Teaching With The Body In Mind ·

2022/05/17

Ross encourages us to lean in to the poop jokes, fart noises, and potty talk that young children find so enthralling. It's not just a case of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." As children work to master their bodies and the realm of social interactions, talk of bodily functions can be an essential part of development.
