Creative Corner: What About EC!By Joanne PolnerWhat about EC! EC babies and parents and families are loving and caring units of humanity! EC is a child empowering behavior. EC builds trust. Baby learns: what I say is what I mean and my parents understand me. Parent thinks: I notice her and she sees me helping; she trusts that I will be there for her. EC creates thinking pathways for baby: Baby thinks: My parent is letting me use my brain, and I am smarter because I know what is happening to me and can communicate it. EC fosters independence and self-care. Parent thinks: When she wants to do something all by herself, I know that her developing abilities will let her take full charge from start to finish. Right from the beginning, EC is a direct route to the cultural standard, the toilet, and it is offered immediately; it is made available to the brand new baby. EC is an interactive happy experience. Interactive is the new museum way, the classroom way, the modern way of learning; so is the at-home and out-and-about EC way. Let's go the EC way! Letter from the Editor
