Childhood

Before I express these thoughts and feelings, I must say to anyone referenced in this that I am not bitter what so ever. I am not blaming anything on anyone. Your part of this is just your part of this. We are all sinners and we all have sinned against someone in some way. That being said, this is my tale of growth. I fought obesity since like the age of 10 years old. As a young kid I was very skinny, and this garnered the playful yet harmful jabs from my older brother and aunt. I don't think…

Franklin D Roosevelt's states “ We can't build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future” (p:1 Melinda Bossenmeyer Ed. D). He is suggesting that we can not make the future perfect, but however; we can prepare the youth for the future. Mr. Roosevelt saw a trend of events happening within children, called child obesity. Studies show that the U.S is growing, and about 1 out of 3 kids now considered obese (p:1 Mary L. Gavin). The obesity rate among children increased,…

The prevalence of childhood obesity has more than tripled from 1971 to 2011. About one in the three American children and teens are overweight or obese. Fast food marketing is to blame for the epidemic due to the fact that it preys on the innocence of children and their vulnerability to external influences. Although fast food endorsements are necessary for the survival of the industry, these advertisements are encroaching on every public space to specifically target children and teens. Thus,…

a. I believe our lesson was very developmentally appropriate for our 4 & 5 year olds. Phonological awareness is a precursor to reading. Many of the children in our class will be off to Kindergarten this year, so getting them to recognize the beginning sounds of words is developmentally appropriate. 2. How effective was your introduction of the lesson? Be specific. Don’t say “It went well.” (2 points) • We could have been a little more effective in our introduction of our lesson. The…

In the meantime, Williams and Fromberg (2012) suggest that a central issue between public policy and early childhood education for children between the age’s birth and eight is redefining the nation’s public responsibility to provide an equitable and rational national policy for early learning. More so, these children will spend a large amount of their time in early childhood learning environments. In 2012, it was reported by Child Trends Data Bank that someone other than the parents of…

grow and become of age to attend school, they will begin to learn so many important things from their early childhood education. Child hood education teaches these kids to think outside of the box and to be different. Childhood education helps children to bring out the child’s social skills, emotional skill, and also the way they physically learn. When a child is done with their early childhood education, they should all have been taught the basics. Kids need to have learned the correct social…

belief about teaching children has changed to working with children. I have discarded my naïve beliefs (Brownlee, et al., 2000), and have developed my early childhood education philosophy on the theories and philosophies I have studied so far. I shall critically examine three aspects of my early childhood philosophy in this essay. My early childhood philosophy is based on my values and beliefs. I value aroha, honesty, respect, trust and patience in my life. Therefore, all these values are…

“pinpoint which positive behavior interventions are effective” (B.P., 2006, p.1). The reason why I decided to use this assessment tool is because it better support critical social-emotional skills and determine professional development needs. As early childhood educators we understand that social-emotional is an important part of children’s development. Therefore it is imperative that we provide them a high-quality environment that supports children’s development. Dimension of quality to…

contribute as professionals then they will perceive us as professionals. My career in early childhood education is important because I will be a building block in creating a brighter future. Maria Montessori once said, "Free the child 's potential, and you will transform him into the world." Montessori believed that with the right tools, any child can succeed. The purpose of a career in early childhood education is to give children those tools. It is not the teacher’s job to pound facts into a…
