...of parenting. On the other hand research has provided a great deal of information as to what is not healthy and condusive to development and learning within the family system. There are several factors that can contribute to the development and family including parenting style, poverty, abuse, child care and education. There are four types of parenting that Feldman (2014) has identified as ciritual to the development of a child these four types of parenting styles have effects on their children. 1.) Authoritiarian parents tend to be controlling and very strict. These children are not allowed to express themselves or their opinions. The effects that this type of parenting has on the child is that they become hostile, withdrawn and lack social skills and are uneasy in their settings. 2.) Premissive parents tend to be very lax in rules and are inconsistent with their children. This places little limits or responsibility for themselves on how their children behave. These children face the effects of having a low self esteem and are also dependant. 3.) Authoritative parents are...

...fragmented. This fragmentation created a system where unnecessary cost and bureaucracy was incurred as agencies worked in isolation. This can lead to policies and procedures not being followed to the required standard expected within childcare practice. I will discuss the advantages and barriers to collaborative and integrated working and will identify how I believe this approach works well in my workplace. Main Body Integrated and Collaborative working within childhood practice is vital and it is imperative that all agencies are working together. This approach will prevent any loopholes or local arrangements developing and results in non-conformance with policies and procedures and leads to a disjointed system occurring which ultimately may result in Child poverty, Inequality, Social Exclusion, Educational Underachievement and Poor Health & Well Being. The Advantages of Collaborative working is that all staff implements a “Holistic Approach” with the child and families concerned to ensure that their needs are being met and enables adherence to the appropriate guidelines, policies and procedures from Inverclyde Council, Care Inspectorate and HIME. Another advantage to collaborative working is that parents develop closer relationships with the childcare provider and the other agencies during the stages of intervention, giving parents a...

... Introduction In 2000 the National Development Plan in Ireland allocated funding to the development of childcare with the specific aim of improving the quality, and increasing childcare provision and places through the introduction of a more coordinated approach. As a result thirty three County Childcare Committees, (CCC) were formed in the Republic of Ireland, each with an agreed set of objectives for the various county/areas. They are currently under the Office for the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (OMCYA) which was set up by the Government in December 2005. On Wednesday, 9th March 2011, the establishment of a new ‘Department of Children’ was announced, together with the appointment of a new minister. This is on the back of a general election in February 2011, where a new coalition government was voted into power. This means that there could be extensive changes as a new program for government is announced and introduced. As this Office will now become a government department in its own right, it reflects the prioritization that childhood development is now taking in modern Ireland. However as the new Department has not been fully established I will use the previous reference OMCYA for the purpose of this assignment. The South Dublin County Childcare Committee (SDCCC) was established in 2002 to coordinate the delivery of quality childcare (childbirth – 14 years) in South Dublin County. The SDCCC is a not for profit company limited by guarantee with...

...E1 and E2: • Describe three different types of settings which provide care and education for children in your area. • Describe how each of the types of setting identified in E1 aims to support children and their names. There are three different sectors which provide care and education for children in my area, these are: • Statutory Sector • Voluntary Sector • Private Sector Statutory provision: These are services that have to be available by law which are funded and provided by the government such as The Sure Start Programme, The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Children’s Centres, maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in primary schools. All of these services are free, as the child right to education. These services provide a wide range of education in different subjects. Nursery classes in lily’s primary school aims are to support and educate children by giving them the early education they need in order to be ready for primary school. Children are in small groups with the same age group as themselves; therefore they would build a relationship with other children as well as mix with others who have a different background/culture and beliefs. They usually start at 9am -11:30am or 1pm-3pm. Most nurseries have extended provisions to work with families such as after school clubs, breakfast clubs and even holiday clubs. Private provision: These services work independently and are profits making as they are funded through the fees. These services are not...

...Understand safeguarding of children and young people for those working in the adult sector (Level 5) Explain the policies, procedures and practices for safe working with children and young people. Policies and procedures are set in place to not only protect children and young people but also adults who work with them. It is vital that all professionals follow safe working practices to ensure that not only children are protected but also themselves. I have chosen to talk about in a childcare setting for this unit. An example is, if a disclosure is made by a child to a member of staff, it is vital that it is always taken seriously even if it is proven to be untrue or inaccurate. The child or young person should be listened to in a calm supportive manner which will allow them to talk freely and openly, it is also imperative that they are reassured about telling someone and how hard it must have been for them. Once the disclosure has been made and the child is calmed and secure, the employee or adult should inform the designated safeguarding officer, relevant notes should be written down in the child’s own words, including names that were mentioned, time and place of disclosure and place and background of the disclosure. In every setting there should be on display or on view a policy and procedure folder. This is there for everybody to look at and to show support of safe working. The policies and procedures are put in place to benefit staff, children, parents/carers and visitors...

...WORKING WITH ABUSED CHILDREN 1 / CHAPTER ONE The Abuse of Filipino Childr en Filipino families consider children as gifts from God (Bulatao 1975). They are persons who inspire love and affection and bring happiness and security in the twilight years of parents. Interestingly, children are seen as links to immortality because children pass on from one generation to another the family’s name, history, and heritage. Often, children are portrayed as being nurtured and properly attended to in their homes; however, Filipino children are not as secure and protected as they are ideally portrayed. The increasing number of street children who work on the streets or beg for alms from pedestrians and motorists belie such an idealized portrayal. Street children, among other things, are the most palpable reminder that all is not well with Filipino children. Reality reveals the many children who are denied even the most minimum of needs like food, love, nurturance, stability, security, and stimulating learning environment that will allow for their healthy development. Many Filipino children are rushed into maturity because early on in their lives, they are forced to contend with difficult problems and to take on adult roles and responsibilities. Media and popular and academic literature, more than any other time, has brought to our attention the plight of children, be they street children or not, who perform adult roles and who are in need of the basic components ...

...their children’s basic needs. Understanding human development requires an ecological approach that views the child in a home environment duly placed in a community context, where the family strives to meet their needs and obtain long-term resources” (p.56). The social problem created by poverty is a much larger than any debate ever address. Its remains an issue of serious social concern, addressing the truthfulness about poverty is crucial to assist in the policy making process. Because ignoring the cause of poverty only obscure the nature, extent, and causes of real material deprivation of those affected. For example, according to a study conducted by the Casrsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire, 2.6 million of America’s children live below poverty level. The cause is believed to be slowing down of the economy and the amount of jobs lost since the recession began in 2008. Another...

The balance I have with the family I do have is no more than going to work, visiting my parents or hanging out with my sister on occasion. I work more than anything dealing with my family life and other than those things I stay to myself. Overall, it is a fairly balanced between my career and family life. The current mindset of corporate America at the moment is conducive to the type of work and family arrangement I have. Due to the fact I have no family life, as in wife and children, I am much more flexible in how I balance my career and family life. The major reason why the current mindset of corporate America is conducive to a balanced career and family life for is me is simple in that I am single and if I have to work my parents and sister understand and doesn’t impact the relationship between us. Maternity Leave in the United States When approaching the subject of paid maternity leave, the United States tends to fall behind many countries around the globe. Many companies in the United States do allow a short maternity leave, which is often unpaid or requires mothers to expend what...

...husband and grad school to attend to, it does not give me a great deal of free time to pursue my lifetime goal of opening up my own day care center. Today, I have decided to turn that goal into a business finally with the support of my friends and family. However, I do need to obtain start-up capital from a lender or from an investor. My goal is to properly convince the lender or investor that opening up my own daycare center is more than just a dream and that I am very passionate about opening up this business and making it a very profitable one. I feel that I have a firm grasp of how to properly run a daycare center, the accounting practices that impact a daycare center as well as the controls needed to safeguard assets to ensure that we stay in compliance and adhere to all regulations set forth. My plan is to start this business inside my home with the name of “Babies & Beyond” located in Somerset, New Jersey, see how well I do, and then perhaps look to expand and build a complete center one day. You are an Entrepreneur! 1. Describe the type of business you have created including: A daycare center is a place for parents to drop their children off with ease and comfort knowing that their money is going to good use to keep their children safe while also providing the children with a curriculum for learning. Daycare programs provide supplementary childcare on a regular basis inside and outside of a child's home and are administered by adults other...

...Case Analysis 3 BA370 Employment Law Robert Harvey Lanier v. City of Woodburn In the case of Lanier v. City of Woodburn it is discussed if passing a preemployment drug test is required for the conditional of job offer as being constitutional. This case also discusses that a government employer is unable to demonstrate that it had a special need to drug-test a job candidate. Also whether or not drug testing should be used a determining factor in the hiring decision of a potential employee within the organization. Another important aspect to look at in the discussion of drug testing is whether or not if the job candidate can refuse drug testing without facing adverse employment consequences. There are many types of employment tests that many employers base their hiring and promotion decisions on. Employment tests are also used by employers within an organization to screen for fitness of the individual and whether or not they would be able to complete the job that would be required of them. Some of the these tests that completed by employers are designed to identify disqualifying characteristics such as illegal drug use, lack of truthfulness, intelligence, psychological, skill, and physical in order to complete any or all of the jobs that may be required of the employees in order to work for a particular organization. Not only is dug testing looked at in this case but also whether or not the Fourth Amendment is violated on the basis of unreasonable search and seizure that...
