Using an example explain what is meant by lack of joint attention? Joint attention is when an infant and another person is attentive to the same object and to one another. So this is where young children show an interest in what other people (adults usually) are looking at and swapping their attention between the object and the person. So a Lack of joint attention is where the child does not carry this out and do not copy or engage with others. This is common in children with autism as they may not point at an object they will want or will not look at an object an adult is looking at.
E.g. the children begin to explore the world, through their senses and through movement. The second stage is called pre-operational stage, at this stage children start to develop their thoughts, memory, and language skills. During this stage the child is egocentric using other words children can only see the world in their own way and they are unable to conserve. For example if you take a toy from the child the child will think that the toy no longer exists especially if you distract the child meaning that at this stage children has a lack of concept of object permanence.
Children can explore their emotions and it is only partly about producing an end product and is more about children enjoying the process and learning from it. Children who develop their own ideas and are not over- dependent on the ideas of others have a strong sense of self. Whilst children who are always being required to follow adult instructions and tasks cannot develop the control they need in order to be creative. Creativity is about doing things in new ways not like other people. Therefore, it is impossible to know in advance how a model or painting, dance or wooden block construction will look in the end.
Smidt (2007) adds that if a child is told to do something, or play with a specific toy, there is no real play, as “the child has not chosen to do this” (p8); play is regarded as something that the children have decided for themselves. Play is a safe way to explore areas of excitement and concern, and issues which children face daily. The theory put forward by Piaget (1962) emphasises that children’s ability in logical concepts is largely dependent on their activity with possessions as well as social interactions – both associated with play. Practitioners can gain an insight into a child’s current level of knowledge, interests, and the issues that are important to them through observation of children at play. In order to effectively plan through play, children should be allowed space and time to naturally find individual skills and interests, which will subsequently allow practitioners to
Reed and Brown (2000) proposed that it might be difficult to define play as it is ‘felt’ rather than ‘done’. Ramsay (1998, p. 23) defines play as a ‘vehicle for children to explore their differences and develop common themes that incorporate elements from many life experiences’. This definition provides a good insight into the concept of play however it does not encompass all types of play such as solitary play. Smidt (2011) articulates that through play children attempt to set and solve problems, explore and experience their interests and concerns and express and communicate their feelings within a context. This definition places the child at the centre of the activity and highlights the usefulness of play.
here’s to the kids who will never have 100 percent confidence in anything they do, and to the kids that are okay with that. here’s to the kids. this one’s not for the kids who always get what they want, but for the ones who never had it at all. it’s not for the ones who never get caught, but for the ones who always try and fail. this one’s for the kids who didn’t make it, we were the kids who never made it.
Positivly verbally- making sure a positive attitudes used with the child with no negative comments. How effective are the strategies? Evidently from the beginning of the year compared to now. Child As organisation, behaviour, work and self esteem has improved drastically. When starting school he was unaware of any structure or discipline, by working closely with the pupils parents child A has show brilliant
A person is Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type when he or she fidgets and talks a lot. Children of this type may exhibit over activeness and may play or run around constantly. In the combined type the person exhibits symptoms of both Predominantly Inattentive Type and Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type. These symptoms may be hard to notice in children because they do not have to deal with adult pressures of homework or work
As humans and pigeons are not the same this could be inaccurate. The Nativist language development theory is that children learn to talk by copying others and learning rules through praise and correction and believe language is innate. Chomsky challenged Behaviourist model first as it’s believed that adults give children poor examples of speech to copy, ‘poverty of stimulus’. And no matter what the language all children go through the same stages of acquisition when the LAD is stimulated by human interaction. This theory can be questioned as children don’t hear adults making virtuous errors, so why do they?
This stage is where a child must learn and accept what is and is not allowed and that some of the things that are not allowed could result in a punishment. When children are given the opportunity to use their initiative, for example, by making up a game, greater feelings of security are introduced with their ability to lead others and their sense of initiative is boosted. A dismissive or over controlling attitude or criticism from a carer could cause the child to become under the impression that they are a nuisance to others, making them feel embarrassed and causing them to lack self initiative. During this stage, children tend to ask many questions as they exercise interest and become more curious about their world. If negative responses towards the child’s questions are shown from the parents or carer, then the child may begin to develop feelings of guilt for showing an interest.
