    2386 Words  | 5 Pages

    His life began three weeks earlier than I was than he was expected. This was a result of me having high blood pressure, premature dilation of the cervix, and taking a late maternity leave. These problems led me to being on bed rest for the next two months after his birth. At the last prenatal check, Ivan was showing some signs of distress and the doctor decided to induce my labor. Ivan’s early arrival came on the 20th of August at 5:52 p.m. Ivan’s weight was around 5 pounds and had an Apgar score of 6.

  • Analysis Of My Virtual Child

    It has been shown that children are heavily influenced by their parents and the way they choose to raise their children. My Virtual Child gives people the opportunity to see the outcome of their child through the kind of parenting techniques they decided to use. With my virtual child, I employed an authoritative style of parenting, which means being involved while still allowing some independence, just as my parents have used on me. It was not until I saw the psychological analysis of my eight year old that I realized how much I had been influencing my child, Delilah. Her verbal, mathematical, and visual-spatial abilities are at an extraordinary level. All of these skills progressed to where they are because of Delilah’s interest and my encouragement.

  • The Importance of Parenting Styles in Early Childhood Development

    1840 Words  | 4 Pages

    "When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they’re finished, I climb out.” – Erma Bombeck. Early childhood is the most rapid period of development in a human life. Although individual children develop at their own pace, all children progress through an identifiable sequence of physical, cognitive, and emotional growth and change. A child who is ready for school has a combination of positive characteristics: he or she is socially and emotionally healthy, confident and friendly; has good peer relationships; tackles challenging tasks and persists with them; has good language skills and communicates well; and listens to instructions and is attentive (World Bank 1). The interactive influences of genes and experience literally shape the architecture of the developing brain and the most important ingredient is the nature of a child’s engagement in the relationship with his or her parents (Bales 1). The parenting style of a mother or father has a strong and direct impact on the sequence of development through which the child progresses on the way to becoming a physically, mentally and emotionally healthy individual.

  • Jackson's Physical Environment Analysis

    1676 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Jackson’s physical environment I observed many things that inspire his emergent literacy development. Some things that I saw were bookshelves in both the family den and Jackson’s room. I took a look at the books on both bookshelves and they were organized quite well. Jackson knows exactly which books he can read and where to find them. Another thing that I saw were puzzles. Jackson was working on a Star Wars puzzle very quietly and was focused on finishing it before his bedtime. I was able to see the display of many pieces of art that Jackson had completed either at art class or in school hanging in the kitchen. Something else that I saw in Jackson’s physical environment included educational toys. For example, I observed Jackson playing with a bunch of musical instruments’. He was playing on a toy guitar and banging on the drums. A lot of comfortable chairs like beanbags and his own personal mini recliner were also available for Jackson to sit in and read.

  • Physical and Motor Development

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    Physical and motor development are two similar but different areas that describe child development. Physical development encompasses all of the various changes a child's body goes through. Those changes include height, weight, and brain development. Motor development is the development of control over the body. This control would involve developing reflexes such as blinking, large motor skills like walking, and fine motor skills like manipulating their fingers to pick up small objects like Cheerios. It is important to objectively study physical and motor development in children to gain knowledge on what characteristics are considered typical for each age and stage of development. This will enable me to be aware of when a child or children are developing at an irregular pace, and devise recommendations or find experiences and other resources that can aid in stimulating their development and to work towards closing achievement gaps. This particular assignment was to observe the selected child and reaffirm the importance of studying physical and motor development, and to develop ideas on how to involve it in my work as an early childhood professional.

  • Parental Involvement in Child's Education

    2556 Words  | 6 Pages

    Telling your child's hobbies, pets, as well as learning difficulties and strengths will provide for a more intimate school year (Spencer, 2001). One of the ways in which parents play a critical role in their children?s social development is by encouraging their interactions with other youth (Updegraff, 2001). If children are able to work in group settings, this will not only help the child get along with other students, but it will also lessen the amount of disruptions in class thereby making it easier for the teacher to teach (Barbour, 1997). Parents need to stress the importance of little things your child can do to smooth the teacher?s day and help himself learn, such as listening when classmates answer questions, writing his name on assignments, and keeping his desk and work area tidy (Spencer, 2001). Parents can help your children avoid interrupting. Teachers love enthusiasm but yelling out too often will cause unneeded disruptions. Explain the good times to speak, such as when the teacher is inviting questions and the not so good times, such as when the teacher is talking to another student or giving directions (Spencer, 2001). Practicing these classroom manners will help with less disruptions and a better teaching and learning environment. Parental involvement promotes emotional growth of a child. The attachment between a child and parent is a long-lasting, emotional, learned response. It is the attachment in a parent and child relationship that forms the basis for a child to trust or not to trust their environment (Gestwicki, 2000). This proper attachment is essential for a child to trust other adults, such as their teachers and also to trust other students and make friends.
