Decent Essays
In October in the Toddler Lab, the children explored and discovered many new things! Some of the centers that children loved exploring were the pumpkin patch, connect sand in the sensory table, multiple science experiments which included a sink or float activity as well as vinegar and baking soda. The children also explored their creative sides by drawing in their journals, finger painting and coloring their own leaves! The toddlers also got to go on a field trip in early October to the HPER center and Frost arena here on campus!
The children have been working on their self-help skills by picking up their toys, washing their hands and hanging up their coat.
The teachers are excited to continue to get to know their children over the last

    In the older toddler room (24 months), most of the children are beginning potty training. However, those children who are still in diapers, are changed in the bathroom with the child standing next to the caregiver changing them. This is so the caregiver can change a child and still watch the other children in the room. The caregiver always washes their hands and wears gloves when changing a child. The older toddler room also has plenty of snacks to the children, but also the children bring plenty of food from home provided by the parents.…

    Observation: Rise Program Physical Setting Rise is a beautiful facility. All of the windows looking into the classrooms and looking outside are my favorite because they provide light, openness, and a sense of connection throughout the whole building. The commons is also a great area. It is large and open for all of the kids to spread out and explore their surroundings, while engaging in gross motor activities, such as going down a slide, riding a tricycle, or jumping on a trampoline.…

    Introduction: How Children Succed p.xiii&xv In this introduction I was surprised on how they are having three year olds filling out worksheets and completing drills on letter and number recognition (Tough, 2013, p.xiii). I did notice when my son went to transitional kindergarten that what was expected from him was what a kindergarten back then would be learning. When he went to kindergarten he was expected to know more than what I remember was required before.…

    This article directly relates to the physical development of infancy and toddlerhood that is being discussed in class. Under this chapter, perceptual development in infants is highlighted. We learn the effect of perceptual narrowing on speech in infants. They are able to tune into their native language, and they lose their ability to discriminate non-native speech sounds. We also discussed the perceptual narrowing of vision in class, which is what was investigated in the article.…

    I had the pleasure to interview two children for this interview assignment project. I interviewed my neighbor Gaby, who is 11 years old and my other neighbor Collin, who is 8 years old. Piaget acknowledged that some children may pass through the stages at different ages than the averages noted above and that some children may show characteristics of more than one stage at a given time (Koocher). After interviewing these two I believe this quote is a true statement because Gaby is 3 years older than Collin and during her questionnaire she had more intellectual abilities on the experiments than him. I assume if Gaby was Collin’s age she would have less knowledge on the experiments due to complex of understanding of the world.…

    Observational Study of Infant and Caregiver An observational study is a form of naturalistic observation, “in which some naturally occurring behavior is observed without intervention in the situation” (Feldman, R.S., 2015, p. 27).

    Source Article Experiment #6, Baby Boredom, is based on a longitudinal study conducted by Catherine S. Tamis-LeMonda and Marc H. Bornstein (1989). In this study, the experimenters wanted to determine whether infants’ habituation and mothers’ encouragement of attention at 5-months had any effect on language comprehension, pretense play, and representational competence at 13-months. The experimenters collected a sample of 37 infant-mother pairs (19 male, 18 female infants) from private pediatric groups in New York. All infants were term at birth, had no significant health issues, and came from middle and upper socioeconomic households (Tamis-LeMonda & Bornstein 1989). The infants were observed in a home and lab setting at 5-months, when children’s…

    Love isn't an experiment Experimental children are the ones who are born first and if a parent does something wrong with that kid then they can fix their mistake on the next kid. When a second child is born they get all of the attention, and the parents are paying attention to the second kid and then they realize that the first kid is there too. People wake up and smell the roses! The second child is this perfect thing and nothing ever goes wrong with them because parents know what to do with the mistakes of their first kid. That's what I am, I am an experimental kid.…

    I feel it is important to note that these programs are very new and have not been established for long, so although a lot of their accommodations for children do not meet the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale, at least when I observed, it is understandable why. However, the infant and toddler rooms had great outdoor space for gross motor play and is located by a nature trail surrounded by trees and other natural life. I felt this influenced the children to be more explorative, and the teachers did a great job pointing out educational instances while they experienced them…
