As you watch, reflect on the concept of slowing down in early childhood practice. Then, respond to the following prompts in your journal:

  • How can slowing down support more intentional and responsive approaches to children’s learning and development?

  • What pedagogical choices or commitments might you make to cultivate a practice grounded in the principles of slow pedagogy?
