With early intervention there are many services that parents can use relating to their child’s disabilities. Early intervention is for children from birth up until about kindergarten and it helps to prepare the family for the educational journey that they will face over the course of their life. There are not any weaknesses of early intervention. Early intervention is used to better the child and help build strengths where there are weaknesses. The strengths of early intervention are enhanced development, minimized developmental delays, and can decrease the need for special education in the future.
The short story called, "The Most Powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." by 'Neil Millar' shows the most respectful approach of parents to their children rather than "Be-ers and Doers" by 'Budge Wilson' in many ways. I feel that the story by "Neil Millar" is told in a calmer manner of speaking rather than the one written by "Budge Wilson". Everyone grows up differently but the effects grow depending on the matter of time when you are taught to become responsible. Every parent teaches their child different aspects at different times. Some are earlier than others and some must be later.
Also parents had to give a description of the capability of that child and if they did know then the professionals were unable to help. In my opinion this is a much better way of working together as all families can be helped in the best way. The “Department of Education” also outlines that the “Multi-agency working provides benefits for children, young people and families because they receive tailor-made support in the most efficient way”. Department of education (Accessed 20.12.12) they go one to say about the ways in which this co-operation is best fitted in this work ethic. One key example is early intervention; they are able to intervene with a situation almost immediately depending if the evidence gathered and shared to other professionals shows the Childs safety is being compromised.
So, when they grow up they will not have any problem in picking the right path. Understanding your child is another key fact that can help you make their future and your life better. Being a parent it is your responsibility to understand your child’s needs, needs that are eligible for their age group such as a toy that is not only a toy but it gives some sort of information that could be helpful for them either in the future or
CYP Core 37 2.4 Explain how to support children and young people according to their age, needs and abilities to make personal choices and experiences that have a positive impact on their lives One of the most important factors of being a practitioner is being able to judge a child’s rate of development. This enables a practitioner to be able to select a suitable dialect and activities for example I would not expect a year 1 class to be able to understand or carry out the work of a year 6 class and vice versa. It is always essential to remember that the child is an individual and so will have their own voice, opinions and points of view, therefore is very important to respect, listen to and value these. Again we should be working on the 5 positive outcomes of
If you know what is going on with the child’s development, practitioners have the opportunity to support the child, providing good surroundings for the child’s development to progress in. It will help to work out the type of play activities they’ll enjoy and how you can support their independence skills. Different aged children have different needs. Making checks to see children are developing and growing well is important as it indicates problems which can notify you as early as possible. Most checks are conducted by doctors, however in the early years, practitioners and parents notice this first.
As far as the Early Childhood Education is concern, teachers must consider their students’ capabilities at their (students) certain age. We call the abilities expected of a child to perform as Developmental Milestones/ Expectancies. If a child is not occupied with his expected abilities at his present age, it would be hard for a child to proceed to the following levels and difficulty as s/he grows. But if well exposed and provided, it’ll be no burden to a child to perform, learn and adapt using his/her achieved expectancies into any situations. Each expectancy on every area of development may affect the other areas but not necessarily all.
More recently laws have begun to change due to the research that shows children benefit from having both parents involved in their parenting. Laws now look at the relationship the parent had with the child and the level of involvement before the divorce, this is based on the idea that consistent care by the same caregiver is best for the child as it is less stress on them to be separated from that attachment that they already had (Demo & Fine, 2010, p. 67-68). Although there are many negative effects this change is not always a negative it can turn out to be a positive for
I really like the idea of the author that there are two kinds of mind-set: fixed mind-set and growth mind-set. However, I don’t agree that it is only educators’ fault that some kids have fixed mind-set. I think that it all starts in the family, way before school. Parents think their kids are special and tell them that they can achieve everything they want. But parents often forget to mention that the key to success is hard work.
Erikson's approach differentiates the mastery of childhood issues from adult ones by stressing the different virtues necessary for each stage. Hope and will are the two major virtues in the early childhood stages of development, and these develop into industry and competence as the child grows. Unless basic childhood issues of trust, purpose and autonomy are mastered in the early stages of life, the proper foundation of personhood will not be laid out for the later, more complex issues of identity, vocation and fidelity. 3. For Vygotsky, the movement is from a teacher helping the child to the child helping himself.
