18. As an educator, I believe children should be given the opportunities to explore the world around them. Also, I believe children's curiosity should be supported by providing different materials to explore the world around them and their interests by asking open-ended questions, providing materials, and setting up open-ended provocations. I always ask myself, how can I expand children's curiosity? Or how can I help children grow their curiosity and help them get the answers they are curious about without giving direct correct answers?
