The website or organization I choose is relevant for me in my professional development because it gives me information that is helpful in the classroom as well as for the parents for children Zero to Three. I am currently a twos teacher and most people consider that the busiest classroom. The organization gives me information through newsletters on eating, sleeping, fun activities, and the whole child development.

Ideas on the website I found didn’t cause me to have controversial or made me think about an issue in new ways. The website is very informative about issues children may have and the best solutions for correcting the issue. This website helps me to come up with ideas on helping the children learn different skill through play. I really love reading information on the Zero to Three website.

The website helps me to understand how economists, neuroscientists, or politicians support the early childhood field by having supportive information about the well being of young children. It also shows me that they are funded because the website is accurate and have ideas for parents and teachers to help their children to grow up and become healthy and developmentally stable.

I did not find any new issues but information on babies and their growth process.

Getting to know Podcast Contacts

Podcast Contacts and Poverty Issues

I haven’t received a response to the participants of the podcast. The podcasts have been giving a lot of information about children which is helpful for teachers as well as parents. I really enjoyed the podcast about children with behavioral problems and learning some effective methods to help. Most people call the twos the stage of terrible twos but I just consider my twos as very curious and active. Having curious and active twos I received methods to help them to better manage their behaviors.  My new insights and information about the issues of poverty was very informative. I learned that the world is facing a demand for help with poverty in children and families. I also learned about different organizations that are helping children and families locally and nationally. I learned how poverty can affect the development of children and cause major developmental and psychological issues.

Zero To Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families
http://www.zerotothree.org/

ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers. The mission is to promote the health and development of infants and toddlers.

The newsletter of the podcast that caught my eye was the feeding of young children. I recently had a child age of 2 that was enrolled into my class because she was consider as a failure to thrive baby. The first time I observe the child eating I thought she was doing a wonderful job for her size. She is a Asian which I think is the reason of her side but I thought it was informative information for me to listen to the podcast to get more information about feeding and why and how babies chose to eat certain foods.
I learned many different things from when it comes to feeding children and the most important is the parent and child relationship from birth. It’s important for us to interact with the children while they are eating and model positive feeding habits. Most of these things are known but making sure that as a teacher we need to make sure we are doing these things.    

Getting Ready- Establishing Professional Contact and New Resources

Getting Ready- Establishing Professional Contact and New Resources

The steps I took this week to contact Professionals from another country was going to the website of Early Childhood Professionals of different countries, getting their email address, I introduced myself and explain why I was emailing them, and I have not gotten a responds from neither one. I may have to take the alternate assignment. Did anyone else get into contact with professionals from another country?

The process I took to select a early childhood organization is looking through most of the website and see what would help me the most with what I am doing now. I am currently a twos teacher so I choose the organization of Zero to Three to study. I thought this organization would help me to communicate with the parents as well as myself in developing the healthiest two years old.
