Ideation

And that gives me more information about their capacity and their understanding.

And so I would get curious about like, Why is, are there constrictions in my flexibility? Are there constrictions in my visual, in my ideation of like, what ideas do I have? Like, am I, and that's the thing from a child led standpoint too, that's so important in floor time, a strategy in floor time is being child led.

But I always say child led is being one step ahead of that kid because I want to kind of have an idea of what their idea is.

And what, if I know about their individual differences, I can help support that idea when it's new.

Like I am my own person separate from this other person because I have my own idea that may be different from them and I'm going to bring them into that idea.

But if, so that capacity is so important because if we don't develop that capacity, I loved all your, and I love Amy Z and everybody, like all the conversation about executive functioning.

But if we don't have a sense of self and what we want, then how do we have a goal that we want to work to? And so making sure that we're supporting that ideation and like even the Q reading is so important there because so many kids Q or curiosity is just like looking at something.

And if you don't make meaning out of that, then that moment of ideation may go away.
