At the moment I am involved in a Positivity Project with a Cluster of 13 Kindergartens. (One of those middle of the night a-ha moments) I am astounded by how much negativity there is in early childhood, especially in this time of rapid
change, growth and reform. We need to stop and think, reflect and be grateful for the opportunities we have. Realise the vital role we play in the lives of countless children and their families. Be happy about that and proud. Share the good times and see ourselves as professionals doing an important, meaningful job. Negativity decreases one's capacity to move forward. It narrows our perspectives and shadows the decisions we make. It doesn't take much to notice when something good happens, and not much else to acknowledge it.
