Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Playing with dolls is important to the development of young children. Children use baby dolls to learn about expressing their emotions and putting names and words to what they’re feeling.

Taking care of a doll strengthens caring and nurturing skills, which are important building blocks of empathy.

Successful adults use empathy in both their social relationships and their business relationships; understanding the motivation and emotions of others is an essential skill. The impact dolls have on emotional development occurs early in childhood. Making dolls available to young children is a sound strategy to help them acquire and expand the essential skills of caring, nurturing, and understanding.
