Description
After viewing the video before this page reflect on what you have been reading and discussing about this week.
For children with and without disabilities, strong social-emotional skills are the foundation of long-term success in school, at work, and in the community. With so much at stake, it’s critical to start addressing this key area of development in the early years, even before a child starts school. Educators, childcare providers, and parents should all work together to build children’s social-emotional skills, identify potential issues, and mitigate the impact of stressors in a young child’s life.
Purpose
The purpose of the reflective journal is for you to take time to reflect on your values, perceptions, and beliefs about caring for infants and toddlers.
Expectation
These journal entries should be at least 1 paragraph in length (10 or more sentences). You will be graded on the depth of your responses to each question. There is no right or wrong answer. Just your personal thoughts. I will provide feedback in the form of questions that may ask you to dig deeper. These assignments are eligible for resubmission.
Reflective Prompt
What type of learning activities can you implement with infants and toddlers to support their social-emotional development? Why is this important?
