 Children start at the periphery, observing and imitating those around them, before moving into the center of activities under supervision and guidance.An example of 2-year-old Indigenous Mexican girl participating in digging-the-holes project with her mother highlights children's own initiation to help, after watching, and enthusiasm to share the task with family and community.Work is part of a child's development from an early age, starting with simple tasks that merge with play and develop to various kinds of useful work.
