Save The Children

·    Introduce your conversation partners (or the podcast partner participant) to colleagues.

My partner was Save the Children Organization.

·    Share what you have learned so far from these exchanges (or from the podcast and websites).

I have learned that this organization is working to help stop the spread of hunger, diseases, of children around the world. Feed the Children works in 120 countries helping and supporting children and their families. It also helps supply food, medicine, clothes, and shelters for these families. Save the Children started in the 20th century by two sisters who had a vision. These two sisters vision continued into the 21th century, but the real founder of Save the Children was Eglantyne Jebb after World War One. I have learned that Save the Children organizations are thriving for all children to have the rights for survival, protection, development, and participant in the end of hunger. Save the Children represents that all children are ensured with the equal rights, to be treated and be cared for fairly in life. I’ve learned that Save the Children is based upon respecting every cultural backgrounds and valves each others, and respecting diversity and to develop a positive relationship with partners. Save the Children agencies set high goals to improve the skills and valves for each child accomplish.

·    Describe your new insights and information about issues of poverty.

My new insights and information about issues of poverty it is a major problem in the United States of America today. People do not realize how many people live in poverty, in their backyard. There are over 16,000 families living in poverty with little or no income for food of shelter. I had learned that every little bit helps when it come to supporting families by giving our totally attention. Focus on what is going on in the world that is surrounding we the people. We must do our part in helping, sponsoring Save the Children organization. I can honestly say that I have decided to become a sponsor myself.

Zero to Three is an organization that provides information that is essential for every parent to know about raising children. It tells about how the brain develop and when it develops, it tell about how extremely important it is to input knowledge into a child in his/her early years. It tells about brain development in the first three years this is called the climacteric years. It tells about challenging Behaviors on how to cope and understand some tasks parents and care givers confront in working with young children. Mental health on how children need to develop a loving relationship with others.

Identify one current issue/trend from the newsletter and /or from the website that caught your attention.

A newborn baby‘s brain is about 25 % large than an adult weight by the time the baby get 3 years old there are billions of cells and hundreds of trillions of collections, or synapses, between these altered cells. I did not know this, and it has information about children and families and preparing them to become a better parent. In this article, I found out that it developmental assessment process is changing. “A new assessment has been published by Zero To Three that encourages more parents to collaboration.”New Visions for the Developmental Assessment of infants and young children promotes evaluating children on their capabilities, not deficits, and understanding how children manage life in relation to their family, community and culture.”

Zero To Three also tells about ways we can support military families by supplying their children with physical and emotional nurturing skills as possible. One thing we can do is taking care of ourselves to help provide safety and security for the children while their families are away. I love this website I think that every parent should read this article because everything you want to know is on this website.

Getting Ready— Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

This blog assignment is but getting in contact with two early childhood education resources outside of the United States of America. I chose Germany National Committee for Early childhood Education. Mrs. Eva-Hammes-DiBernardo, Secertary: Ms. Ulrikekonrad- Ristan E: Mail agj@agj.de and The National Early Childhood Development Alliance, Mr. Eric At move P.O. Box 2363 Clarich, 7740 South African: Telephone# 272-168-32420 E: Mail: agj@agj.de. For my website, I chose Zero to Three. I love this information resource because whatever, you want to know about young children it is in there. Like that Tomato Sauce it in there. I recommend this resource to every young mother and want to become a mother need this website.

I did my best in contacting these resources, and only one got back with me, and she said that someone else had contacted her, and she would recommend me to another. She never did It is very hard getting them to contact you because I guess they do not have the time. I did my part until my head started to hurt I cannot take this, so I guess I go to take the alternative to part one. I need help because all I can do is do my part and I pray that they will contact me. I have worked for Head Start for thirteen years, and I have never thought about something like this. All I am pleasing for that we help each one. I pray that the resources will contact me back soon because I have contacted agency. I have high blood pressure please pray for me, but I am going to get degree’s.

My Supports

Describe factors within your daily environment that are supportive to you, including the ways in which these factors provide support. Describe what you see as the benefits of these supports. How difficult would be to exist without these supports? What impact would they have on your life if they were gone?

The factors in my daily life are my daughter and granddaughter, and the way they have been supportive to me by encouragement, faith, love and they are the reasons why I am doing my best to pass and get my degree. Whenever, I get weary my daughter always tell me, that I can make it. My daughter Dipporah will take me to dinner or just say a kind words like “I love you mom.”  When I see little Leah Elizabeth, it makes me want to go a step farther. I will always be a positive role model for my family. When my husband asked me for a divorce, I never let my daughter Dipporah see me cry or being sad. She told me just the other day that she wants to be just like me. Out of all the situations I have been through, I still have joy. To me those are the most exciting words a daughter can say to her mother.

The benefits of these factors are that my daughter wants to be like me, a positive role model, and being an example to her daughter Leah Elizabeth.  It is essential for me to be a positive example in my daughter’s life this means I have helped someone. ‘’Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Another supported factor is that after she finished school she went and got a job to help me pay the bills. God knows that was a great support factor she did for her mom.

It would be very difficult because in everything you go through it is for a purpose, and if I did not have difficulties I would not know that they can be solved. I feel that when you go through difficulties it makes you stronger; it is an experience that makes you learn as you go through them. Life never promises that my life will be a bed of roses, but difficulties will surely come in my path way of life.  If I cannot pass the test that I go through it will be very difficult but if I go through the trails of life without, faith it will conquer me as lost. Another difficult factor paying bills, and supporting my families ‘after the divorce it took one paycheck out of the home, and now I have just one check coming into the house. That God for letting me get my degrees in early childhood education because if you do not have a degree there is less money coming into the home.

Share the challenge you chose to imagine and the thoughts you have with regard to supports you would want and need. Again, describe factors within yours daily environment would be supportive to you, including ways in which these factors would provide support. Describe what you see as the potential benefits of these supports. How difficult would it be to exist without these supports? The impact they would have on your life if they weren’t there?

The challenge I chose to imagine is if I did not have the support of my daughter, and granddaughter I would be lost.  I live in Blytheville, Arkansas I have no close relatives here all of them lives in Columbus, Mississippi. I have few first cousins and an aunt she had a stroke and cannot walk.  The few families I have here had different life styles than they all like earthly life styles.  The challenges I chose to imagine and the thoughts I have regard to supports is that there will be no one to support me. Because no one comes to visit me and whatever, people do for I have to pay them.  I think that the support I would need is being around enthusiastic speaker communication. Because most people know I’m a confident communicator and they know that I like to set my environment as positive as it can be. I do not like being around negative people. My daughter help to me pay bills well really I let her save her money and if she want to buy herself something she buys herself instead of me buying it.

My Connections To Play

• “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Plato.

• “Play for young children is not recreation activity… It is leisure- time activity nor escape activity. Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body, and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he have met.” James L. Hymes, Jr., child development Specialist, author.

 

 

During my younger days all, I have to play with was a raggedy Ann Doll, A corn cob with the silk for hair placed in a soda bottle, and a crew, crew train. That all dad and mom could afford, because we were very poor dad and mom have 15 children.

Dad and mom were the proud parents of fifteen children and every one of us were very activity in play. We walked for miles going to church, and dad used to carry every one of us to fishing and hunting with him. We ran and played basketball, baseball, and socket ball, we played marbles, hide and seek, swimming in the pond and singing gospel songs and clapping our hands. We were a wholesome family and loved to get out and play. My dad took the time out and played with each of his children.
We went to school ate breakfast and went to different classes and before lunch we went out to recess. We played about an hour and went back to our classroom, we were healthier, and we did not know the word obese because we was able to have recess twice a day. In today society, the government has put a stop to recess that is the number one reason for obese. Obesity has become the number one problem in the United States of America. Yes! Things had changed when it come to the children going outdoor exploring the world and discovering nature and their surroundings through play.

Relationship Reflection

Reflecting on Building Relationships

·         Relationships are /partnerships are important to me because it develop trust and help build your health and social/ emotional development. It also builds your confident into the person that you can talk to, and no worries for what you talked about will ever leak out to others. Relationships are important because it also promotes health lives people live longer, and fewer stressors, heart pressure, because you can respond better to these issues better.

Identify several people with whom you currently have positive relationships and /or partnerships:

1. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Q and Katie Wells Williams

2. Mrs. A. K. Smith

3. Pastor Eugene James Williams

4. Dipporah Eugenia  & Leah Elizabeth Tyler

 

·         Mr. and Mrs. Jim Q and Katie Wells Williams- My beloved parents my dad is deceased, but you were the most positive role model in my life. My mom just about all of her life helping others and now she has dementia. My sisters have to take care of her I  believe when my dad passed mom could not handle his passing. They taught all 15 children to love, respect, and love God whole heartily.

·         Mrs. A.K. Smith my eight grade teacher I thought that old lady were the meanest lady in the world. All because she use to make me get up in front of the class and read, say a poem, or just introduce myself. She would always say,” One day you may get up and before people and you will not be afraid. Because you will be used to doing it.”

·         Elder Eugene James Williams my third older brother he joined the Navy and retired in it. He was a pastor and loved God and people. I liked that my brother would keep in touch with his family, even if they were his six cousins. He lived the life he preached to others about I never heard my brother say a negative thing about a person. He has gone around the world twice, and he passed at the age of 39. He always wanted me to go to college and get an education, guess what Elder Eugene James Williams I attend at one of the best University in the world Walden University. He would have been so proud of me.

·         Dipporah Eugenia Tyler my daughter for being a great mom to her daughter Leah Elizabeth Tyler. After my husband left us, she got pregnant and tried to commit suicide, and kill the baby. Now when she found out that her moms loved her, she is full of joy. Finished school, working, and plan on going to college to become a massage thaphy.

Describe insights regarding challenges to developing and maintaining relationships that you have learned from your experience over time.

Since, I have grown up I see now that all of these people played a positive role model in my life. I used to see myself a person with low self-esteem, but all of these people help turn my thinking skills around. By not only speaking not what I cannot accomplish but what I can accomplish.  They are the reason why I am trying to make something out of my life. I also learned from my family’s that anything is possible only if I believe it, and it is never too late in accomplishing your dreams. I have also gained that no matter, what people sees or think of it is what I think of myself is going to lead me to success.

What do you see as special characteristics of these relationships that make some if any, partnerships?

In all of these people have excellent faith, confident, and wanted the same things for me. To get up from my pity bed and get upon the success wagon and be the best teacher, I can be. I can do just that because The University of Walden and the professors are great and warm and help me in accomplishing these goals. Walden and those professors will always be in my life, and I can honestly say that I love Walden University and the professors. They are the best, and this is straight up out of my sanitized heart. Tyler, C., B. (2013).

When I Think of Child Development

“The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.” (Denis Waitley).

I would like to thanks Tunyia for giving me the support I needed, and the encouragement. Thank you for all you had helped me with especially for being by an online friend. We have not met face-to-face or person-to-person but the love that you put forward in responding to my blog it makes me feel great. Again I would like to take the time out and say thank you so very much.

I would like to say it was an honor to meet you and thank you for your support and encouragement. I feel like we’ve been friends for a while you have been there for me and supported me. I just want to thank you for listening to me and being concerned about my welfare. Again I just want to say thank you so much.

I would like to thank my instructor, Professor Diane Dispagna for being a positive and valuable educator. I enjoyed this course. I think of you as a family member. I love all of you because you all gave me some much of hope and faith. “Thank you Professor and the Walden University team.”
