Approximately 60% of U.S. children aged five and younger have spent time in a child care setting (Wohlgenant, et al). Also children of that same age are at greater risk for food-borne illness because of their developing immune systems (Koehler, 129). The majority of infections in Daycare centers are respiratory infections, which are mainly caused by viruses such as rhinovirus, bocavirus, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. These viruses are all part of the common cold (Fairchok et al.,…
Involvement in Child-Care Tasks” by Brian Knop and Karin L. Brewster in Journal of Marriage and Family, in 2006-2010 of the Great Recession family dynamics changed. Men were losing their jobs and women were the main income providers for the home, “Men’s and women’s behaviors within families changed as well. Women became the primary wage earners in an increasing share of families,” (Knop & Brewster, 2015) While fathers were out of work and daycare expensive, to save money fathers became the…
somervillechildcare.com.au - Why Should Story Telling Be Encouraged in Child Day Care? Story telling is an effective way to stimulate the minds of young children. When they listen to a story without pictures as props, they imagine the characters, events and scenery the way they want instead of an illustrator's interpretation of them. In addition, children will recite the stories they learn in their own unique way as they remember them. While they are not always accurate with their recollections…
I have chosen to address case #6 about “[Indigenous] Children in Child Welfare Care” (Schormans, 2016). I chose this case because of my interest in the unique history and experiences of indigenous people living in Canada, with regards to the field of social work. I am also interested in examining the historical context of indigenous children and government intervention in relation to current forms of child welfare care in Canada. This interest is largely sparked by my own observations while…
Breastfeeding is an important practice for a mother and her baby psychologically, economically, and in terms of health. Thus, the practice needs to be done exclusively within the first six months of a child’s life and slightly extended to the time the child begins to take supplementary foods. When mothers are able to adequately breastfeed, the rate at which children contract infectious disease, develop obesity, and other forms of health disorders, significantly goes down. More so, the risk of…
Trump’s Child Care Proposals Five aspects of the president’s child care plan drive its inequities. 1. The plan heavily relies on a new above-the-line deduction that is intrinsically regressive, driving larger benefits to higher-income households. The value of a deduction equals the expenses deducted multiplied by the taxpayer’s marginal tax rate. Because higher-income households face higher marginal tax rates, a deduction is worth much more for wealthier taxpayers per dollar spent on child…
1. Recall that the Mackay Doctrine grants employers the right to hire replacement workers during an economic strike. Child Care Service Inc. (CCSI) indicated that it would replace striking employees by inverse seniority. Does this plan violate Section 8 (a)(1) of the NLRA or is it allowable under the Mackay doctrine? Child Care Service Inc. (CCSI) is a company with twelve locations. Eighty percent of its workforce are nonprofessionals who are represented by a local of the American Federation…
The section about child care issues in the United States today was interesting. I used to work at a daycare, so I know how expensive child care can be for a parent. I think it would be very hard to work full time, pay for child-care, and pay any other bills that had to be taken care of. It makes sense that money is a big issue for families deciding on the arrangements for child-care. I never really had a baby-sitter when I was growing up because I had two older brothers. They were always around…
Every child has the right to grow up in a safe, loving, and permanent home that provides and cares for them. Regardless of this, evidence shows that there is a continuing rise in cases of abuse and mistreatment. Every child deserves an equal opportunity to experience love and care; nor should they have to worry about abuse and threats of danger. Child Protective Services (CPS), a service that aims to prevent abuse and exploitation of children, acts as a lifeline for abused and mistreated…
made it a dilemma because of the emotional response it provokes in each party, both sides to the dilemma had valid points to consider and deliberate over. These characteristics of each interpretation shape the dimensions: The indigenous parent and child have every right to be upset by the conversation that took place, they might believe they are not being respected as the traditional owners of the land, the staff talking about Australia day may have never really thought of how that day affects…
