Grossmont College My Image of A Child Discussion

I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

uote:Our image is of a child who is competent, active, and critical: therefore a child who may be seen as a challenge and somethimes, as troublesome…To us, the child is a producer of culture, values, and rights, competent in learning and competent in communicating…We have to try to organize a school, an infant-toddler center for this child (Carlina Rinaldi)

Questions: After you read this quote, think about the following questions:

1. What is your image of the child?
2. How did you develop that image? Was it influenced by your culture, values, perceptions and beliefs?
