BELONGING
A feeling of belonging is an important part of a child’s sense of well-being and in this book, we explore some of the ways we can belong. We start by acknowledging the importance of belonging to ourselves first and then discover our many layers of belonging. We consider what it means to belong in our families, our school or kindergarten, our communities, our cultures, our country, and finally, what it means to belong in our world.
Belonging is a foundation element of the Early Years Learning Framework. A sense of belonging is essential to becoming emotionally grounded individuals and culturally competent, sensitive, mutually respectful adults. The Belonging big book and notes will help you introduce and extend your conversation with children and families about who they are and how they belong.
This book is a part of our 3 Bee’s collection of Being, Belonging, and Becoming.
