different kind of tired! I enjoy every age for different reasons:-) Great post, so insightful.Frankihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00186802649034970935noreply@blogger.com
