Working with 4 yr-olds is both a privilege and a challenge. I learned so much from them during my days as a YMCA preschool teacher.
Why Choose?
I taught preschoolers for 13 years,
I heard a lot of laughter and I saw so many tears,
If you ask a 4-year-old, what color is your favorite?
You might get “rainbow”, a cute response, I’ll admit,
Rainbow, good answer, I always would say,
Why choose just a single color, anyway?
Some children cry if given a color they dislike,
Whether it be a cupcake, a crayon or an outdoor trike,
I say: “You get what you get’,
“And you don’t pitch a fit”,
They look at me with wide eyes and then I realize,
“Rainbow” is great, it always satisfies,
Choose a rainbow, the colors are so many,
Make all of them your favorite, there certainly are plenty,
For at the end of the rainbow is a theoretical pot of gold,
So, don’t limit yourself, whether you are young or getting
old,
Rainbow, a good answer, I always would say,
Why choose just a single color anyway?
