The Pros And Cons Of Camila's Playroom

In order to ensure a safe and healthy environment and services for children/young people there are some factors which need to be taken into account. These include any equipment which they will be in contact with, such as electrical equipment, anything which may pose a fire risk, any damaged furniture or fixtures which they may come into contact with. If there are any cables or anything they may trip over as well as any spillages or anything they may slip on and fall. All if these issues need to be taken into account

The “Toy Paper” is a research paper requirement for Child Development which we complete an in-depth analysis of the usefulness of a specific toy of our choice. The toy itself will be evaluated by three various stages in relation to cognitive, developmental, social and cultural perspective. The toy I have chosen for my topic to write about is the “Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Puppy” which is a toy designed by Fisher Price for children ranging in age 6 to 36 months it contains 50+ sing along songs, tunes and phrases. It has 7 activations modes which respond to a child’s touch including a light up red heart. It assists in developing a child’s sensory and fine motor skills. The stages of development vary with each child this toy allows a parent to program it according to the

Categories of Play Kerri engaged in play and exploratory/sensorimotor play and relational/functional throughout the video. Examples of exploratory/sensorimotor play included shaking and banging of a hair brush. Relational/functional play examples included appropriately stacking rings, use of a baby bottle directed toward self and adult, functionally stacking cups, engaging appropriately in a farm pop-up game, pushing buttons on a phone and putting the phone up to her ear, and functionally putting rings into according slots. Overall, relational/functional play was displayed more during the session. Attention Span Kerri was occupied the most with the rings and slot game.

The physical development of a baby in its first six months of life shows limited range of movement but the beginnings of an ability to respond to stimulus around them. They show their reaction to people, sounds and movement by turning their head toward whatever attracts their attention. They will watch an adult’s face whilst feeding, but have already begun to shows signs of recognition as they will smile when familiar people are around them either because they can see them

In the setting, we provide a healthy and safe environment for children. For children’s safety, all visitors must sign the visitor’s book, security camera systems are in place, password protection for children and marked registration. So the setting tries to protect children from harm.

This toy hits many of Piaget’s sensorimotor stages of development in a child beginning at age 6MO sub-stage 3 which was remarkable to me where one toy could assist with secondary circular reactions, coordination of secondary schemes, tertiary circular reaction and beginning of representational thought (Bee, Boyd, pg. 140). It is very easy to use for both small children and more advanced toddlers. I was impressed with the fact it is not a throw away toy after 6 months it can be used over several years and by multiple family members to assist with growth and development. After watching the video and reading information on this toy I would strongly recommend to parents who have children ranging in age 6MO to

If an individual opens the door without knocking to make the staff in the room aware that someone is entering they can push the door into the children which can cause them to fall over. This could cause bruising or cuts to head, legs or arms depending how they fall. Also as the doors are not very heavy the children are capable of opening them themselves and leaving the room that they are in. If this is unnoticed by any of the staff the staff it puts the child in great danger if they leave the building or if they choose to hide in another area. Ways to resolve and minimise the risks of these hazards occurring again would be to replace the old doors with new fire doors which would be heavy enough so the children would be unable to open them. The doors would also have a thin strip of glass so the individuals can see inside before entering although they should knock and wait for response to. A finally idea to minimise this risk would be to fix finger guards to the hinges of every door so no one’s fingers can be caught in between.

Laura Schulz’s presentation, The Surprisingly Logical Minds of Babies, explores the idea of how babies and young children are able to learn so much in such a short span of time. In Schulz’s presentation, the viewers see multiple video experiments where she introduces babies to different balls and toys that make noises. I choose to explain and break down the first experiment, that she discusses. In the first experiment Schulz has a colleague reach into a bucket with mostly blue balls and a few yellow balls. The colleague pulls out three of the balls and when she takes each ball out she squeaks them. The colleague then pulls out a yellow ball and hands it to the baby. The child copies what Schulz’s colleague has done, but however the

There could be alcohol or liquor. Also,broken windows with glass everywhere. There may be rusty nails that they might step on. The kids could step on the broken pieces of glass. Kids could drink the alcohol. You never know how sturdy

According to Piaget (1929, 1954, 1963), the process of adaptation helps us to understand how a child constructs his/her world. Taking Piaget's theory of Cognitive Development with particular focus on the Sensori-Motor stage of development, I am going to discuss how understanding this stage might influence me when working with a baby as a nursing student in the future.

All it takes is seven seconds to completely assess and categorize a person you’ve barely met. This has happened to everyone, especially as a student. Small visual clues such as one’s expression, their race, gender, demeanor, and clothing, set the precedent for how the teacher will view their students from the beginning of the school year to the last day. Most favoritism teachers dole out is subconscious. The reason they may gravitate towards and dote on particular kids could stem from the initial assessment they made or even bias. Humans tend to gravitate towards others similar to them. While there is the belief that teachers playing favourites is natural, necessary, and unavoidable, this behavior is harmful to the student, harmful to their peers, and is often completely irrational.
