Risk for respiratory infections and asthma of children.
In this article it states that children are more likely to develop respiratory infections and asthma. As stated in the article “As the exposure in daycares are different from homes, especially with regard to infectious agents, it is important to assess both the short- and long-term implications of daycare use on the health of children.” I currently work on an army instillation where we are required by law to send children home with any “abnormal” colds, rash, or any outbreak of any kind. I know that it is clear that children attending daycares are more likely to have respiratory tract infections …show more content…
than children in home care. Cognitive Development
Cognitive development is define as a child’s development in terms of information processing, conceptual resources, perceptual skill, language learning, and other aspects of brain development and cognitive psychology.
In my second article it was a study that was done on children who were provided different types of childcare. It was broken into groups of four. The first group was a daycare center, home-based, babysitter, or no daycare at all. The results were that children who didn’t receive any care scored low on socio-emotional and cognitive. Students who attended care score higher. I am not shocked at the results because working in the childcare field some label child development centers as an equal to a “baby-sitter/nanny”. Open hire we had to sign a paper stating that we would do age appropriate activities with the children, and create lesson plans based off of our …show more content…
observations.
Social emotional development
The definition is simple, it is the skill that allows them to interact with others during play. My third article I chose because I wanted to share the importance of social emotional development in early childhood development. Erik Erikson states that during infancy that baby develop a sense of trust through feeding, diaper change, and even when they cry. He then begins to talk about the change between infancy and toddler. At this stage children began to make their own decisions. Next is children beginning to develop initiative which means building their own independence such as doing things on their own. At my childcare center one way we try to build independence for a toddler is during meal time. During this time children are able to set the table, serve themselves, and engage in friendly conversation during meal time, we call this family style dinning. This is an example one of the many components to social emotional development.
Childcare options: pros, cons, and cost.
The purpose of this article is to break down the pluses and deltas of childcare.
In a daycare center you are more likely to spend less money, however the caregiver like likely to be ratio based which means your child may not get the one on one attention that you would like. My center is a ratio based and we design activities for each child to get that one on one time with each caregiver. Home daycare I fine to be the cheapest but, there isn’t supervision with the caregivers. A stay at home parent is priceless, however looking at it long tern your child is being isolated and not developing social-emotional, playtime with others, and most of all can hinder you from your career
goals.
As you can see early childhood education is the foundation for elementary school and even for a higher learning environment. It is always going to be pros and cons to any origination, but for every problem there is a solution. Every daycare, child development center, home based, etc. isn’t perfect. If you find the right individual who has the passion for what he/she does it will be a great experience. That’s why I love what I do.
