Article research: Are your children better behaved at childcare/kinder/preschool?

[binnyb]

Hi,

I'm a freelance journalist writing an article about how children can sometimes behave differently when they are outside the home and in the care of early childhood educators.

I'd like to hear from parents whose chidlren do things at kinder or childcare (like eat fruit/vegetables, share, listen well or concentrate on particular tasks) but won't do them at home. I'd like to know what parents have done to try to get their chidlren to repeat this behaviour.

I'm also interested in hearing from teachers and early childhood professionals about why they think children will do things in formal settings that they won't do at home.

I can be contacted at binnyb@live.com.au


Thanks
Belinda
