"My Supports"

The factors in my daily environment are my children at the childcare center. I say this because the children really inspire me alot because they always look for me to take care of them. the benefits that I see for their support is that it make me to do and be the best childcare provider that I can possible be. It helps me s to stay encourage and work harder to keep a safe and secure environment that is conductive to learning. I feel that this is my life I really love children and I love to work with them and if I couldn't continue to do this it really would take a a great part of my life away because this has become apart of me,  I look forward to getting up and going to the daycare just to see a smile on the children faces and to know that I am apart of their lives. Most all knowing that I made a difference in each and everyone of our children.

"My Connections to Play"

Two quotes concerning play when I was a child! "Play was Fun" and " Play was Creative "

Two items that where essential to play in my childhood was

   Baby Doll & Jack stones are two favorite toys I really enjoy playing with in my childhood. The people that supported me in plays was my older siblings, my mom, and dad they would always come out and support us and the children in the neighborhood. I can remember my parents and the other parents coming out playing with us in a softball game  it was the parents against the children this was really fun. Play today is alot different then when I was a child. Kids was no expose to alot of things so we made play creative and fun, now kids have access to computers, video games, and much more so that are not as creative as we was we enjoy going outside playing with our friends now kids don" t really do that anymore. i really hope that our kids would get back to the basic of real play and enjoy being creative will playing and having fun at the same time.

Relationship Reflection

Relationships and Partnership is very important to me because it pays a vital role in a human life. People need to have love and compassion or a sense of belonging. relationship to me is when two or more people come to an understanding that we need someone in life and that no one can be an islander. basically that we can't live in this world all by ourselves.

I have do have several people that I can truly say that we have a positive relationship. Me and my two daughter have a very good mother to daughter relationships we can share and talk about anything. My two girls are grown, but that always would come to me for advice before they make a decision they know that they can trust me and I would always have their best interest at heart. 

Some insight that I have learned concerning relationship is that you got to being willing to have a relationship with someone. when you develop a relationship it got to built upon trust and love these a two keys to help build a healthy and successful relationship and that must have respect for one another and value the others opinion.

My experience with relationship is that I owned a childcare center so constantly on a every day basis I deal with staff, parents, and children so I have to be open minded at all times and I have learned to communicate with the parents, staff, and children and keep and open door that they can always come and talk with me about any concern they may, by doing this it helps to build a relationship with them as well.

When I Think of Child Development

Ten years from now it doesn't matter what type of car I drive, or what my bank account look like But, that I made a difference in a child's life.

Testing for Intelligence

many children are assessed on normal basis year round. There are different type of assessment that can be done. I feel that when a child is assessed they should be tested so that they can no where a child is at and detect any problems early so that they can be work on and corrected before it get far. I feel that their should be a basic test that allows the child to reason, to think , and solve problems.

In japan children have a typical intelligence test, or IQ tests, consist of a relatively large number of small problems with varying complexity, often purely symbolic problems that requires a combination of mental aspects of the problem. when the use the IQ testing this contain math, geometrical, verbal and other problems. The result of their test are a different for each person because some other tends to do well than others or similar well in other areas.

Consequences of Stress on Children's Development

Stress is a key factor on how a child may develop. I can remember as a child being isolated from other children. This was not a very good feeling and it was not easy to deal with I didn't have many friends and I really did not want any being that so many children were so mean especially if you did not fit into their environment, depending on how you look, how you dresses, there were many stressor that determine if you could be apart or not. I had to learned how to cope with this through counseling and realize that I am just as much as important as they are. But even through that i still found myself in a shell and right now to this day I still find myself just wanting to be along.

Africa is a country that I would lie to learn more about. One stressor that I found to be big in Africa is disease this is one of the most factor that has a high risk on child development. Africa is one of the highest population in the world but, it is one number one with disease especially HIV/AIDS many children are at risk and malnutrition. Children between the age 1 to 5 are left without care because their parents has pass away these children are left to try and survive on their own. Eight of the countries over in Africa are now getting support through the (ECCD)the Africa Early Childhood Care and Development Initiative. Africa is affected by the conditions of the war, poverty, not enough food, isolation, and disease and children that are under the age of six years old not prepared for mentally or physically for school and the fact that there is not much education for the children at all.

Child Development and Public Health

Public health is one of the number one issue to today that should always be addressed. Immunization plays a vital role in child's life. many children need to be vaccinated to help prevent diseases. Immunization is a public health issue that is very important me because parents should make sure that their children get vaccinated to help prevent infectious diseases that can cause great harm to a child or even cause death. Many children can get infected with diseases if they don't get their immunizations done. 100 million children in Miking China will be vaccinated for measles, this is one of the worlds biggest public health issue. the have a campaign to help protect million of children against diseases and to reach a goal to eliminate measles in 2012. In 2009 more than 52,000 people in China was reported to have measles. Measles is one of the contagious diseases in 2008  164,000 people died from measles and mostly children that where under the age of five. This information impact my work in many was being that I own a childcare facility in the local area we have to make that each and every child have their immunizations if a child does not have them they are not allow to attend school.  www.unicef.org/media/media_55859.html
