firm control while being warm, caring and responsive.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I believe that young children learn through personal experience.
