Quote

It is important that you help the children in your care to develop their understanding of safety, which is a many-layered thing. In part, it is about self-awareness. ‘Where do I start and finish?’, ‘what can my body do?’, ‘how well can I control my actions?’ are questions that we see the tiniest babies wrestling with as they grasp at toys and develop their mobility. This is an ongoing process, and young children are preprogrammed to keep stretching themselves, in the same way that all young animals do, until they reach maturity and the peak of their own particular set of abilities.
