Piget believed that children learn and go through stages and sequences. We practice this in nursery by using age assessment development sheets. Piget believed that children are active learners, and so we can encourage them through play and activities. It is also believed that children imitate and transform what they learn into symbolic behaviour. We use this information by rewarding the well behaved children, in the hope that the other children will copy and imitate the good behaviour.…

I did not design the lunch menu for my center; however, I serve it to my children on a daily basis. We use the CRMC food service, which has many benefits. One positive aspect is that there is no extra cost to the center, and enough food is delivered daily so that each child is served the appropriate proportions. My center works with the hospital to create a “short cycle menu,” a menu that is different everyday and repeats itself after a certain number of days, specifically a one-week cycle menu that is chosen by our director with faculty input. This cycle menu shows strengths because the children seem to enjoy a shorter cycle of fewer foods, and our director is able to control the menu to ensure that quality foods are served. The food served each day includes the food groups required for a balanced diet with whole milk. None of the meals contain potential choking hazards and all food is cut with food scissors for my age group. Each month, our center updates our allergy alert sheet, which is posted in every classroom. The staff complies to each child’s needs everyday at lunch and snack. I would not change my centers lunch menu because it promotes a healthy diet, meets their nutritional needs, and the children like it.…

The expected stages of social development in a child aged 4 years old are that they can play with other children and take turns when playing games and they can also share with the other children.

In my setting a child came to me crying and told me that a child has made him upset by snatching the ball of him at lunch time. I called the other child who had made him cry and asked him why he snatched the ball of him. I explained him he should not snatch a ball or anything from anyone he must ask kindly. The child did not pay attention to what I had said to him and continued to do snatch things from other children. I then decided used the doll puppets to demonstrate the children that snatching things from other people can make them very upset and especially when they are your friends. I questioned the children that is it nice to make your friends upset. The child who had made his friend cry he apologized to his friend as he realized what he has done wrong with his friend.…
because we physically grow and mature into our own gender and our nervous system develops enabling us to walk, to be able to feed ourselves and control our body. Psychologically we develop things such as an awareness of separateness from our mothers, learning to trust our environment, ability to interact socially. If any of these developmental stages are interrupted then it can help us to understand problems that individuals have. An obvious example is child abuse. There are other indicators such as serious accidents, traumatic experiences, death of a parent and the list goes on. Understanding "normal" development can help us to appreciate how "abnormal" development has played a part in a person’s current difficulties…
Historicaly, children in the middle ages have been viewed as small adults, “the principal goal of childrearing was to rid the child of this sin” as stated by Flood,(2010,pg1). Alot has changed since the middle ages through studies carried out on child development by such theorists as Piaget , Bronfenbrenner, and Montessori to name a few. According to Flood “Childhood is now considered to be such a distinct stage in life” (2010,pg1). “Psychological, sociological and educational research has highlighted the importance of early years experiences to the quality of later life experiences”(Hayes,2005,pg16).…
