Has the environment been really a matter?
The Children
are blanks, the society who fills the blanks.
Children are unique individuals who stimulate by the environment. Even
though human has the same body parts, same shape of the brain, responding and think in a different ways.
Children take a long time to be independence but it needs to start from the
childhood with a step by step process. Family and community influenced their
developmental patterns. Every person has
their own developmental pattern. We can't get the same result still giving a
same education to the same age group
because of the varying developmental
patterns. For understanding our
responsibilities and duties as an educator, caregiver and a parent it is very
important to recognize the child in context of family and community, How socialization
and the family relate to the child and issues of bias and understanding
attachment, trust and parenting.
Children like
blank papers . Society
(environment) filled the blanks. Children have no idea about the world and around them. They build with
others beliefs and thoughts until becoming independence. Child's
name , last name where to live,
what culture and how they raised, What religion to believe this all decided by
the environment (Parents/ Relatives and society around him). Parents and the community around us who decided to
pierce the girl's ear. Children who died
from the war has no idea what is it and why they fight. Children are absent
minded and slowly believe what's around them. Societal change the man. It's
similar to having an empty glass filled with different colored water . What is
good &bad explain by the culture, ethnicity and country etc. Ecological
theory successfully describe how micro system directly influences child life.
Once a child grown up Mesosystem will directly influence and Exosystem and Macro
System will directly effect in adolescence. I agree and am fond of how Gonzalez
Mena wrote on her book child,family and
community how child influence on adult"As people affect the child, so the
child has an influence on them". Today family centered programs are more
widespread as author address the customer in a child care setting is family.
Parents are more educated than before and they are expecting best for their
children from child care setting. Therefore developing parent interactions in
schools are helping to build a healthy , better learning environment for all
parties. It is very important to understand
deeply their family environment
to find out child development needs. As author state children below poverty or
low income has a right to receive equal quality education. California has many
programs for low-income families and also provide money to pay for child care.
Once teacher -parent identify their roles and solve issues calmly and respectively
support to receive emotional security and help children to develop and learn.
Parents need expert help for parenting. As how hospital provide how to care their
newborn child, preschool teacher support parent to be a child's first teacher.
NAEYC standards described Building
family relationship is greatly support to find out child's behavior, viewpoint
and his ability. Teacher supposes to understand child culture and the family
custom to give better result. Therefore understanding their families , communities
and involving all family for learning environment can prepare children for a
better future. In my child care setting I educate parents and ask them what
they expect from me. I also make sure not to offend their parenting practices
but respectively discussed certain matters. Maslow hierarchy of needs very important
to me as a caregiver and a business owner. Without complete Level1 it is impossible to state self esteem.
Socialization through family and
community build a strong person to the society. The Microsystem to macrosystem
directly and indirectly effect to socializing. As address in book. Do you think
human action reflects their family background , culture and social class? Somewhat
true but I have personal experiences human change through environment and
create totally different person beside his class. The culture's effect of being
socialized in a family and community. Also parent thinking patterns , who are
the people and network family tied to , Family class and states cause in child
growth. Therefore I agree how the author writes about classism and Racism. I
have many experiences about racism and I think it drives me to think
differently. But my educational background held me back being racial and discriminated.
I think overcome racism is the education which build healthy, valuable
interpersonal skills. Therefore I always teach my children not to address
people by their color. furthermore, The community/family - child relationship is more
significant because of the strong
influence on the child character (quality of the relationship) rather than the
technical and educational background of the person. The importance of
interpersonal relationship is an association
rather than persons knowledge, specialty or techniques (Boltan 1989).
The caregiver who connects with the child perspective/needs will improve cognitive development, self awareness
and phychosocial development. Learning is processed through the sharing of
concern. The activities what build interpersonal relationships between child
will develop a protective bond . When the caregiver aware and respond to child
concern , trust will develop. Therefore caregiver
should express love, caring and a strong relationship with the students are
more vital. Attachment behaviors indicate signs between parents and infants. We
believe in obstacles to attachment for the child and parents have communicated
since pregnancy. If there are any unhappy moments during pregnancy period, it reflects
from the child. Therefore it is significant to understand every parent and
child and their attachment pattern. It helps me as a caregiver to identify
which area child needs to develop and his capacity. Also attachment style differs
in different cultures. Some culture identifies children needs to be independent
soon and some think parent need to support children in every way. Also Parent
is unlike caregiver , caregiver has to have equal attention to every child.
Now you know
how import child to grow in an appropriate environment. The development
theories to create a supportive environment for children as a caregiver. Therefore
every person has a responsibility about our future , our children. Parents need
to pay more attention to children. Being independence is not children to grow however or do
whatever. If we plant a good seed we can get a valuable harvest. Parents have the primary
responsibility about their children. Community pressure their position.
