I like working with kids because everyday is new, you never know what can happen with kids because they are unpredictable. They are small humans with an abundance of energy, strong opinions, and hard heads. I love wondering what goes on in their head! I started working with kids when I was about 16 years old in high school. My skills include problem-solving; I realize that some children get unhappy (minus from not getting what they want of course) when they don't understand something, and even though they are young beings I still communicate to them to the best of my abilities to help them understand. Creativity; anything colorful, new, and shiny, that can do something they haven't seen before will catch their attention but making it too... now that's fun. Active listening; one thing you need for kids is to be active listener. Kids think everything they say is breaking news and if you miss one detail it's breaks their heart.
