Safaa is an amazing little girl who loves playing with all the children at her school. She finds ways to get along with everyone and plays with different groups. One day, she played with two-year-olds making balls and cars out of playdough in the morning. In the afternoon, she played dress ups and shopping with four-year-olds. The document recommends offering Safaa more opportunities to choose her own activities to develop intrinsic motivation, and working directly with teachers on projects so she can be observed and feel accomplished.

with all the children at AnNur and you find ways to play and get along with everyone. One day, I found you playing with two different groups of children. In the morning, you noticed that the two year olds were playing with playdough so you chose to join them. You really enjoyed making balls and cars with Khizer, Samy and Wafiy. In the afternoon, you played dress ups and shopping with the four year olds.
What is happening with
Safaa and how can we offer her more? Safaa usually makes her own choice about what she wants to do. This is an excellent quality as it means she is intrinsically motivated and isnt doing something to please someone or because she was told to do it. Children achieve more satisfaction from choosing to do something by themselves than when the choice is made for them and they usually learn more and retain whatever they learned better. Safaa is a quick learner so it is ideal that she explores and interacts directly with adults she can learn from. It is important for Safaa to work together with her teachers on an activity so that she can be observed and encouraged to feel accomplished and recognized for any work she does well in.
