Demonstrate positive interaction with children

Instead of saying,

“He is shy.” in front of a child, you might say, “Do you feel shy today?”

Enduring Understandings• Positive interaction with children of all

ages fosters the development of self esteem.

• Optimal child development requires more than instinct.

• Child development is the scientific viewpoint of issues related to children, yet sensitivity is important to the study because parenting is inherently personal and unique.

Enduring Understandings

• Prenatal care has a huge impact on the development of a baby.

• Optimal prenatal care begins with lifestyle choices many years before conception.

• Prior to birth, a baby is developing physically and intellectually, and is affected by conditions in the womb environment.

Unit Three

• The father’s health and lifestyle also impact the developing baby.

Enduring Understandings

• The teen years are not optimal for the growth and care of the baby.

• Parenthood involves many various commitments, including a financial commitment.

• While it is worth it, the financial commitment requires planning.

Enduring Understandings

• Decision making skills are necessary regarding the use of many technologies during pregnancy.

Planning for Pregnancy

It’s never too early, but can be too late!

• Although you should start planning for a baby, starting as young as possible, doesn’t mean it is best to have a baby at anytime.

• Your body isn’t best fit to carry a child during teen years and also when you turn 40 and older.

• You should be financially secure. According to my experiment a baby can cost about $4,000 per year, this is not including child care.

• Being emotionally secure is also important, you have to devote your time to a baby constantly, and you have somebody else who depends on you.

• The males sperm stays inside of his body for up the three months.

• If the male does drugs or alcohol, the sperm may become damaged, also some drugs may prevent the father-to-be from producing as much sperm as usual, possibly making it harder to fertilize the egg, but don’t forget, it only takes 1.

• So before trying to conceive a child, the father-to-be should stay away from harmful substances for ATLEAST three months, remember longer is better.

• And Everyone remember, no smoking around the mother-to-be. Second hand smoke can be harmful to the baby, as well as the mother.

When finished, click mouse to continue.

• Did you know that what you eat before you even begin to think of conceiving a child, may affect your future baby?

• Remember ladies, all of the eggs you will ever have are already in your body while you’re still in your mother’s uterus, so whatever you do that affects your body good or bad, may also affect your eggs as well. Likewise whatever your mother did while she was pregnant with you may have affected your eggs then, rather good or bad.

• Folic acid is an essential part in your daily diet, to best ensure a healthy baby, you should eat at least one serving of a folic acid per day, its never to early to start.

• Dairy products are also extremely important. You should intake at least 3 servings per day.

• Remember to follow your food guide pyramid, and a different food guide pyramid should be used for pregnant women.

When finished, click mouse to continue.

• Smoking while pregnant may cause miscarriage or still birth.

• Asthma or other respiratory problems are possible.

• Your baby may die from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). This illness causes a baby who seems healthy to die with no warning.

• It could result in learning or behavior problems in later childhood.

Preschoolers are increasing their finger controlThey can pick up small objects like pencils etc.

•They seem to grow in spurts rather than a little more over a period of time

Independence is the primary emotional stage during the preschool years.

A child’s development of self esteem and personality depend greatly on the interaction from within the environment.

Preschoolers are learning to join play with other preschoolers instead of parallel play or independent play.

The preschooler is able to make choices, cooperate and recognize the outcome of their decisions.

As the preschoolers learn to talk they are able to identify objects, pictures and symbols.

Imitation is important in the ongoing language development of a preschooler. They will repeat what they say and use different tones for different words.

Physically preschoolers are using their large motor skills and fine motor skills with confidence. Preschoolers are learning their social skills through their environment and are learning to interact with other children. Imitation can be a huge factor in a preschoolers language development. Knowing how a preschooler learns, grows and process information can be a valuable tool that helps preschoolers learn and develop a love for learning.

PRESCHOOLER DEVELOPMENT

~CaNdAcE*NiChOl~

PhYsIcAl DeVeLoPmEnT

The bodies of preschoolers change all the way from height right down to their muscles. As preschoolers get taller they lose baby fat, their bones become stronger, the brain grows, and larger muscles develop. They begin to walk, run, jump, climb, throw, and catch. Smaller muscles develop also. These are muscles in the hands and fingers. This allows preschoolers to develop eye-hand coordination which allows them to hold objects and learn new fine-motor skills.

EmOtIoNaL/SoCiAl DeVeLoPmEnT

Social Awareness– Taking initiative– Showing

Responsibility– Learning gender roles– Extending social

relations

Emotions Dependency Fear and anxiety Anger and aggression Jealousy

InTeLlEcTuAl/CoGnItIvE DevElOpMeNt

• Toddlers discover new ways to solve problems

• They begin to think which includes:

*Hiding games *Goals *Imitation *Objects

*Shape, size,& color

• Language abilities begin to develop:

*Articulation *Meanings *Vocabulary * Grammar

~~~SuMmArY~~~Children grow and develop in significant ways

between the ages of 3 and 5. These changes occur physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, physical changes are more obvious. The brain matures over time and the broadening of experiences allows the development to take its course.

Preschoolers like to play with other children and manipulate their games .At a certain age preschoolers teeth begin to come out.Preschoolers may have to be coaxed to stop their activities for meals.Children of this age begin to show a preference for the right or left hand.

Preschoolers have the energy to play, talk, and play games Playing with other children contributes to social development and readiness for school.Emotions are intense and may change quickly.Preschoolers are proud of their growth and new skills.

Intellectual development is happening when the kids are building their own things In the picture he is concentrating on what he is doing. He is thinking intently and having blast.Intellectual/cognitive is when the preschoolers are learning and doing stuff on their own, and participating in what you are doing with them.

In a few words, I think positive experiences in a child's first 3 years lead to healthy emotional, intellectual and physical development.There is a growing appreciation of the importance of a parent education in the context of early childhood education and care services.

• Manipulate small objects with increased control

• Hold crayon with thumb and fingers instead of fist

• Manipulate clay by making balls, snakes, etc.

• Jump forward many times without falling

Emotional Development• As their dexterity and

self-help skills improve, 3-year-olds become more independent

• Show some understanding of moral reasoning (exploring ideas about fairness and good or bad behavior)

• Express more awareness of other people's feelings

• Many 3- 5 year olds believe that anything that happened in the past happened yesterday, and anything that will happen in the future will happen tomorrow.

• At the age of 3-5, most children understand the concept of time in broad terms.

• A child at this age has a vivid imagination but has difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality.

• By these little helpful facts you can learn how to be a better parent, big brother or a better child care provider.

Enduring Understandings

• Discipline means to teach. Teaching methods need to remain positive and developmentally appropriate for the toddler.

We Have Learned Through Service

• “I love the time we took out to go to the Salvation Army and read to them on Dr. Seuss day. We went again and played with play dough. This is the best class I’ve ever had and I really enjoyed these years, learning these stages.”

Multicultural Enduring Understandings

• Parenting practices are influenced by one’s culture.

• Skills can be developed to demonstrate sensitivity to and respect for the uniqueness of individuals within various cultural groups.

Enduring Understandings

• Child development is the scientific viewpoint of issues related to children, yet sensitivity is important to the study because parenting is inherently personal and unique.

• The single most influential factor in a child’s development is the family unit.

• Families vary greatly, but strong families exist worldwide and provide support for their members.
