I love children and am very energetic, very keen to have fun with them as well as teach them things or explore ideas, concepts, and environments with them. My childcare style is occasionally permissive, occasionally authoritarian, but mostly objective-- I listen to the children well as they express their needs and wants and if their wants are something parents do not want them to do or something that is harmful or destructive, I gently explain to them why it is wrong or why they cannot proceed with said action and suggest an appealing alternative with their desires in mind. In short, I love kids and hate to see them unhappy so I take care to have fun with them and offer alternatives to actions they may want to do that is "against the rules.
