1

What roles did play and work take in your own learning? Can you think of a time when you learned something through either play or work? Can you relate your personal experience to that of children in early childhood programs, including family child care?
2

Do you believe that it is necessary to distinguish between work and play (and make them opposites)? How much do you think your answer to this question relates to your culture? If it does, how?
3

Think of a time when you experienced a sense of rhythm in your life. Describe it carefully. Do you see any benefits in this experience? Do you see how your experience might apply to early childhood education?
4

What part has competition played in your life? Have you found it beneficial? What is your reaction to the text's strong opposition to introducing or allowing competition in early childhood programs?
5

What part have praise and intrinsic motivation played in your life? Have you found one to be more beneficial than the other? What is your reaction to the text's strong warnings about the possible negative effects of praise?
