Education is at the forefront of most new parent’s minds, which is why there is so much pressure on choosing a good preschool. Parents want to make sure that they give their children the best possible start to education, in order to create a solid foundation for success late in life. However, in society today, expectations placed on preschoolers are becoming more demanding, a trend that could have many negative consequences on the development of children. This idea is discussed in the article The New Preschool is Crushing Kids written by Erika Christakis. Christakis interconnects the audience, speaker, and subject as well as uses appeals to logic, emotion, and credibility to craft a strong and effective argument about how preschool has started to place too many expectations on preschoolers.
Both class discussions and chapter 5 in the book “Education the Practice and Profession of Teaching” has allowed me to gain knowledge of historical and current trends in policies and practices that affect early childhood and childhood educators because in the reading the authors speak in depth about social reform with in education, they tell about how policies were created and how they influence our education now for example in the text there is mention of attendance laws that protected children by educating them and keeping them from working. From the reading I also learned about ESEA which made federal government responsible, this act provided funds for poverty program as for current programs Bush’s passes NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT which
1. What information did I know prior to reading information presented within the chapter? Prior to reading chapter one I can remember learning about PL 94-142, This is the education for all Handicapped Children Act, this law was put in place to order that all children with special needs receive service within the public schools. After reading chapter two one thing that I already knew was that everyone has a desire to know if there child is developing at a normal rate. One thing I knew prior to reading chapter eleven was how to conduct and effective parent conference.
In this assignment, I will develop a list of the social issues identified in Chapter 14 (Santrock, 2014). I will identify how I can use my knowledge gained about families to enhance, nurture, or strengthen the social/human capacity of my community and neighborhood which will in turn support it economically. In Chapter 14 of our Child development textbook (Santrock, 2014), social issues that can be identified are child maltreatment, gay and lesbian parents, socioeconomic variation, ethnicity, working parents, divorced families, and stepfamilies. I can use the knowledge I gained about families to help with the social/human capacity in my neighborhood by engaging citizens in understanding our fellow individuals and their situations.
During this developmental interview, I chose to conduct an observation/interview study with my one of my cousin’s child. This child is a 4 year old girl and will be identified as “child K” in relation to her first name. Her parents had no problem letting me interview her, but I had them stay in the same room as us. The purpose of this interview was to observe the child’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. I observed her behavior and gave her several tests to show how well she has progressed.
2/9/17 I enjoyed learning about the first chapter in the Childhood voyages in Development by Spencer A. Rathus. I feel like there was a lot to learn about the early childhood development. Early childhood development goes through four different stages, infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence. Researches study child development in order to gain an understanding of the child mind. There have been many different researchers who developed theories about the how the mind works.
Chapter 8 Lines After inventing Kindergarten's solid forms (Gifts 1-6) and planes (Gift 7) , Froebel moved on to investigations of lines, which call for informal as well formal observations and analyses of concrete objects. However, Froebel's movement from concrete toward abstract thinking is bridged by the Connected Slat (Gift 8) representing elements of surface and edge in a tangible form, where the plane gives way to the line, as an object that can be seen, handled and readily understood by children. The development of lines as boundaries of planes as outlines of geometric figures continues through child play in Froebel’s Kindergarten encompassing Slat Interlacing (Gift 9), Stick Laying (Gift 10), Ring Laying (Gift 11) and Thread (Gift 12), all subjects of the embodied line.

This tier of development also deals with the relationships that students from with each other. Some of the feelings that they can manifest are happiness, sadness, anger and stress. Some of these stem from how the child grew up and how he child relates to the family as well as the society (Faulkner, 2005). Another important thing is the ability of a child to empathize.

Emotional development is a wide range of emotions that makes up that child. Emotional development is how children start to understand who they are and what they are feeling. I noticed the emotional strand when one child started to get very frustrated with himself. This was him showing that he was upset and trying to problem-solve the situation. As he was showing self-management in himself and problem-solving it tells us that he has a high skill of emotional control.
Child development is a field of developmental psychology that deals with the different changes seen in a child cognitively and biologically. In medical terms, it is defined as “The processes by which a child acquires skills in the areas of social, emotional, intellectual, speech and language, as well as physical development including fine and gross motor skills.
