Why Teaching Preschool is Just Like Teaching Kittens

I read online somewhere that teaching preschoolers is just like herding kittens. The more preschool I experience, the more I agree. 

They're cute

They're cuddly

They want someone to hold them

They always want to play

They're curious

They crawl all over each other

You always find them in random places

You'll never get all of them to sit down and stay

You never know when one will bite you

They bring you things they found outside as gifts

I have a small collection of leaves, spare buttons, and random playground things in my cupboard.

When they just refuse to do what you tell them, pick them up and put them in their designated spot

Go to your chair. No? Fine, I'll put you there. 

They love toys

They randomly fall asleep

You love them and want to see them succeed

Even if it's just at nap time right now.
