1. I support children’s active and meaningful participation in my community by making them implementers of the tasks and hearing from them, on how best can we do things before i put my input on the project. I want them to be empowered and be problem solvers through teamworking. I faced challenges of limited time and resources
2. I would like to enhance a problem solving character and an atmosphere of possibilities among their thoughts
3. Shifting the mindset of other colleagues who interact with the children in some areas or learning areas from tokenism to meaningful participation
4. From my own experience children’s participation is vital because they represent the future and if we engage them now they would be more responsible in the future. Also they have a better way of understanding the environment among themselves, hence, their views and contributions should be respected
