Constantly Telling My Colleagues….
I would love to make this into a poster and hang it in my classroom. Next time a teacher bitches because about infants and toddlers not being busy, or needing new toys, I can just point to the sign. It's not always about toys, it's about being there: talking, playing, mimicking, laughing, modeling and just being present. Maybe children will even gain knowledge about ways to play or how to engage themselves in things that interest them after being guided by an adult.

100% agreed. They also need nature and nurture. Toys can be bought or could be a stick at the park. They could be straws and some tape or a $100 mobile. Either way kids need attention above all else.
