Time Out, Consistency, Role Modeling, and Rewards
It is important to remember first and foremost the goal of time outs, role modeling, and rewards. By raising a child with consistency they will sooner develop socially acceptable behavior appropriate for their age. It is vital to provide consistency when children are young, as they will follow this example throughout life. They will learn that “no” means “no” but most importantly they can learn what “non negotiable” means in this age group. By providing a positive role model and providing rewards, the need for punishment (or time out) should naturally decrease. The child will learn to make their own good decisions, and thereby practice good self control. Time out “spots” it seems are being

This is one of the factors that may influence bedwetting (enuresis). Enuresis consists of 2 varieties, primary and secondary. Primary is that of a child who has never woke up dry while secondary is a child who has been dry at night but returned to night time wetting. In most cases studies reveal no medical reason for the bedwetting. It is recommended that children abstain from liquids after the dinner meal and void just prior to going to bed for the night. Bladder conditioning can be explored, which is for the child to go as long as possible during the day without using the bathroom. It is believed that this will potentially increase the bladder size and thus eliminate night time enuresis. While working to a goal of night time dryness, it may be helpful to use absorbent products sold as “pull-ups” or “goodnights” to help the child feel grown up (and therefore not using “diapers”) but also diminish the anxiety of waking up in a soaking wet bed. As a possible last resort there are night time alarms, which are commercially available and prescription drugs. The prescription causes the child to not sleep as deeply in the hopes they will recognize the urge to void and awaken to use the …show more content…

Toys should be study and safe and encourage creative and imaginative play.

During my parent interview many of the parents had a different idea of what was stimulating for their child. All the parents, however, realized the importance of stimulating their child during play especially as an infant. The parent’s children ranged from six months to 5 years old (Derryberry, Boster, & Lashae, 2015). This also shows that the parent can have varying opinion based on what their child needs in that particular developmental period. All the parents were extremely concerned with what the child was getting out of play. They also agreed anything educational always was better than what the child in question may want. I think that especially come into play for toddlers, because they are trying to interact with the environment even in stores.
