Movie Analysis: Daddy Day Care

678 Words3 Pages

While observing children, whether in person at my job, or through a movie, it is not hard to relate it to what I learned in developmental psychology. The movie Daddy Day Care was interesting to watch because I could apply the information I learned to analyze the movie.
Throughout the beginning of the movie there were many inappropriate child care practices and activities. The lunch was not healthy for the children, they were eating candy and junk food. It was also not important to read a mission statement to the children. At such a young age, the children are not going to understand a mission statement. There were many other wrong moves made by the care providers, letting the children run around the house, giving money to the kid to stop screaming, riding the lawnmower, teaching the children to fight, and letting the kids make the house a disaster. Children need boundaries or completely chaos will break out.
There were two environmental influences that caused the children to act certain ways. One was the care providers, and the other was the place in which the children went to daycare. There was a night and day difference between the children that went to Daddy Day Care, and the children that went to the prep school. …show more content…

They consisted of lots of breakables, scissors, buckets on children's heads, no safety gates, lots of steps and levels, a beehive, many objects at eye level, and no door locks. When opening a day care, the house needs to be child proofed. The environment needs to be safe for the children. Anything that could cause children to get hurt is a liability issue. The Dads could prevent a lot of the safety hazards that were in the house. They could add door locks and gates, they can get rid of the beehive and all other breakables, they just had to be a little more careful with the surrounding objects in the

Kozol’s writing style leaves a great deal of interpretation to the reader. With that said I noticed a trend throughout the book. Kozol mentioned at least one or two of the three main factors for each child. The two main factors or policies that shaped these children’s lives were: housing, and education. In regards to education I see that these policies were more selective for these children.

Hidden Stereotypes There is one hard and very evident fact that exists in the world we inhabit; that fact is that stereotypes are as common as rain. A stereotype, as defined by bing.com, is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. They happen so often that we aren’t even aware that they occur. These atrocities appear in books, films, the news, and other worldwide forms of media.

The Breakfast Club The character I chose from the movie was John Bender. The reason I chose to write about him was because everyone at his school only saw his outward appearance and actions toward school and other things. He was also judged by what he is like on the outside or by what he seemed like. When people say him as more than a criminal is in saturday detention where he met people who seemed to be all perfect.

Within this thematic essay, I will inform the readers about how socialization, culture, and theory. My own work experience will be used to explain the importance of socialization, culture, and theory from a daycare teacher's point of view. From here I will establish how these three are interconnected, but I will also critique them through the readings given in the book with my own work experience. Communication applies because to teach or learn anything then there has to be communication. Take socialization and culture there has to be communicated so that someone who is learning to be a part of a society is socialized, but they cannot do that without immersing themselves in that culture as well which takes knowing how to communicate.

Gender roles and stereotypes are commonly known throughout society and continuously demonstrated as film as well. Through the work of director Judd Apatow, we can compare these stereotypes to the portrayal of gender in Knocked Up and identify how this film pokes fun at gender stereotypes. As we watch this film and follow the story line of Allison and Ben, we can see how Apatow reversed the gender roles of the two lead characters, Ben and Allison and how this effected the films meaning. In romantic, geek centered comedies such as “Knocked Up”, the roles of men and women are often reversed.

The 1800’s marked the foundation of modern era studies of child development. Prior, children were viewed as inherently evil (original sin view) and at some point as “a blank blanket” that inherits characteristics through child experiences (tabula rasa view) (Santrock, 2011). Comprehending child development is a pivotal aspect of Child and Youth Development (CYD). With an understanding of child development, Child and Youth Care (CYC) workers can improve their approaches to children.
