Springtime lesson plan for preschool?
Posted on 21. Apr, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
I am taking a child development course in school and I am going to work with preschoolers. My day is nature themed and since it is spring, we are going to learn about spring. My objectives so far are: they will be able to explain the importance of the season, and they will be able to sequence the life cycle of a butterfly. For the craft we might make butterflies or caterpillars. What else can I do for an interactive activity with the kids, and what other objectives can there be for spring? Thanks!

How many parents believe in problem solving when it comes to …?
Posted on 01. Mar, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
helping a child learn from his bad choices. I love working with young children and am constantly reading about child development. I love answering questions on yahoo when it comes to toddlers and preschoolers. One thing I Noticed is parents putting their children on "time out" or isolation to teach the child. The majority of the parents still believe that children need to hurt in order to learn…On the contrary… studies show that children are not able to see what they did when they are in their lymbic system (the emotional part of the brain). Sending the child to "time out" so the child can think about it is totally out of the question. Not only can he not think because he is upset, but also imposible because children under the age of 6 have no "inner speach" depending on the develpmental stage they are in. Inner speach is a voice inside our heads that help us organize list through out the day. Thats why young children talk to to them selves out loud when they play alone.
I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a consequence to bad behavior, I’m say ing that knowing and understanding the unique developmental stage and temperment of the child is essential to positively disciplining young children. The majority of the parents think that spanking, timeout, yelling and bribes will teach the children what to do. Although been there done that doing these things does stop the behavior for the moment thats if the childs temperment is not a persistent one. It’s sad to say that the only thing it does teach is..in order to get you to stop and listen, is first I have to hurt you and intimidate you before we have a talk about what you did wrong. It’s sad to think of children working out their problems in this way…Time out will stop the behavior for the moment what kind of punishment would you have to give the child once he/turns 15 ?
You wanted to know what books I based my research on :10 Principles of Positive Discipline by Dr. Becky Baily; Easy to Love Difficult to discipline 7 basic skills for turning conflict into cooperation By Dr. Becky Baily; Children with challenging Behavior: Strategies for reflective thinking By Linda and Tom Brault; Taking the Stress out of Raising Great Kids by Jim Fay, Charles Fay, Ph.D. & Foster W. Cline, M.D. (love and logic institute). Punished by Rewards The trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans$, A’s, Praise, and other bribes Alfie Kohn Author of No Contest and The Schools Uour Children Deserve; How to Talk so Kids Will Listen & Listen so Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elain Mazlish Authors of the #1 Best seller siblings without Rivalry; Parenting with love and logic Teaching children responsibility By Jim Fay; Helicopters, Drill Sergents, and consultants By Jim Fay. To Little momyd…Does a two yr old know what to do instead. No, unless you tell him. It takes 2000..
in context in order for it to become a progam with in the child. That answers "how many times do I have to tell you…..". Time out is often used as a punishment instead of a time to cool off or calm down. I have seen children being forced to sit "in the thinking chair" , the naughty mat, the corner etc. They often cry and see it as a punishment. If you teach them to find or choose a "safe place" to go to when they are out of control you are teaching them to manage their anger. Then when they are calm you can talk about what happened and what they could do next time. The adult is there to guide the children to problem solve not to solve it for them. My research shows that our jails are over crowded. It’s a big "time out" place for repeated ofenders. I definetly see a problem. This tells me that its a little too late to show them how to problemsolve and anger mangement. Your supposed to learn this the firs 6 yrs of life. Choices, consequences natural and set up are good.

My daughter likes to play with bottles and pretends they are people…?
Posted on 14. Feb, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
This is a question for any parents out there, or anyone who deals with young children such as child development teachers, or anyone else who knows about preschoolers. My daughter who is four years old likes to play with any bottles and brushes that are around the bathroom, or kitchen. She likes to pretend that they are people. I might add that she also plays with regular dolls. If you were her parent, would you think this is anything to be concerned about, or is she just a very imaginative child?
Thanks Tatiana!

what do you think of my 250 word essay on a life changing expirience?
Posted on 05. Feb, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
Looking back, I could have never imagined my life would be shaped so greatly by a group of preschoolers nearly a sixth of my age. A few years ago, I might also have laughed with disagreement at the statement, “he who teaches children learns more than they do.” A special group of 3 year-olds came I’m last fall to learn from me, and left teaching me more than I could ever ask for.
Before taking child-development, or even before high school, I was very unsure of myself. During class I was taught to build my preschoolers self-concept, but I often said to myself, “How can I teach these kids confidence, when I don’t even feel it myself?”
From them though, I have grown to believe the statement, “You can learn many things from children.” Those 3 year-olds, no matter what got in their way, they were open to whatever was presented to them, and they respected each other with value.
One instance that really stood out at me, was between two boys this past spring.
Calvin, a shy boy, was crying under the jungle gym. Without hesitation, another young boy, Josh, immediately asked Calvin what was wrong, and to play. As a common act in my preschool, one child saw an opportunity to help someone, and acted. The dozen children I worked with were the most non-judgmental, respectful group I have never met.
Angela Schwindt had said, “While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” My experience working with them not only helped me accept others regardless of our differences, but to accept myself. I began to fully believe in myself and develop my own self-concept. From them I had an inner confidence, and I learned to love life, and to teach others to love as well.
Those sometimes overwhelming, but always loving 3 year-olds are the main reason I live my life the way I do today, and the main reason why I love, and always will want to continue teaching.
it can only be about 250 words long and this one is currenly at just under 350. What points do you like? what do you think can get cut out…rate this essay
this essay was written based on the topic… talk about a life changing expirience… not anything about the university.. and well I want to be a teacher and they are the reason why… My life seriously has been pretty dull otherwise
