children developing these types of skills in their setting - ✔✔Mental processes needed

determine which information is important. Early educators can slow children to explore
learning alone or in social groups, develop children's self control, support children to
increase their attention spans and improve their memory skills, offer children
opportunities to make symbolic representations of their ideas through art and
movement.
