You should showcase your knowledge of how very young children develop in ways that respond to both typical situations as well as distressing or adverse situations. You should include perspectives shown in these videos as well as what you are reading, hearing, and seeing in course materials. Be certain that you integrate multiple sources of information so that you can demonstrate a full range of learning opportunities. Your original post likely will be about 5 or 6 descriptive paragraphs, following these guidelines shown here. When writing your original post, you definitely should consider the following (i.e., you must include): Describe what “serve and return” looks like in infant and early childhood development with regard to what you are learning in Module 2. For instance: How might this process look different in the sensorimotor stage compared to the preoperational stage? How might the process be defined and described differently under the assumptions of trust vs mistrust contrasted with the assumptions of autonomy vs shame/doubt or initiative vs guilt? Give some applied examples of what you are thinking here. From a multidimensional and contextual perspective, describe some of the primary impacts that stress and anxiety may have on things such as language development, social skills, emotional regulation, etc. What are the predictable effects of trauma on the developing child in the young age ranges covered in Module 2? How do environments shape these issues (for the good or for the bad)? Offer two recommendations from the cognitive perspective (Piaget, Vygotsky) with regard to specific ways to ensure healthy brain development in the first few years of life, even in the face of adversity and distress. Be specific and show me that you can think like these theorists. Offer two recommendations from the psychosocial perspective (Erikson) with regard to specific ways for ensuring healthy social and emotional development in the first few years of life, even in the face of adversity and distress. Be specific and show me that you can think like this theorist. Offer two recommendations from the ecological systems perspective (Bronfenbrenner) with regard to specific ways to ensure healthy environmental contributions to development in the first few years of life, even in the face of adversity and distress. Be specific and show me that you can think like this theorist. Think outside the box on this one!

Early childhood educators have the responsibility to advocate for children, families, the field, their program, and themselves. Knowing where to locate resources and how to become connected to different groups can help meet this responsibility. Create a community of practice resource bank. Research five groups that you may be interested in joining as a community of practice. Each community of practice should contain the following: Name of community of practice Contact information Background information on the purpose or mission of the community of practice A summary of how you would benefit from becoming a member of the community of practice A summary of how the community of practice would benefit from your membership (How will you contribute to the community of practice?). Note: A community of practice is a group of individuals who come together over an extended period of time to advocate, reach a common goal, or to develop knowledge. A community of practice is collaborative. A community of practice is not a conference, a workshop, or a resource you use sporadically or only as needed. Include a title page, a reference page, and, if needed, in-text citations. Format these components according to APA standards.

Type a minimum of 1 ½ page statement of your philosophy of family involvement in early childhood education.

Be sure to include the demographic of children you hope to work with and what you can bring to the classroom to help these children to become their best selves.
