Abstract: The article focuses on the importance of ensuring that children feel seen and heard in educational settings, particularly through interactions that foster a sense of belonging. It describes a facilitator's experience with a two-year-old child, Noli, during a forest exploration program, highlighting how small moments of connection can significantly impact a child's development and sense of agency. The author emphasizes the need for educators to practice presence and reflection, allowing children to express themselves and engage in inquiry-based learning. Ultimately, the article advocates for creating environments where children's voices and discoveries are valued, contributing to their emotional and social development. [Extracted from the article]
