Think as far back as you can, to when you were a child in elementary school. Do you have memories of a teacher who made you feel\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edu.gov.on.ca\/childcare\/researchbriefs.pdf\">empowered, loved, confident and intelligent<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>You most likely felt this way because the teacher responded to your social, emotional and physical needs. He or she created an environment where you felt loved and safe enough to explore.<\/p>\n<p>This teacher believed in you, challenged you, and set attainable expectations for you. He or she got to know your abilities, strengths and needs and may have modified the curriculum accordingly. This confidence and support you received from the teacher increased your self-esteem and courage to explore.<\/p>\n<p>From such scenarios, we illustrate that the ability to foster secure relationships with children is strengthened when teachers work in contexts where they can prioritize these values and practices:<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Respect for children<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Secure relationships are formed when children feel as though their ideas and opinions are valued. Children feel safe to express their feelings and subsequently learn to respect and listen to others. Teachers create a welcoming learning environment that fosters all children\u2019s abilities and strengths.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Fostering community and belonging in the classroom<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>When teachers recognize children\u2019s uniqueness and individuality, they support a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naeyc.org\/resources\/blog\/why-creating-classroom-community-so-important\">sense of belonging<\/a>. This supports children in expressing feelings, recognizing others\u2019 feelings and perspectives, feeling empathy and emotional regulation.<\/p>\n<p>When children have the confidence that their own capabilities and characteristics are valued, they learn to socialize well with others, to negotiate, collaborate and communicate. Such habits contribute to their life-long learning.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Being warm, accessible and caring<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Supportive relationships with teachers begin when teachers are approachable and children know that they can confide in them.<\/p>\n<p>When teachers listen and are available, children learn to ask for help and rely on people. This experience is important to carry throughout life.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Setting challenging and achievable expectations<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Providing the child with the experience of being available, understanding and seeing them for who they are allows the child to trust the teacher and want to live up to their expectations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachhub.com\/teaching-strategies-balance-between-challenge-and-frustration\">This scaffolding<\/a>\u00a0or encouraging the child to learn or push themselves past their own expectations or beliefs in what they are capable of is important for growth, development and building resilience.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios: <\/strong>Elena Merendais Assistant Program Head of Early Childhood Studies and Nikki Martyn is Program Head of Early Childhood Studies both at the University of Guelph-Humber<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Ontario, Education Minister Lisa Thompson recently announced\u00a0she will be consulting with education partners on the possibility of removing hard caps on class sizes.
