Introduction

Gender segregation is the division of people according to the social construction that is, male and female. It may also refer to the tendency of the children in this case to play together with their colleagues of the same sex. Children at tender ages normally below three years tend to be non-discriminative in interaction with same or different genders. It's worth noting that children within same age group will more than likely behave in a certain general manner and even react to different situations in particular patterns. Children normally interact well with peers through social play networks which aid in ...

In the past, children were said to be intelligent or geniuses based on how good they are in solving mathematical problems or making connections about living and non-living things. The belief that intelligence is measured by comparing the intellectual capacity of a child with another child in the same age range has influenced the teaching methodologies that teachers employ in the classroom. However, in recent years, Howard Gardner has continually challenged this idea by presenting what he calls multiple intelligences. His belief is that children, or individuals for that matter, excel in various fields of knowledge, thus, using a child's strength ...

Biological and Environmental Factors Contributing to a Child’s Mental Health

The early years of childhood are very important in establishing the mental and emotional growth of a child, whose effects are often carried well into adulthood. Mental health is a vital component of the formation of an individual’s identity (CYFC, 2002). A child’s mental health is usually determined by various biological and environmental factors. Biological factors include: genetics; temperament; physical and health factors. Genetic factors influence how fast the child grows and also the physical attributes of the child (CYFC, 2002). When a child is born, the child possesses strong inborn tendencies which may affect the child positively or negatively. For ...

According to (How A Child Develops - Development Delay) development delays usually happens when a children does not accomplish certain development milestones. Development milestones are various changes in skills through which a child goes through in child development. These development milestones should be attained in predictable time intervals.

Introduction

“The chosen topic is of Urban Childhood Education”
Reasons for Choosing this Topic
I selected this topic because I feel that Education plays a vital role in making a child successful and independent. For any child’s life, an aspect of early childhood education is very important as it goes against the concept of childhood slavery when a child cannot fulfill his childhood needs, and others exploit him by excessive work and as a tool to get work done. in spite of being given important academic education, he spends his childhood in slavery. In the critical years from birth to three ...

Research suggests that early childhood education is extremely important for the success of children as they age. Without proper early childhood education, children are set up for failure in their lives before they even begin to attend school; children who attend preschool programs, for instance, have a much easier time learning in the kindergarten and first grade classrooms than children who are immediately placed into those same classrooms (Edwards, Cutter-Mackenzie et al., 2014). Perhaps some of the most important skills that children learn in these early childhood educational experiences are not academic skills, but are the skills that they need ...

The graduation rate for Hispanic students has risen, but the dropout rate for Hispanic students is still the highest among their African-American, Asian, and White peers. This results in too few Hispanics enrolling in college or other higher education programs, which segues into low employment rates and a higher level of poverty within Hispanic families. Hispanics are the fastest-growing ethnic minority in the United States today. Hispanic children are an important part of America’s future. Taking into account their growing numbers, they are going to become a crucial part of the work force once they reach adulthood. They are going ...

1.0 Pivotal response therapy (PRT)
Pivotal response therapy/treatment/training is one of the early behavioral intervention techniques developed for management of autism. This techniques is built on the premise that autism interferes with “pivotal behaviors” that ultimately underlie other behaviors are deficient in autistic children. The pivotal behaviors/areas are initiating activities, motivation, self-management, feelings and responding to multiple/complicated cues (signals). PRT therefore aims at increasing pivotal behaviors, particularly motivation, which would in turn enhance generalization. The autistic child chooses the activity and is rewarded (positive reinforcement) for every correct responses or attempt. As such, PRT trains the child to ...

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a severe anxiety disorder that can develop in anyone after exposure to an event that results in psychological trauma. Although there has been much focus in recent years on PTSD experienced by soldiers returning home from war, the disorder is not limited to that group of people. In fact, PTSD can occur in a variety of situations and to just about anyone, including abused children, sexual assault and rape victims, people who have experienced natural disasters, people who have experienced a car crash, and many other traumatic situations.

As the drive to educate children with special needs in a least restrictive environment increases many preschools find themselves enrolling children with special needs in programs originally tailored for typically developing children Although early childhood educators may exhibit good intentions in their desire to accommodate children with special needs are their programs geared to adequately meet the needs of these children. If not what changes must be engineered in the curriculum to bring about this accommodation.

One of the key influences in guiding early childhood education practices over the last 20 years has been position statements on implementing developmentally appropriate ...

Introduction

Studies on psychology and cognition have shown that a child’s language has a great impact on his/her ability to regulate his emotions and behavior. In order for two people to understand and share meaning with one another, a clear ground should first be laid out to avoid misunderstandings. A study involving 120 children aged 18 months to 4 years old showed that participants who had superior language skills expressed less anger upon reaching 4 years old (Roben, Cole, & Armstrong, 2012). Most children in their early stages learn to use language as a means of self-expression and self-regulation, because ...

Useful Strategies in Dual Language Classroom

The Statement of The Problem.
In a preschool classroom setting, there are multiple reasons as to why reading and writing may become difficult for those who are learning in a dual language environment. Although the problem is not them learning another language, it is actually helping them to learn to speak, read and write it. The two languages English and Arabic are at complete total polar ends. Neither represent the other and neither use the same alphabet. For example French, Spanish and Italian use the same alphabetic letters so students feel more comfortable. Both languages English and Arabic are ...

The ultimate goal of early childhood education is to improve children’s social-emotional skills, acquisition and use of knowledge and skills and use of appropriate behavior to meet their needs. As said by Albert Einstein, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." Therefore, the use of technology is not suitable in early age, as it teaches children to depend on technology rather than believing in themselves. Scientifically proven method states that when a person learns something through the senses of touching, hearing, writing, communication is more prone to remember for a ...
