Cultural Diversity

The cultural diversity seen within my surroundings is surreal. It's actually something I don't think about often because I've always been surrounded by diverse populations. With my husband being in the military, it's assumed that there are other people around us from areas all over the world living right next to us. Living so closely allows all of our neighbors to become acquainted with one another and understand the idea of culturally infused areas.

With culture, there are definitely some boundaries that people overlook because they are unaware of the impact their lack of knowledge will influence. With people that I am unfamiliar with, I typically hesitate on my responses because I don't want to offend them or their culture in any way.

My Connections to Play

  • "Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning." By Fred Rogers
  • “The activities that are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun to do – such as singing, playing games, reading, storytelling, and just talking and listening – are also the best for child development.” ~ Jerome Singer (professor, Yale University)
  • “As astronauts and space travelers children puzzle over the future; as dinosaurs and princesses they unearth the past. As weather reporters and restaurant workers they make sense of reality; as monsters and gremlins they make sense of the unreal.” ~ Gretchen Owocki (childhood educator)
