While visiting a friend's house, their son hid my keys in the clothes dryer. We had to search for them for awhile to find them.

A few years ago, my kids' Great Grandmother (who is 97 now, but was about 95 then), hid our keys in the middle of her paper napkins / serviettes. Luckily my husband saw her out of the corner of his eye, or they may have taken us a while to find too. ?
im in the same situation right now, my little sister has lost the car keys around the house somewhere, she keeps pointing at things, but they arent there. try looking behind the tv, or behind furniture, they like to sneak stuff away, and then forget where they put it.
Competency-based approaches have emerged as a promising strategy for improving the quality of infant/toddler (I/T) care and education. In outlining the specific competencies (that is, knowledge, skills, and attributes) that are essential to the practice of teaching and caring for infants and toddlers, competency frameworks can establish a common language for assessing job performance, provide a clear structure for professional development, and offer a step in professionalizing the I/T workforce.
I had a plastic pocket close by so I grabbed that and put it under the door. Thanks to watching too many murder mysteries, I had the bright idea if I could get the key to fall onto that I could pull it under the door. After much jiggling the key fell and I let out a whoop of delight, only to have my hopes dashed when my toddler snatched up the key as her prize and retreated to the other side of the bathroom with it.
Responsive relationships truly make up the heart of what you do in your work with young children and families. For infants and toddlers, all learning happens in the context of their relationships with the important adults in their lives.
Through relationships, infants and toddlers learn about their environment and how to interact with the world around them. The relationships infants and toddlers have with their families are the most important in shaping emotional and social development. Within their families, infants and toddlers begin to learn the skills they will need throughout life. As a member of a family, an infant or toddler begins to develop a sense of identity connected to family culture. Getting to know children within the context of their families gives you important information about who children are and how they relate to the world.
These simple interactions are all examples of responsive care. Such moments may be very familiar to you from your daily work with infants and toddlers. When you are responsive with each child in your care, you are giving the vital support that is necessary for learning and growth in all areas of development.
