planned activity for a small group of toddlers Experience: sing the song Row, Row, Row your boat and do the actions

Focus children: Melissa

Rationale: The action song experience relates to my observation of Melissa on 31/10/2017 engaging in dancing and moving with the song Five little pumpkins with the teacher. This experience will provide an opportunity for her to continue her interest and enjoyment to engage in the action song.

Objectives: For Melissa to listen and respond to sounds in rhymes by listening and doing actions to respond to the song Row, Row, Row your boat (Outcome 5.2).

For Melissa to continue to practice their ability to mirror, repeat and practice the action of me by singing the song Row, Row, …show more content…

I will encourage Melissa to do the movements with me.

When I sang this song to Melissa, she was able to sing some of the lyrics as she is good at language. I sang the song slowly to teach her the hand motions, encouraged her to do the same hand motions with me. After I sang the song for twice, Melissa was able to do the hand motions with the song.
The first objective was achieved as Melissa listened and responded to the action song. The second objective was achieved as Melissa was able to mirror and repeat my hand motions and we did hand motions for the action song together.

My teaching strategies were effective as the learning objectives were achieved and the flow of the activity was maintained. Melissa did the movements with me and she enjoyed this experience.

For the follow-up activity, I will sing this song to a small group of toddlers, ask toddlers to pair up to do the movement for the song together. They will need to hold their partner’s hands and row when I sing “Row, row, row your boat”, which provide opportunities for them to experience the benefits and pleasures of shared learning exploration (Outcome 4.4).

Early childhood teachers should be familiar with individual child’s sleep, rest and relaxation needs, adopt effective sleep and rest strategies to ensure toddlers feel secure and is safe at the centre (Outcome 1.1)。

Early childhood teachers should ensure that toddlers are placed on their back to rest and are then allowed to roll over and find individual toddler’s sleeping positions (Peters, 2011). Provide verbal cues five minutes before transitions. For example, provide verbal cues to Melissa by saying “Melissa, you have five more minutes to play and after that you go to sleep.”

Listen to the individual child’s verbal and non-verbal language, get to know what they want to communicate.

Help the toddlers to take off their pants and shoes before going to sleep. There were only two toddlers playing outdoors at one o’clock. Melissa needs to drink milk before going to sleep, so I brought the milk bottle for her and asked her to sit down when she was drinking her milk bottle. I provided verbal cues several minutes before I brought them to the cot room. Both of them were familiar with the routine so they transited to their nap time smoothly. I brought them to the cot room and helped them to take off their pants and shoes. After that I walked them to the cot room and placed them on their backs in their

It is unsafe to let a child go to sleep sucking on a bottle and cuddling a teddy. The reason this is not ok to give a bottle before bed time is because it can cause serious tooth decay. Leaving a soft toy in the cot for children under the age of two years is unsafe as it can increase the chance of suffocation. (Peters, 2010) 2. Identify three sleep practices in the scenario that would contravene a service’s safe sleep policy or be impossible to implement in an early childhood setting.

When reading the parenting blog “Confessions of a secret co-sleeping mom,” you quickly realize that the mother is aware of the possible safety concerns many pediatricians have expressed with co-sleeping. The author admits to lying to her family pediatrician when asked if the baby sleeps in their crib. “infants should sleep in the same bedroom as their parents – but on a separate surface, such as a crib,” according to a new policy statement released by the American Academy of Pediatrics. “I look my doctor right in the face and say “Oh my baby sleeps in his crib” (Suzanne, blogger).

In his 1968 masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey" Stanley Kubrick predicted the problem that might arise if the humankind continues developing complex technology without understanding what consciousness is and how it is created. Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, the leading science fiction author of that time, wrote the script in which they, fifty years ahead of their time, foresaw the problem that preoccupies many scientists today: should we continue developing computers and artificial intelligence without sufficient understanding of the material origin of consciousness? In this Kubrick's cult movie, a spaceship is controlled by a computer Hal 9000. Hal is supposed to be faultless, but during the voyage it starts to show signs of its own consciousness.

Thus, when a child shows distress they should be immediately removed from the study. In addition to this, the findings show that after the test, a lot of the children discontinued wetting the bed, taking a bottle and there were no negative changes in sleep pattern (Bain et al, 1958). Therefore this may have impacted the psychological field as the features of the experiment may have lead to these neutral or positive changes in

Blinds and Patience When reflecting on their toddler years, many people have stories about their strange and funny antics. My toddler years are no exception. One of the funniest and most regretted incidents involved nap time, a set of blinds covering the window, and me, a young child as restless as a family who have just finished a long road trip in the car. I would refuse to take naps, and instead I would entertain myself by reaching for the different objects I could see from my bed.

Co-sleeping is a hotly debated topic between mothers and scholars alike. Should children and infants sleep with their parents or should they sleep in their own space? Many people believe that co-sleeping is vastly superior and has numerous benefits, short-term and long-term, while others believe that co-sleeping is dangerous. A large divide between those who are for co-sleeping and those who are against it comes from cultural differences in the Western world and everywhere else. I will be arguing that co-sleeping is natural and that parents should be encouraged to co-sleep with their children by pediatricians and parent educators.

“In order for babies to feel secure and relate to other babies they need what is called a primary caregiver and continuity of care. Free play in a safe, developmentally appropriate environment with peers is another basic requirement. The Pikler approach makes a case for a firm surface where babies can be with each other and free to move. At Pikler Institute, caregivers place babies who are past the newborn stage on their backs in a playpen large enough for a group. In the play area a small number of very simple play objects lie within reach.
