Research that Benefits Children and Families— Uplifting Stories, Option 1:

It is extremely important for all children to know their relatives and the next of kindred. My brother the later Pastor Eugene James Williams a retiree of the United States Navy believe in keeping in contact with his families. They can be from the first unto the tenth he would always ask “How is Cousin Christina?” or "When have you seen Uncle Henry?”. My brother would get on the telephone and called around to different family members. Find out where Cousin Christina lived, and he would drive many miles to go and see her. My brother proved that he loved his families and friends because he believed that every child needs to know his/her families so they would not get involve with them in a negative way I miss him because children need to know whom they are, and where they come. I believe that this is an issue in society today.

 Nobody wants to become an advocate for young children like my brother did. I remember he hated Mrs. Alberta Smith better known as Mrs. A.K. Smith she was an eighth grade professor. My brother disliked her because she would make him stand in front of the class and make him read or tell something about himself. Mrs. A.K. Smith said, "I have you to stand before the class so when you get older in life; you may have to face a tremendous crowd, and you will not face fear.” Guess What”? My brother joined the United States Navy, and years later he became an Evangelist and a Pastor of Powerhouse Church of God in Christ. Went around the world twice spreading the gospel to all races preaching the word of God. After Pastor Williams joined the United States Navy he came home to Columbus, Mississippi and went to Macon Mississippi to locate Mrs. AK. Smith. He did not know where she lived or where she still alive or decease. Pastor Williams found AK. Smith and thanked her for making him stand in from of his eight grade class.

My Personal Research Journal

The topic I chosen is Ways to influence healthy relationship through teacher-child interactions

            I chose this topic because it is extremely important for teachers to have a positive relationship with the students. Because learning should be fun and if the child is comfortable he/she will accomplish the goals they set out to do. We as professionals must realize that every child deserve the right to get an education. Children need to be touched several times a day to develop a safe, healthy, and learning environment.

 My Personal Experience with This Topic

My personal experience I have been a preschool teacher about three years. Now I am an infant/toddler teacher by experience I learned that when you have a positive relationship with the student’s progress will be successful. Because children feel comfortable, safe, and love and this help them the will to achieve the knowledge they need. Also, too many teachers do not realize how important it is to develop a relationship with the child’s parents. Because the parents are the children first teachers and they can give out information about the child. This information can help the teacher to know about the child’s weakness and strengths. This will help both the teacher and the parent to know what areas the child need help in.

I have gained insights about the chart that I do not understand it. But it makes me work hard to get the understanding I need. I think it is very interesting to learn something new. I want to drop this class because I have the slighted idea about it. I encourage myself “A quitter never wins, and a winner never wins.” I can not give up now I am passing this class. I am a firm believer in this class. This question I want to ask my colleagues is can you all please help me with some insights and to share resources with me.

International Consequences on Issues and Trends/Final

Three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field are about the Resources, Policies, and staff. The proof and evidence of these resources, policies and the staff, was being known in the IPods, websites and e-mails. The international website, the CEO/Executive Director, welcomes you by writing and explaining what they do, and presented, and who they were.  The staff is well qualified and is apt to teach and is trained to work with families and their children’s.  Poverty is the main issue in young children and their families’ lives. United States is not the only state that has this issue there are over millions of people that suffer from poverty. This international party even has their own television show to ask for donations, and they even have their own e-mail address. They have their own school which is operated by people to help families who live in poverty. They even advertised that every child has the right to receive knowledge and to attend school. Policies are ensuring that every high-quality programs, but as you can see the consequence is that they need support to establish a high- quality program for every child. These programs are ran by private donations, and they are non- profit programs. Through these international organizations, the Staff, Resources and Policies are to encourage and recruit many advocates, mentors to ensure children with the health and strength they need for learning and development as possible.

Getting to Know Your International Contacts-Part 3

This agency sends out e-mail and resources around the world. They send out resources and e-mail to get help them to provide millions of children nutrition's food, life-saving healthcare, protection from abuse and the chance to go to school. I had no idea that girls are being discrimination against for their rights. I never thought that girls have the most violence, poverty, and marginalization in the world. UNESCO's talked about the girl rights violated by early marriages and not giving a change in growing up as a child. Too many are being lacking in opportunity and remains a lifelong sentence to inequity and injustice. There are thirty- two million girls are not attending school. USNECO is committed to ensuring every girl has access to quality education. They are making sure that girls stay in school. To ensure that girl is adapted with ministries of education to trans-policy maker, planes, mangers and teachers. Strive to provide young women and girls with second chances if they never enrolled or dropped out of school. these goals guiding UNESCO's Global Partnership, for girls and Women's Education, launched in 2011 and working closely with the private sector.

Getting to know your International Contact-Part 2

Zero to Three- Dr. Jerlean Daniel is the executive director of the National Association for the Education of Young Children and was the director of a center for 18. Dr. Daniel shared some insights and information that caught my eyes and my understanding. She talked about the qualifications of a good child day provider working with young children and families. Dr Daniel stated how parents and child care providers can work together to affect the welfare of children. One of the questions was asked was what’s the meaning of a quality child care center? Dr. Daniel,” There is nothing too small or large to talk about the well fare of a child, even if the two parties feel a little uncomfortable with it.” The most valuable tool there is the relationship between the child care provider and the parent.  A parent who is curious and anxious about who is caring for their child’s while they are apart from each other. Dr. Daniel also explained that it is essential for parents to ask questions and keep an eye out on her child’s well fare. It is extremely important to respect each other opinions and ideas. Dr. Daniel talked about that most parents think of child care providers as, a baby sitters. Child care providers does not get nearly the amount of wages they deserve, and the parent’s feel comfortable when they drop their child off and realized they can trust the child care givers.

Dr. Daniel also mentioned that if the parent does not feel comfortable in leaving the child with the caregivers it is time to go. It is extremely important to look for a child care program that workers are talkative and communicate easily.  The most insight I got out of Zero to Three podcast was when Dr. Daniel Stated,” Look for the small matters and situations because they can develop into large ones.” This is so true and important for me as a professional in the field of early childhood education.

Describe in particular the additional information about issues of equity and excellence you acquired from your international sources

If you walk into a classroom and the child care providers have just one toy on the selves. This produces a problem between the children while at play. Because the children will   fuse over who had the toy.  When there is a lack in equipment the situation can cause a problem between the students. Children need something to do, and it is essential for there  is an equal amount of toys on the self. There should be similar toys to keep down confusion between the children while, they are interaction. Research has studied that 20% of the family cannot afford child care service because of the economy.  When the parent cannot afford child care it makes it hard for them to go to war because there is no day care.  Another experience the child has to go from place to place because the same relative cannot keep the child. The parents need to ask questions about the child’s care givers. How long the child provider has been working with children and because the child’s needs to be attached to his/her care givers?   It is not good for the child to be moved from room to room and different care givers. Parents need to be able to visit the child at any giving time. Every child is treated with the highest of respect whether the child has a disability, a delay, or specific needs. Care givers need suppose to write a child off or never give up on children.

What information does the website or the website or e-newsletter contain that adds to your understanding of how economists, neuroscientists, or politicians support the early childhood field?

The information that adds to my understanding is that even while the economists, neuroscientists, or politicians are spreading the words and supporting early child education with getting the word out there into the communities by means of e-mails, network, videos, newspapers, and word of mouth. Information on, how to help contributions funding and keep in contact with the organizations. It also gives information about a child who indeed in needs for support to help supply him/her a home and a nurture meal.

The insights about issues and trends in the early childhood field from exploring the website is that there is all sort, colors, races and cultural backgrounds are thriving for the same thing. They are putting their heart and soul into helping young children to be healthy and stop the spread of starvation. There are many issues and trends in the United States concerning young children and their families. There is a huge concern about funding early childcare programs the professionals does not have the fully qualifications because no college education. There are families that live outside of the district for early childhood centers so they cannot attend school. Because most of the families that have children in early childhood are single parents and does not have transportation.
