The Happiest Toddler On The Block Summary
One strength of “The Happiest Toddler on the Block”, is all the chapters on behavior. These chapters should help parents understand what behaviors are considered good, okay, or bad for their age and how parents can respond to each behavior. The green, yellow, rad light concept is a good and easy way for even the children and parents to understand. One weakness of this book is Karp’s solutions to some of the bad behaviors. Epically when he says a parent can growl at a child to get them to stop misbehaving. It’s just something you don’t see every day in a book about toddlers. While looking at reviews of the book on Amazon there were a few parents who also agreed with the randomness and poor responses to bad behavior. The only other weakness of

    I will discuss children in early childhood which is between two and six years of age. In this stage of development children are changing and growing rapidly. They are start to learn new motor skills, there is pretend play and they are also learning more language skills. While every child develops at their own pace, there are some milestones you can expect to see each year from most children (Chaloux, 2014). By age two children begin pretend play more, by age three the child is able to focus more and are not distracted by things around them. By age four the child can usually count to 10 and write some letter, particularly the letters in their names. By age five the child is able to think more imaginatively so they are able to solve more complicated problems. By age six the child’s attention span is longer and they are more independent wanting to do things on their own, although they still need direction.…

    SOCIAL, BEHAVIOURAL, EMOTIONAL and PERSONAL From birth to 1 year’s babies are learning social and emotional behaviors every day, they will learn through social interactions, relationships and crying. Simple activities should be encouraged to help with their development. Young children will start to find their own identities and start to form strong bonds/attachments with parents/care givers and friends. At this stage of development tantrums may start through frustration and wanting to do things for themselves. Young people undergo several transitions – making their own decisions, testing the limits of authority, forming sexual partnerships and preparing to complete their education and to leave home.…

    What parents do and say in front of the child can influence how the baby behaves or thinks he/she is suppose to behave. I do agree with majority of the speaker’s argument that there is a lot more going on in a baby’s head than people think. I agree because of experiments explained in the text material and in the ted talk and that they support her claims. Some of the assumptions the author makes are that baby’s have the ability to think and process at such an early stage in development, that infants and children do use conditional probability when doing certain tasks, and that infants and children are able to learn and retain many things without knowing it. The assumptions and points made are supported by the experiment stated earlier in the ted…

    Even from an early age, children’s choices, even simple ones, can have an impact on their life chances and outcomes such as choosing which toys to play with at pre-school or which friends to play with, a child may develop a friendship with another child who is perhaps a bit louder and boisterous and may display unwanted behaviour, this choice of friend may have a negative impact on the child's behaviour at home or in other settings they move onto. Whilst the child has the right to choose their friends, it is the practitioner responsibility to involve the child in setting expectations of their behaviour and help them to make a positive contribution, which is one of the outcomes of the Every Child Matters (ECM) framework. According to Tassoni (2010) the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) clearly states that a curriculum for children under five years should be balanced of adult-led and child-initiated activities; an environment needs to be rich in resources and displayed in such a way that the children can determine their own play.…

    The preschool age is a wonderful time for children; they start to trust other individuals beyond their family, grasp individualism, learn to be resourceful and defend themselves in their living environment in a welcoming way. Their observation of the world around them has sharpened; by investigating they have discovered what will transpire while they mingle with different individuals; the preschooler’s language goes beyond the partial jargon of a toddler.…

    These observation represented how the toddlers lacked awareness of sharing space and property. As mentioned previously these toddlers are at the correct pace of development because they are able to play briefly with peers, but may struggle to share possessions (ELECT 2006, p.33). Since toddlers are naturally socially interested in adults which help them maintain focus and attention. I will incorporate a book about sharing to help enhance the children’s knowledge and social skills. Singing game also motivate children to stay involved (ELECT 2006, p.33).…

    This is an age of important milestones, beginning with taking the first steps. The delighted approval of parents and family members makes the child feel accepted and motivated for further accomplishments. Successive learned feats such as the first words and (most significantly) toilet training, builds a sense of mastery over motor skills, the ability to communicate, a sense of independence, and ultimately the essential autonomy for successfully resolving future Eriksonian conflicts. The child becomes self-confident with caretaker encouragement, less so with too much discouragement. Corrective discipline establishes boundaries, a sense of “right” and “wrong”, which provide the seeds of conscience and moral development.…
