...Social-emotional development Strong social-emotional development underlies all later social, emotional, and academic success.” In an engaging, reader-friendly style, this NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct describes developmentally appropriate guidance in the encouraging classroom. With this approach, teachers think beyond the kind of conventional classroom discipline that aims merely to keep children in line—and often fails even to do that! Teachers are to help children develop lifelong skills such as mutual acceptance and cooperation, creative and peaceful problem-solving strategies, and acceptable ways to express difficult emotions. 1. Patience and Understanding are used with guidance; teachers are firm when needed, but firm and friendly, not firm and harsh. 2. With misbehavior or mistaken behavior teachers do well to think of a child’s age in terms of months rather than years. They understand that young children are just beginning to learn difficult life skills that may take a lifetime to master. 3. A partnership between the teacher, the child, and the family is necessary for guidance to be effective.

...Artina Robinson December 8, 2013 EDU 210 Nancy Winship A Night at Tijuanna Flats Is a Sunday evening around 5:06 PM. I pulled into the Tijuana Flats parking lot. As I entered into the restaurant I noticed that it is not as full as it normally would be. As I ordered my food I noticed two parties sitting at the table. The first party was a young couple who looked to be in the 20s and the other party was a family of 7. Within the family there were five children, 3 boys and 2 girls. The boys look to be between the ages of 5 to 12 and the girls look to be between the ages of 1 and 8. The children dressed like typical 21st-century kids, the boys Graphic T-shirts and shorts and the girls multiple colored top with fitted shorts. As the family waiting for their food I noticed that the oldest and the youngest boy were playing on the tablet together and the oldest girl and the middle boy were swapping an iPhone and a tablet amongst each other. Whatever game they were playing must have been very interesting because when their food came they were eating and playing their devices at the same time. Overall the 4 children seem to be pretty happy and enjoy each other's company. As I was eating my food I noticed the youngest boy yell out "oh yeah I shot him right in the butt ". I looked to see what reaction the parents would give but to my surprise they didn't even flinch. The mother continued to play and feed the one-year-old and the father continued to watch the reviews of the football...

...Child Observation Report Lecturer: Dr. Stephanie L. Knight Observer: Afra Mohamed Taha Observant: 3-4 year old boy Topic: Entire Observation Setting: Airport. A family consists of a father, a mother, three daughters and a son. Goal: Observing the boy to see his entire behavior, in addition to his reaction to reinforcement and punishment. Time: 52 minutes Method used: Systematic Observation (Specimen Record and Event Sampling) Data collection: This report is based on a “Systematic Observation” (Berk, 2003, p.44). I designed a simple form to record the data based on specimen record and event sampling in which the researcher records a description of the particular entire steam of behavior, in addition to all instances of particular behavior during a specified time period. (Berk, 2003, p.44-45) Analysis and Discussion: According to Piaget Cognitive Development Theory (Berk, 2003, p.133), this child is in the preoperational stage (2-7 years), and he behaves normally. When the father left he was upset. His mother asked him to sit still in one of the chairs. He was lying in an arm chair, moving his legs up and down. Then he put his feet on the armrest of the chair next to him, where his sister was sitting. He repeated this behavior several times in attempt to hit his sister. That made his mother tell him off. However, he still didn't respond. Then he put his...

...Events in history have been a good resource to learn from its mistakes, wars, struggles, hardships and to have compassion for the human life. In the Museum of Tolerance in the exhibits of The Holocaust, I experience the pain, the suffering, the oppression and hate the Jews community went through. The many lives that were murder and lost under the hands of people, groups and nations that portrait Jews as the evil race. During my visit, I was lucky to meet a holocaust survivor, Mrs. Elisabeth M., she shared that she had a wonderful life growing up, full of music, love, family and happiness. Elisabeth was one out of four children, an older brother, a sister and a little brother. Elisabeth expressed that she was close to her family, neighbors, she and her family always welcome strangers to their home and made them feel like family. She expressed that everyone she knew that was not Jews turned their back on her family and her. She shared that she would never guess that her neighbor and friends would hurt her family and hate her so much. Elisabeth expressed that everything she was taken away by the Nazis and the Nazi death camps. She describes her pain to losing her family, friends, house, spirit and herself during this time period. One event that stood up to me the most during her speech was the death of her little brother. She blames herself for the death of her brother. He was 13 years old and was not feeling well after arriving at Auschwitz concentration camp. Elisabeth...

...The sculptures in my community represent more than just art. The sculptures show the community's history, and give tangible evidence to something you can only imagine. I feel that the sculptures decorate a town as much at they tell the history. Danville would feel even more run down and sad looking if it were not for the occasional sculpture that decorates the streets. I believe that more are needed in order to clean up the look of the city, but the current amount is a good start. The sculptures help me imagine a time when Danville was a popular place to be. A time where the city was full of culture and importance. I do not believe that the sculptures in Danville are a waste of money. Each and every piece of art defines the town and makes...

... I was always interested with dinosaurs when I was young. I saw how each was unique, they all had interesting traits and ways of surviving that aren't commonly seen. As I got older I realized I probably wasn't going to get Jurassic Park any time soon, but the animals we had today weren't too bad, I just needed to search a little harder. I found out about animals like the horseshoe crab, most commonly considered that old flat animal you sometimes see at the zoo. I was more impressed by it than the colorful tigers and flamingos, because as I learned about it I found its amazing potential and how unique it was. The horseshoe crab has no white blood cells to fight off bacteria, instead the blood clumps together to make a thick substance that stopped the bacteria from spreading. Hospitals needed a convenient way to check if shots were sterile and safe to administer, and they used horseshoe crab blood to check for bacteria, because it would clump if it wasn't. This amazed me, such a common and underestimated animal has a trait that allows it to be used to save countless lives every day. After that discovery I was hooked, I have honestly spent hours online researching what people knew about the strangest animals documented and wondering what else was out there waiting to be discovered. I found that if it could be imagined, there is probably an animal that has it or does it, everything from the immortal jellyfish, who is more self explanatory, to the mantis...

...For my STEM outreach, I volunteered at the Wisconsin Science Festival. This event was located in the Discovery Building on campus. I was volunteering at the WISE table with other WISE members and peer mentors. During my outreach, I used a Makey makey to create an electrical current by drawing arrows on a piece of paper connected with alligator clips. When children came to the table, I showed them how the current works so they could play the piano, bongos, or Tetris just by pressing a sheet of paper with graphite on it! Although the outreach was meant to teach children about science, I also benefited from this experience. It was interesting to think back to the time when I was the curious child asking about circuits. In life, you should reflect...

...You mentioned that you are a social worker. I am a teacher, and I believe that our jobs require us to possess the same qualities. Being in the helping field, all of our strengths allow us to work effectively with various populations. I agree with your challenge about furthering our education on different cultures. For example, I have a student in my class who is from China. At the beginning of the year, he did not want to engage with the other students. He appeared sad and lonely. I believe he felt scared and misunderstood. I did some research about children from Chinese cultures living in America. I learned to be genuinely patient with him and encouraged the other students to be helpful and friendly towards him. Having my students make the effort in developing friendships with this boy made such a difference. By Christmas, he had a few friends, appeared much happier, and started to participate more in class. Regarding theories, CBT has always been my go-to intervention. It is the one that I feel the most comfortable with. I, too, would like to feel as comfortable when applying other interventions and techniques with future clients. As we have been told, there is no “one theory fits all”. Thanks for sharing. ~Renée Hi Deborah! Crisis intervention is an excellent technique to use with Dorothy. I am sure the flooding disaster made a profound impact on her emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Dorothy is already dealing with the trauma of losing all of her belongings...

...Tierani Richardson Content: Group two did their presentation today over assessment. I learned that the reason a child with autism goes through so many screenings is because ASD (autism spectrum disorder) has such a broad spectrum. So, naturally, testing would need to be done regularly to properly diagnose a child. I also learned that broadband screenings are done at 9, 18, and 24 months of age. Also, I learned that the M-CHAT-R is the main screening device used for ASD. I liked the comment “All we get is a snapshot of the child in that moment, so it is important to talk with parents and include their opinions, perceptions, and concerns.” I think this definitely sums up the importance of including parents into the assessment process and how assessment is not a sure-fire procedure. Including the parents also gives you a look into the patient’s daily lives and lets you have a full family approach to therapy. The group also mentioned several tests for assessment of ASD including the CCC-2 (Children’s Communication Checklist), EVT-2 (Expressive Vocabulary Test), and the CASL (Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language). Whittni also included several ASHA recommendations for assessing children with ASD which included minimizing distractions, having the person explore the equipment, using the persons preferred language (spoken, sign, AAC), and being a flexible clinician. In addition, I learned the importance of ongoing assessment in monitoring regression and allowing clinicians to...

...Goal 1: Brandon will stabilize his mood and behavior at home. Brandon was in a good mood and happy to see the QP when she arrived for the session. Brandon focused on stressors such as arguing with his siblings, being fussed at by his mother, and hearing his parents argue. Brandon stated, "we go in the room if they are arguing and play" when Brandon is fussed sometimes he cries and goes and hide in his father bedroom or he gets aggressive back, but he does contribute stress to the conflict with his siblings. Brandon observed the QP role-playing with him to show to disagree politely by using a calm, polite tone of voice, use "I-Message", explain any details, and thanked Brandon for listening and Brandon appeared smiling while reviewing these steps. Brandon listened as the QP explained to make an assertive complaint he must stay calm, decide on a time to talk, look the person in the eye, say how you feel with assertive "I-Messages", make your request, ask if they'll do it, and thank them for listening. Brandon reflected on fighting, taking toys from his siblings, and being mean to them in conflict situations. Brandon focused on how he should respond by identifying the problem which is not sharing with his siblings then identify how he feels which is angry, then decide if he wants to resolve which then Brandon takes the toy or start hitting at his siblings which is not the way to resolve conflict. Brandon established that he is supposed to use his words and seek him from an...

...For my observation, I chose my niece Chevie who is 24 months old. I thought that her birthday would be a great opportunity to observe her interactions with adults and other children her age during a festive gathering. It did not disappoint and I feel like I was able to gain significant insight into the behaviors of this age group. The observation took place at Chevie’s home with her parents, grandparents, other adult family members and friends and 5 other children approximately Chevie’s age. The home was decorated in a festive manner for an adolescent female in a Disney theme featuring Minnie Mouse. There is a pink Minnie Mouse cake with matching cupcakes and party favors. A wide array of food is available including an assortment...

Pernet And Child Observation Ben Brown April 7, 2002 Report Child And Parent Behavior Observation I am almost always surrounded by the interactions between children and their parents. I hear it at my work, I hear it in restaurants, but most of all I hear it at my house. My mother owns a daycare and every night I listen parents being hit by a barrage of questions. When children are being picked up they always have a couple of questions for their parents. Children are always asking about the meal for the night or whether they can go over to a friend's house or have some body over. Every night I see 12 different children with twelve different parents and it seems that each parent acts differently then the next. When I thought of observing the children that attend my mothers daycare I decide that I should observe the interactions between the daycares "Problem Child" and his mother. The boy that I chose to observe seemed to have no respect for anyone or anything. He often made obvious lies and played practical jokes that physically hurt the other children. On the Friday night that I observed him and his mother...
