Adaptation during the first year is difficult for toddlers, who may show fear and shame due to insecurity with new situations. Teachers must create a good classroom atmosphere to promote confidence and security among learners. They have a duty to build good relationships with students and mediate misbehaviors positively to increase confidence and participation, pointing out issues but focusing on gratification. Learning only occurs when students are biologically ready, so teachers must be patient and understand that repetition through games, songs, dances and reading helps young children internalize topics when they are receptive around ages four to five. Finally, teachers should generate a context of total confidence where students can learn in a relaxed, fun way while feeling comfortable and safe participating in tasks.

1. My philosophy of teaching

2. Adaptation is usually a difficult process for toddlers during the first
period of the year. Afraid and shame are signs of insecurity when something is
new for them. Create a good atmosphere is very important for learners and
the teacher to promote confidence and security into the classroom. So, as
teachers we have the duty of establish a good relationship and mediate with
their behaviors and attitude to increase confidence and participation. A good
way to do this is pointing to misbehavior and maximizes gratification in every
lesson leaving aside punishment as a way to control learners.
On the other side, Arnold Gessell said that learning occur only after the
individual was biological ready. So we cannot force pupils to learn all at the
same time because every child has his/her time to do it. We need to be patient
and understand that if we teach something not all learners remember it the first
time but with repetition, games, and routines they will remember a topic in
few classes. I believe that playing, singing, dancing, and reading are powerful
tools to teach pupils at the age of four or five when they are completely
receptive and so they can internalize whatever topic we want to teach if we do
our classes enjoyable.
To conclude, we need to generate a context and relationship of total
confidence in which the students can learn in a relaxed and funny way and
where they feel comfortable and safe to learn and participate in tasks assigned
by the teacher.
