....being a good listener

I think what Benthere has put forth is most important ... to listen and hear what the children are saying. Then you can create a basis for questioning them on how to accomplish these suggestions... what best to do and how etcetera. Children are actually so brilliant at problem solving with just that little bit of guidance and direction. Speaking with children and NOT at them is also helpful so eye to eye contact and not speaking down to a child is essential. Teachers learn all the time and students teach all the time [well maybe not ALL] so it is an important learning curve, The  opportunities a teacher has to turn or fold the questions back to the child are numerous and a great way to get children thinking about ways to better independence using logic and critical thinking and creativity follows!
