He can learn so much just by observing and being in tune with his surroundings. And you're right, I think he is becoming more expressive of his feelings, which is a good thing.Yujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025841543342602157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-65630504260305262832012-06-26T21:50:49.846-05:002012-06-26T21:50:49.846-05:00What I think is great is his noticing his environm...What I think is great is his noticing his environment more...for whatever reason. That is the beginning of "Osmotic Learning". He is also becoming more expressive of his feelings too...by the way it sounds. He is maturing.Shiroi Torahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869506932268171410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-1646627224862730602012-06-26T20:24:11.941-05:002012-06-26T20:24:11.941-05:00Thanks, Betsy!

He is very sensitive and as he matures, will learn how to express frustration without saying hurtful things. I think your conversation was wonderful!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-14152492823237818912012-06-26T14:59:55.752-05:002012-06-26T14:59:55.752-05:00Thanks MM!

That's cute!<br /><br />Yes, he was very sweet to think he might have been causing my hair to go gray. It is so interesting to find out what kids are thinking... I want to find more ways to get him to open up like that.Yujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025841543342602157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-75673641721101811752012-06-26T14:25:19.256-05:002012-06-26T14:25:19.256-05:00I love this post!!

When adults get exasperated with people (usually children) they'll say "you're going to make my hair go green!" (It doesn't translate well, sorry). <br /><br />I feel lucky to have read both these posts in a row. It's so sweet he was worried about giving you gray hair, and what a wonderful conversation to have about feelings. Talk about a great teaching moment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553828713266333174noreply@blogger.com
