Tiger is our best friend. How nursery teach from early months to care somebody?

In every nursery there is a toy, that represents the class. And during the year this toy is shown as being one of the best friend of a class, which kids have to care. Then every week one of toddlers is choosen to be a Hero of the week. This means that they have to take this toy at home during the weekend, to care of this, play with this and be amazed as this one of theirs best friend in the nursery. It is likely to take one of your best friend to stay with you at home.

Our son, was choosen as Hero of the week this weekend, the main character is Tiger. Our toddler had to play, read, sleep and care of Tiger. We had to make some images and then to print them and give them to the nursery. During this week, Damian will explain (I don´t know how) to his mates how he passed his weekend with theirs common best friend Tiger.

My thoughts. It was amazing to see our kid to be so keen of caring of this toy, and time he dedicated to play with it. I suppose that even if he is not talking too many words, he is aware about his experience as he has seen it before in his kidergarden and saw how others was caring of this toy. Then I thought that it is wonderful that they learn in the nursery to take care of something and somebody, they teach them then to express their emotions during this process of care. This develops his social interaction with other kids and as well to grow his self esteem as being a hero in the eyes of his mates.

Our toddler even posed for taking the photos. This means that he knows what will follow :).

Here you go with this lovely experience.
