5N0690 Method of procedure: In this report I aim to outline the 12 principals and the 4 themes of Aistear. Findings: Early childhood is a time of great opportunity for learning and development. In these early years children learn through love, trusting and respectful relationships and through discussion, exploration and play. Aistear celebrates early childhood as a time of being, and of enjoying and learning from experiences as they unfold. This early learning lays important foundations for

Play is essential to early childhood as it contributes to cognitive learning, physical and perceptual skills, social interaction and overall well-being. There is much debate on the importance and nature of play. From infancy, play is used to explore the unknown world, as well as, to learn and develop critical skills for life. The profound impact of play molds, influences and educates children as different types of play changes with age. As infants, children connect with their parents through facial

Early childhood caries (ECC) was the most widespread chronic childhood disease, albeit largely preventable if parents and caregivers adhered to oral hygiene guidelines, followed proper diet and nutritional practices, and kept regular dental visits for their child (Badri, 2014). Professional and academic bodies have long held and researched the importance of establishing and maintaining oral health at an early age. Early childhood oral health has influenced the trajectory of oral health and overall

The fantastical world of childhood is animated through objects, as space for us to begin a dialogue with our imagination and ourselves. It is here that we project our interpretations of the world around us and begin to form our worldview: the ‘toy world presents a projection of the world of everyday life’. We project, through our early perceptions, onto the material world of toys to find meaning within our fantasies. In this way the toy as an object can only ever represent a narrative born out of

Researchers today offer three reasons for childhood amnesia. They are different event representation form, lack of understanding of the self and inability to narrate past events. These ideas are described below. Infants under two years of age represent events in a different qualitative way than older infants. During this period, infants code events in a different way from the codes based on action due to the verbal capacity that flourishes. Their emerging oral skills are associated with memory for

Is childhood socially constructed? If so, what does this mean for our understanding of children’s position in society? Student Number: 109495185 Introduction It is easy to assume that definitions and expectations of age groups, such as infancy and childhood, are fixed and do not change.
