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.…
Isabella puts one foot on the ground, then the other foot and walks directly where the toys are lying. Based on her reaction it appears she has developed her gross motor skills. According to chapter 5, gross motor skills is defined as ¨physical abilities involving large body movements, such as walking and jumping¨ (Chapter 5 146). According to table 5.1, walk well appears at around 13 to 15 months. Based on this information, Isabella at 20 months of age, would be within the age range for development and therefore within the norm for her age (Adolph et al. 148).…
Through the use of projected images, music and dialogue, distinctively visual texts represent challenging aspects of life effectively. This is portrayed through texts such as John Misto’s play The Shoe Horn Sonata, Kevin McDonalds docu-drama Touching the Void and Roberto Innocenti’s picture book Rose Blanche.…
Composers use distinctly visual images to visualise and allow us to understand the impact of human experiences. Deborah Cox used visual imagery in the television series ‘Sea Change’ to create an effective message about human experiences; this is also emplified in ‘Cell block tango’ composed by Rob Marshall and Kathryn del Barton’s artwork ‘You are what is most beautiful about me’.…
Stepping back and reviewing her growth from early childhood until now, Gina Oliva provides a strong developed storyline of the setbacks she faced and how she overcame them. Yet, throughout all of this tribulation, a common theme remains, she always wanted to progress forward in a comfortable and inclusive way. Many of her stories from navigating the Hearing and Death world elaborate on this and the beneficial opportunities she was given to intertwine between the two communities.…
So how real exactly is the reality show Toddlers and Tiaras? On one hand, I could argue that the premise of the show is too fanatical to be considered by any potential situations for use in their lives. However, on the other hand, the integration of personal issues and struggles into the dramatic storyline assists in blurring the distinction between what is constructed and what is the reality. Personal, financial, and family issues woven into the dramatic storyline misconstrues the belief that Toddlers and Tiaras is not only a reality, but the situations that occur have a high possibility of occurring in the viewers lives as well. This results in the evaluation of Toddlers and Tiaras as an accurate view of not only the real world but the world of pageants as well. While reality programming provides audiences with misconstrued perceptions of reality, another media source that does so as well is the News.…
D5&B1- It is important to phone the placement and check where the placement is and ask for directions if you are not sure, so that you will not get lost and be late to placement, which means also checking what time you have to arrive to placement because parents also make judgements on observations they make briefly, good first impressions reassure them. Also even arrange a pre-visit so then you will know where the placement is ready for whenever you start and discuss the things you need to know. Checking the dress code is very important because you will need to look presentable and be identified as a student and not a staff member. Also checking what equipment you need to bring with you to placement is important so you can carry on with what your expected to do and so that you are organised, also so that you are respected as an individual that cares, hardworking, so may be given extra responsibilities which leads to greater learning and enjoyment in placement. It’s very important you ask who you go to for advice/per-diaries so that you feel confident you can speak to someone when you feel the need to, and get your per-diaries filled out when due to. Plus you will need to find out the policies and procedures, this is very important so that you keep to your boundaries of what you can and can’t do, and anything that is expected of you like safeguarding which should always be taken into consideration if there was a situation…

The distinctive quality of the visual relies on its potential to provoke some sort of emotion from the responders. Naturally, powerful visuals evoke emotions of fascination, sadness, anger, or will inspire an audience. Visual images, like all texts are produced for specific purposes and audiences and can therefore be either negative or positive. Through the distinctive features produced in the television show “Sea Change” and the iconic black and white image of the ‘the girl in the picture’ it is obvious that the visuals are brought to life when viewed by an audience, allowing an emotional response.…

We were given the assignment to create toy for a baby from things available in a home. I chose to create a toy for babies in the late infancy stage. My toys are “Noise shakers”. I took three water bottles, took off their wrappers, and in each one I added different things to create different sounds. In one bottle I put bells, in another bottle I put rice, and then in my 3rd bottle I added colorful craft beads. I filled all three bottles half way so there was room for the objects to move freely and create their different sounds. I then used something called Gorilla glue to attach the bottle caps. After that I covered the cap with two layers of colorful duct tape, so that it was extra secure, as well as adding color to the cap area. The age for this toy is 12 to 36 months. It falls in Piaget’s sensorimotor stage and the early part of the preoperational stage. Although this toy would not be for under 12 months or above 36 months. During the sensorimotor stage between 12 and 18 months “infants develop new behaviors that allow them to achieve their goals. Although the child still repeats actions over and over, now he does it with a planned variation to see what happened when I do this!” (P, 235/Levine). For example, the child will think, “when I shake this bottle I hear the sound”. This toy will stimulate the child’s senses; when the baby shakes it, it makes a sound. Also, these bottles have a soft but bumpy texture to the touch. This is important, because infants/young children take in information from their sense. This toy will encourage their growth of symbolic activity. When shaking these bottles, the young child will pretend they are different musical instruments; this is symbolic because they use one object to represent another. Piaget states that “During the Cognitive Development Theory stage 6 (18 months to 2 years)…

The purpose of this observation was to analysis a preschool age child between the ages of 3-5 on their social and emotional development using “California Preschool Learning Foundation Volume 1: Social and Emotional” and “Desired Results Developmental Profile – preschool.” (DRDP) The child was observed for one hour in two locations at three different settings. The observer noticed the child playing and interacting with the environment. The written portion of the child observation closely analyzed the social and emotional development using “California Preschool Learning Foundation Volume 1”, one hour observation, and applying the DRDP measures. The social and emotional development is written in three portions that analyze the child’s self, social…
In an evening spent at a local park, I observed two toddlers playing on the playground. Both toddlers were about the same size and height, and they were seemingly about two years of age. These two children stood out to me because though they seemed about the same age, their behavior on the playground was very different. As I observed, both subtle and large differences began to make themselves apparent.…
