This is an informal forum - and you would be the one "Trolling" note the subject topic was potty training. Somthing you have failed to address at all. Instead you have proof read and abused other professionals for their educated opinion on the topic. On a lighter note, I don't have a Bachelors Degree, i am a group leader in Australia. I am the worlds worst speller! I have shocking hand writing and grammer..... I went to work with little children because they carn't read!. I soon worked out that their parents do! BUT i have lost count of the number of families that loved the time spent in my room, the little brothers ans sisters whos parents insist i have (2nd, 3rd, even a 4th child in families coming to me). The number of birthday party's you get invited too,social events. At the moment i have a family who are in great pain, Dad has been is hospital for 6 weeks, their 4 year old is deaf and their 3 year old has been diaognosed with the same disorder that claimed the life of their baby boy, Its going around to their home with a pie, making get well cards for Daddy and giving Mum areal hug. The Personal touch- somthing you might be laking in Wendy- Becoming a part of their family. Remember why you are in the early childhood field. Surly it was not a grammer fettish! and we all know how bad the pay is so no one is here for that. These are the rewards that some will never understand or truly appreciate. If you don't appreciate the gift of working with children and familys then you should not be here!> You don't have to be an Acadmic to be a great teacher Wendy, give those true proffessionals the respect they deserve.
