Part 1: Understanding Children’s Behavior and Parenting Practices
1.1. Parent Interviews: Interview five (5) parents and ask them the following: 1) What is meant by discipline? 2) What is meant by positive child guidance? 3) Is there a difference between discipline and positive child guidance? Record each parents response separately. No not use parents names on your report.
Then, write a brief summary in response to the following: 1) What did you learn from the parents responses? 2) How can you help educate parents in guiding their children?
2. 2. Parenting Style: Considering the following two (2) parenting styles (Authoritarian and Permissive), write a brief summary of how you might work with a parenting representing each one of these parenting styles, recognizing that authoritative is the preferred parenting style. In your summary, be sure to ask yourself: What would be the challenges of working with this parent? What would be the benefits? How could you encourage the parent to use a more authoritative parenting style?
1.3. Typical Childrens Behavior: Create a handout for parents with typical behaviors of children with respect to the typical ages and stages (infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children). For instance, why do babies cry? Or, why do toddlers feel so attached to an object? (Note: You are required to have a handout for each age group specified i.e. one for infants, one for toddler, one for preschoolers and one for school-age children.)
1.4. Respecting Cultural Diversity: List four (4) multicultural childrens books for preschool aged children that you consider to be excellent stories. Provide a brief description (2-4 sentences) of each book. Each book should demonstrate one of the following: women in nontraditional roles, people of color in leadership roles, people with disabilities doing activities familiar to children, and nontraditional types of families.
