Children need learning experiences and environments that fit their needs, not based on what adults think they should be learning or doing.

Stay focused on developmental aspects to conquer behavioral issues. Some things to consider are attachment, self-help skills, empowerment, pro-social skills, and self-esteem. These are building blocks to gear preschoolers for their next step- kindergarten. A source of learning comes from many places- self, others, and experiences. Each developmental stage begins at home and should be strengthened in a school setting. Healthy attachments with parents and caregivers facilitate the positive development of these skills, which provide the foundation to for these skills. When various opportunities are given to children through play, modeling, coaching, environmental set up, and a well planned curriculum they flourish developmentally. Environments both in the home and in early childhood centers need to be conducive to a child’s learning experience. Facilitating a child 's growth means working side by side with families.
Attachment and bonding should be reinforced throughout every child 's early childhood years- in and out of childcare. According to Bertherton (1992), "Attachment theory relates to strong, affectionate bonds that human beings share with each other (p. 759)." Indeed, these bonds are to be facilitated. Between human beings and have a shared common ground. This behavior must be reciprocal. The child benefits from multiple adults reinforcing
