...The article “Helping Babies Make Transitions” provides the reader with an understanding of dealing with change. When faced with challenges how can you handle it? When working with infants and toddlers it is very important to aid them in correct ways. Finding solutions and helping others is key. Included in the article is an example situation of how transitions affect a baby’s physical development. When a baby’s caretaker is changed it can tell things are not the same. The way they are held, fed, and even talked to. They do not know how to express their feelings towards the change which results in them acting out by physically crying or making a fuss. Sometimes a baby’s internal forces can cause the outbreaks ("Helping Babies Make Transitions" ). During periods of time when these transitions occur the article introduces a procedure that can be followed. This three-step process is to Observe, Ask, and Respond (OAR) and can be used to aid in helping babies undergo changes. Even though many programs have plans and set ups to help them with transitions sometimes unexpected things can happen. The observe, ask, and respond process with provide assistance to keep things running as smooth as possible for the facility, baby, and parents involved ("Helping Babies Make Transitions" ). The first step in the process is to observe. When doing observations it is extremely imperative to take in everything! When dealing with infants and toddlers, and their development there are so many...

...should be able to understand many of the words that are said to them every day. They usually say about 50 words, and some children can put two words together to make a little sentence. One child may talk better than another but; most children catch up quickly when they have caring adults who help. Twos talk about the things they sense- the things they hear, see, smell, taste, or touch- so teachers should talk about these things with them. Name people, things, and actions for Twos; Talk about what their senses tell them. Talk about the things that are part of their own world so that they will understand what you are talking about. Toddlers use the few words they say in many ways. They will use one word to mean a whole sentence. For example, a child may say “apple” to mean “there is an apple,” or “I want an apple.” One can figure out what Twos mean to say by closely watching what is going on in their world. Listen closely whenever they talk, and figure out what they mean. Then you can help them learn to say more by adding the rest of the words to their sentences. There are numerous theories about language acquisition, and they include 2 main schools of thought: 1. Nature- These...

...Title: Toddler Observation Project Syeda Hiba Qasmi Ivy Tech Community College INTASC Standard, Description and Rationale Standard# 6 Assessment The teacher understands and uses multiple methods of assessment to engage learners in their own growth, to monitor learner progress, and to guide the teacher’s and learner’s decision making. Name of Artifact: Toddler Observation Project Date: February 13, 2014 Course: EDUC 121 Brief Description: For this assignment, I observed a 36 months old child. This assignment will help me to better understand the toddler’s physical development process. In this observation the topics I have covered for the toddler’s observation are his physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. Further in this observation we are going to discuss whether the toddler’s growth is typical for his age group, the difference in his behavior, and the signs of independence, if any observed. Rationale: To document my understanding of Standard# 6, Assessment, I decided to include the Toddlers Observation Project because the toddler is observed under naturalistic observation in which the child engages in various activities and reacts to certain situations spontaneously, or naturally. This project will help me better understand the typical growth and development for toddlers of this particular age group. Introduction Toddler years (1 to 3) are a time of great growth and change, and a typical toddler will gain...

...Babies begin to develop and learn while in their mother’s womb, especially in the last three months. When they are born they can recognize familiar sounds and have developed some taste buds. The brain continues to grow until the age of 3, this is when the hard-wiring in the brain is almost complete. Babies develop better when they have the best learning experiences, this is important as it helps their brain to develop, and shape them into the people they will become later in life. The environment a child is exposed to, before birth and in the very early years will have a massive impact on how they develop holistically, as well as the attachment to the parent or carer. The curriculum is all the different opportunities, activities and experiences that is offered which help a child to develop in their learning. The different methods and contents used to support the child in their learning are vital. Babies are born with a natural instinct to play and learn naturally because of their curiosity and the people who actively engage with them to make sense of the world around them. There are 4 four key principles within the framework and are the main focus for all children’s learning and development. These are:- Rights of the Child, Relationships, Responsive Care Respect The main aim of the Pre-Birth to Three is to support everyone who work with and for our youngest children and their families, by adopting a long-term, flexible, and organic approach for the benefit...

...period of observation, Landyn interacted with several of her peers. She seemed excited when playing with others, and engaged in play with them. For example, when she noticed other children were playing with the drums or that other a classmate was playing with the bubble box, she went to go join them. By doing so, Landyn demonstrate levels of high social confidence and interaction skills amongst peers. She also conveyed to possess a good temperment. On occasion she would become upset for things such as hurting herself or having her sticker rip, but for the majority of the time observed, she was very level headed and engaged with others in a caring matter. For example, when one of her classmates was crying, Landyn dropped what she was doing and rushed over to the situation. Landyn shows a sense of empathy and general concern for those around her. She never got upset with any of her classmates, even when one of them was undoing he work of picking up the blocks. Rather than thrashing out, Landyn simply removed herself from the situation. Thus, demonstrating a good temperament and an ability to engage well with...

...includes a detailed description of the people and behaviors I witnessed, in addition to inferences that I made based on my observations. What time and day of the week was I there? How did this affect my observations? The time and day that I chose to conduct my observation had a number of effects on the results. First, there were likely more hospital visits occurring on Saturday than there would have been if I had conducted my observation on a weekday when most people are at school or work. Second, I can imagine that the lobby was less busy in the afternoon than at noon, yet busier than it would be if I had conducted the observation early in the morning or late at night. Third, I did not see anyone in the lobby consuming any food items and instead, observed a number of people drinking coffee or other warm beverages. I assume that I would have seen more people eating if I had visited the lobby at breakfast or lunchtime. The afternoon is also a common time for people to have a coffee to offset afternoon doldrums. Last, I noticed that the majority of people in the lobby were wearing warm, casual outfits, which may have differed if I had conducted my observation earlier in the day when it was warmer outside or on a weekday when more visitors would have been dressed in work attire. How many people are there over the course of the observation? Upon arrival at the Kingston General Hospital, the first record I made was of the number of people in the main lobby. I...

...study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation. There were many experiments and observations made during operant and classical conditioning research. The idea of classical conditioning was first brought to us by a Russian physiologist named Ivan Pavlov. It involves placing a neutral stimulus before a reflex and tends to focus more on involuntary behaviors. We associate two stimuli and then anticipate a response. We expect and prepare for pain. In classical conditioning, the first stage is acquisition, second is extinction, and third is spontaneous recovery. During acquisition an unconditioned stimulus produces an unconditioned response in an organism. Which means the stimulus provoked a behavior not yet learned by the organism. Extinction is when the stimulus no longer produces a response from the organism because it has been exposed to it numerous times. Spontaneous recovery is when the conditioned response reappears after a rest period. Similar stimuli can trigger responses in this stage....

...girl. She was sitting at a table with her mother, and another woman similar in age to mom. I am not sure if this was a relative or a family friend. Bailey was “propped up” on the bench next to mom using a pillow (I think they are called “boppy” pillows) and had two or three brightly colored fabric animal toys. I was sitting three tables away from them, but there were four other people at the tables around the baby and her family. Bailey was actively engaging the attention of those around her with laughs and smiles. Bailey did not seem to be afraid to be vocal to get a response from mom, mom’s friends, or those around her. It seems she was discovering her voice and what noises would get the most attention. Bailey enjoyed what seemed like a very funny conversation with the man at the table next to her. There was quite a bit of giggling and squealing during this time. Physically Bailey came across as an active baby. Her legs where constantly kicking and moving, and she was reaching and grasping for her toys and other items around her. Several times during my observation, mom had to readjust Bailey back to a secure sitting position due to her eager movements. While it seemed Bailey was more interested in human interaction, when she did focus on her toys there was quite the effort to assess them and then to get them into her mouth. She was quite happy to chew and drool on them while making verbal noises (they sounded somewhat like ‘ahh ahh ahh”). During my time spent observing...

...A. General Comments I conducted my observation at the CSUN Child and Family Studies Center on April 13, 2018 from 2:40 until 4:50 PM. When I arrived for the observation, the children were playing outside in several different areas. There were approximately 50 students between the ages of about 3 or 4 with about 8-10 teachers. There were a lot of children because it was their outdoor play time for two other classes. I spent time sitting by the sandbox, climbing structure, and swings. They were outside for about an hour before the classes split up for their own activities. I then observed a classroom setting for an hour with 4 teachers and about 10-12 children. There is a room with a one way window in which I can see the children and teachers...

...worked for. Curl describes the time old “Nursing Process” as assessing the situation, making a plan, then finally evaluating the outcome. She follows this same progression in her attempt to restructure nursing practices at this community hospital. She very clearly presents her personal experience as what practices (whether or not they were best practices) she was seeing in the nursing community verses research based best nursing practice. One piece of evidence she presents for this is how “This meant that labor nurses were assigned only one patient allowing the time to provide continuous labor support. Despite strong encouragement to remain at the bedside, most nurses remained tethered to the central monitoring station” (p.235). This observation strengthens the argument that research based best practices were not synonymous with current practices. She presents the proposed research based practices as time old patient centered care and the new accepted practices as being heavily based on technology with little emphasis on patient-nurse relationships. This argument seems completely logical, especially concerning a...

As we were waiting at a light to cross the street another woman was standing on the opposite side of the street also waiting to cross. She was dressed casually in wore jeans, a sweatshirt and sneakers. Everything was normal until the two men in a truck stopped at the traffic light started yelling at the woman. They were honking the horn to get her attention and yelling stuff like “Hey baby! Over here!”. It was clear their intention was to pick her up because they used words like “baby” which in this context can be seen as sexual. They were laughing, but she...
