Which of the following is NOT what a teacher should look for when observing Infants and Toddlers Creativity
-

-
Concepts
-

-

Correct Answer
A. ReligionExplanation
When observing infants and toddlers' creativity, a teacher should not focus on their religion. This is because religion is a personal and individual aspect of a child's life that should be respected and not judged or evaluated in terms of their creative development. Instead, a teacher should look for the development of a positive self-concept, the understanding and application of concepts, and the ability to make decisions as indicators of creativity in infants and toddlers.Rate this question:
