Engaging and Empowering Energetic Boys
We need to be aware of just how different boy’s bodies are. Generally, boys have more muscle mass and so require more energy to maintain their body temperature. Girls are generally more insulated and so do not require as much energy. Under seven year old boys have very few inhibitions, they are free from stress and almost everything they do is spontaneous. We need to cater for this and tailor their experiences to let this happen for them. So what can we do for boys?
This workshop details just how different our boys are and gives practical suggestions of how we can develop our ECE programmes to better cater for these differences so as ensure boys are engaged, empowered and develop a love for exploration and learning.
