listening to (and observing) children allows you to identify their individual needs and interests.
"Planning for individual needs" is a key term with my manager!
I don't know if this sort of thing would be along the right lines, but something about extending learning maybe? Today a little boy at my setting was pretending to put fires out with a hose he made using popoids. Within a few minutes I had helped him set up a load of chairs (a fire engine), fetched the firemen helmets from the dress up box and set up a phone on a chair for them to receive emergency calls. By listening to his interests I was able to extend what may have lasted a few minutes into half an hours child initiated play!
