L. Rowton My Early Childhood Education Autobiography I definitely agree that the degree of exposure that a child has to education while growing up has a huge impact on views one has later in life regarding early childhood education. For example, people such as parents, older siblings, teachers, babysitters, daycare providers, etc. can all provide different learning experiences for the child. Being around other children can also provide extremely valuable experiences for a child, as far as learning goes, and influencing social behavior as well. A child who does not have positive experiences with their early childhood education may suffer both academically and socially later on in life, lacking the proper groundwork toward a good, solid education, I believe it it extremely important to instill a positive outlook in a child regarding education and learning in general.
ASSESSMENT TASK - CCLD MU 2.2 Contribute to the support of child and young person development Criteria 3.1 & 3.2: At several stages of children’s and young people’s lives transitions take place. While some changes can be positive, others may be difficult and therefore affect their development in a negative manner by becoming withdrawn, confused, frightened, angry, loss of appetite or lack of sleep. Importantly, successful transitions are dependent on practitioners consulting one another and building on information provided by parents and practitioners alike. During their time at nursery children may undergo different types of transitions such as emotional, physical, physiological and intellectual. To identify the transitions which children may face can help us to support and manage them.
Furthermore, there are influences of children’s development after conceived, for example some babies are born too early and this play a part in their later development. This is one reason why premature babies progress in measured according to the date they were due to be born rather than their actual birth date. Infections that the mother picks up, such as rubella, can create difficulties for the developing baby. Maternal anxiety and stress, as well as diet, also seem to influence development. Birth itself can be tricky for a few babies.
The strands are: • To learn about themselves - Self Concept Development • To learn about their feelings - Emotional Development • To learn about other people - Social Development • To learn to communicate - Language Development • To learn to move and do - Physical Development • To learn to think - Cognitive Development The quality of early experiences is shaped by the individuals with whom infants and toddlers spend their time and by the environments where they spend their time. As early childhood professionals, we know what children need in order to be successful in both school and in life. This document designed for program trainers, directors and parent educators to use as they work with caregivers and parents to insure quality care for infants and toddlers. Infants and toddlers are cared for in a variety of settings. These settings include the child’s own home, child care centers and family child care.
• Children are less likely to show unwanted behaviour. • Their language develops quickly as they feel confident talking to us. • We can plan more accurately as we understand their development needs and their interests. Here are some factors of how to build and maintain positive relationships with children and young people: • Communicating effectively- The style and way that we communicate may change according to the child’s age and their stage of development. It is not just about words but it is also about our facial expressions, body language and gestures.
They tend to break up repeatedly with the same person, often get emotional and angry. We learn to trust and rely on others as an infant and that influences our relationship as adults. If parents of children this and traded children accordingly we may have adults who grow up to have healthy happy relationships. A child's early caregiver experiences are crucial in setting the stage for that child's ability to maintain intimate relationships in adulthood. A child needs consistent, nurturing caregiving in order to develop a secure base, in which the child feels that it is safe and protected in the world.
Early Childhood Education Theorists Lev Vygotsky, Reggio Emilia, and John Dewey are three fundamental pioneers that espouse the notion of increasing children’s social development through the help and care of adults and members of the community. All of these theorist agree that developing self-awareness is critical to children’s overall comprehension of the world. However, these theorist offer different viewpoints on how children achieve optimal development. Vygotsky support the notion of assessing a children’s comprehension level by using what he coined the learning ‘Zone of Proximity Development’ (ZPD) which declares that although children are capable of working independently they may still struggle to complete task beyond their comprehension level, and thus will require the guidance and assistance of adults. Reggio Emilia focuses more on the role family centered care play in impacting children’s development.
This development in children includes both emotional and social development. From infants to adults, children are constantly adapting and learning about the environment and the world surrounding them (Maggi & Irwin, 2008). As a result, they begin to understand how to co-exist with others and the world. It is very early on when the child develops a certain personality depending on the type of upbringing and environment provided. Children do develop differently depending on their genetic makeup and environment, parents and guardians can play a huge role to ensure that the child grows up to be an emotionally mature individual.
Moreover, they regulate their style of talking to fit the infant’s stage of development. This type of baby talk is termed parentese. Parentese is higher in pitch, simpler in vocabulary, and shorter in sentence length. The role of parents and other adults in language development is critical. Most people believe that language development begins when a child starts to talk which is around one year of age but the influence of a parent and adult on language development happens a lot earlier but is not true because it happened it the womb because the mother talk to the baby while they growing inside the mother Parents and other caregivers must start by using appropriate language and responding to children’s use of language in the proper way if language development is to progress in a healthy manner.
(Freeberg & Payne, 1967). The early stages of development for an infant on through childhood are based on how the family has affected the young child, and the types of parenting; education has influenced the growing child. How families affect the development of infants and young children. When an infant comes into the world they have no say or control over which family they will be placed into, or the environment in which they will begin to live in. The culture of the family is what is the biggest influence on how a child is raised, the morals Infancy and Childhood Development 3.
