ABSTRACT
People can't see what is going on inside someone else's brain but we know someone has learned something when we are able to observe a fairly permanent change in his or her performance. Whether we are able to learn something quickly or with difficulty is, to some extent, dependent on how skilful we are at getting organised and studying effectively. Children in the nursery are usually very eager to explore and learn and all you need to do is harness their curiosity and enthusiasm and help them to learn the attitudes and organisational skills that will ensure they achieve their potential as learners. Development Matters encourages adults to: Recognise that children's interest may last for short or long periods and that their interest and preferences vary. Adults can create an enabling environment by building on this to plan future activities and experiences for each child' Development Matters.
