Parents often ask me what to do if they choose to care for their children if they have to look away at work. The answer to this question depends on their expectations, needs, requirements for planning and budgeting for nursing. In this article, I have a list of questions frequently asked by parents' together with the responses from the professional point of view. I will also do some basic information on early childhood, so parents can make a decisionon those who choose to care for their children, if they stay away from them.
E 'should be noted that there are two types of care for young children: 1)' out meant that for children is safe and healthy, and 2) It insists that meant for children are healthy and safe, while simultaneously opportunities training which prepare children for formal education (K-grade 12) and daily life. Secondly, parents should understand that the birth ofBrain not fully developed. In fact, a huge amount of learning occurs in early childhood (from birth to age seven years). Then select the type of parental care, if the concern for the health and safety of children, or if the treatment is educational opportunities are the primary caregiver should, at least, understand and use "best practices" for the development of children healthy.
child development specialists to see and use to describe the empirical research on bestPractices. Best practices will be shown that the development needs of speech "whole child". The "whole child" is composed of five separate self, and all those who have certain skills to help children reach their full potential. They are: 1) the cognitive self - the part of the child who thinks, solves problems, makes decisions and perceived or interpreted information. Each of these tasks require specific skills that are in early developmentChildhood, 2) the creative - the part of the child, that something new has been created from existing materials. Today, in America, creativity is grossly underestimated, but the treatment of diseases, the solution to complex problems of our nation and all the comforts of mankind are the result of creativity. Children need materials that give them the opportunity to help create their masterpieces given, without criticism, when adults who grow up and think outside the box, 3)emotional self - that part of the child (sad, happy, frustration, anger, etc.) feel. Children learn to control their emotions, or fail to learn to control their emotions during early childhood. The primary caretakers of young children have much to do with whether they can develop appropriate emotional regulation skills, 4) the social self - the part of the child, interacting with others. Children learn appropriate social skills and inadequate by their primary caretakersduring childhood, 5), the physical self - the part of the child who navigates the body through the physical world. physical skills include developing crawling, walking, running, writing, painting, etc. These skills begin in infancy and build on each other. Therefore, early physical skills crucial to the development of physical skills of tomorrow. Of course, children, physical and biological needs like food, medical care, appropriate care and a safe and warmEnvironment.
The different skills with each of the five are from early childhood development. These skills are the odds that the primary caretaker, the children in the early years of development of development. models are the primary caretakers for children and ways to respond to those of the primary caretaker for the diverse needs of children, including their mistakes and their errors of fact deliver powerful messages to children. ThisMessages can be positive or negative effects on brain development of children, and these effects have long-term consequences for children. The information about themselves, children learn (for example, are competent jurisdiction than I am) hard-wired from their primary carers during the early childhood development in their brains and make the imprint of the feet for their entire life cycle . A common mistake that is made by parents is to believe that their young child just needs someone to feedchanging diapers, and keep them, while parents are away. While the maintenance of these home for the physical needs of children as important, such practices not only provide care appropriate to the needs of cognitive, creative, emotional and social needs of developing countries in children.

During this time, the young developing brain than the hard disk of aComputer. Adults who spend more time with young children (eg parents, guardians, teachers, etc.) have the greatest influence on brain development. These are the adults to teach the child, intentionally or not, he or she is lovable, worthy and able to succeed in a variety of situations and settings. In other words, are the adults who spend the majority of children with programs of the developing brain. Due to the nature of the brain, it is almost impossibledeprogram early learning.

In summary, defines the fixed wiring of the brain, the space required for life baby!
Q5. What is the difference between child guidance and positive punishment? First, it is important to recognize that if the children behave badly thereis a target for his misconduct. Whether children have a physical or emotional need, which is not observed, or explore their environment because they want to know more, these are all reasons that the conduct at times children are insecure, annoying or inappropriate. As guardians of children to ensure that they learn appropriate social behaviors and support them in emotional regulation should, it is important to ensure that adults during these tasksProtection of children's self-esteem, self-esteem, self-concept, efficacy, autonomy, industry, and a number of other properties, maintain and develop its children and their best to be yourself.

Tip 2: The sequence of positive child guidance is that children develop appropriate social skills, learn the most appropriate way to regulate their emotions, develop healthy self-esteem start behavior and raise healthy, effective cognitive abilities in making sound estimates of self and self-concept. Punishment is the opposite of positive child guidance.
D6. Can you give an example of positive discipline versus child guidance? Yespositive parenting advice, we simply say the child what to do. Finally, we tell the child what we do not want to do, and often even without physically damage a child, adults can make claims that children feel bad holiday. Psychological abuse is cautiously and in a way that children feel worthless, and perhaps defined fear of leaves of errors. The children, the fear of failing, afraid to explore, create, or to thinkdrop out of the box out of fear. to make the exploration, creativity and mistakes are part of life and learning, and are used by almost all the comforts of humanity.
Imagine a small child climbs on a chair. He is there and the room looks very interesting. Perhaps it begins to jump from his chair and onto the floor. "Wow," thinks this is funny. The teacher or parent comes in and is angry for a number of reasons. The chair is not tobe used as a springboard, the child could be injured, and perhaps adults is already something different in life that has nothing to do with the behavior of the angry child. However snaps of adults and children begin to ask, "What's wrong with you How many times must I tell you that you do not know how to listen?" These types of statements that imply that there is a problem with the child.
With positive child guidance, knowledge, adults can help children in the design,useful at other times in their lives. On the positive side the limits of driving and lower limits for children, and the reasons for the boundaries and limits, can be discussed according to the age of the child. This process allows children to cognitive skills, safety and the opportunity to develop attitudes, and allows children the opportunity to make better decisions for themselves. When children make better choices for the environment (adults, other children) react in a positive andthese replies, it sends the message that the child is competent, worthy and lovable. If people believe that others of them have a positive outlook, healthy self-esteem, self-concept and self-efficacy are established.
are the main problems with out punishment and that children are abused for their decisions and, worse, children are often not told why their choice is inappropriate and not given opportunity to make better decisions. Some adults believe that they do not neednothing to explain to children, because "after all, I am the adult and the child is a child." But this idea really reflects the failure of adults to respect children's feelings, needs, feelings, frustrations and the natural inclination to explore the world they live in, also, these ideas and thoughts that adults like children understand the world and I know how effective and appropriate way to deal with their feelings and explorationTrends.
Examples of punishment than positive child guidance: 1) A child is standing on a chair. With adults worth making statements like: "What's wrong with you You know it is not certain how many times do I have to say, not the presidency does not want to hear you have to run out of time .. It is not a chair in the chair ?.'ll be hurt, "2) positive adult guidance children make statements like:" I need you to sit on the chair so that you will be safe ..You sit on your own or can help you. "While the work is in this type of declaration of adults walking toward the child, to provide it, placing the child if the child has no choice but to do it alone, adults can then say something like that." I make fun too high, but I want you to be safe. If I want to stand next to you while you around in his chair and looks at me. "
There are many statements that can be done to help the children to do what we can do evendestroy their curious nature. Parents should note caretakers and teachers to ensure that positive children not to use punishment. Comments should be for long periods and during different times of day. This gives parents' idea if caretakers and teachers to use positive child guidance to all children all the time, although most children are "bad behavior".
Q4. How do I choose a quality preschool or educateChild care? Today, some twelve million children receive care outside of their family estate, or 1 in 7 pre-school children are considered only to be of high quality. In California, the family home care providers and preschool center are both committed to care of the community of license of a license issued by. This license is a guide for a house or a nursery school in health and safety requirements set minimum standards were once (eachperson living at home or in nursery school has occupied the FBI sent a criminal background check by, sharp objects, toxic elements are blocked, etc..) provider of household must have a current CPR card of completion of training, and Health and safety training certificate, but there are no training courses, certificates of completion or professional experience required. Kindergartens have order, but set by the State of accredited Pre-K teacher if the teacher will be left alone withChildren.
Although not required by the State of California on that date, there are an increasing number of nannies and family providers, pre-K registration information and / or graduates in this field. This is ideal for families who care about and / or education for their children because there are many more opportunities available to them. With more options, parents have a better chance of cure or education and to find the best with the needs of their family.
Both familiesto provide for their families needs they should ask those who spend the first important moment with their children to conduct a series of questions about their training in early childhood education, knowledge about the effects of adult Nanny select a provider of family , a preschool center or the development of the brain, and if the teacher or an adult to spend time with their children, positive parenting advice or punishment should be used (questions like "What would you do if my child was onCounter? ").
Here are some sample questions:
• What level of Pre-K Credential / Permit Hold?
Everything is like the effect of punishment on the brain in the developing world?
• What are your long-term goals for my son (the one that the teacher should expect your child will, cognitively, creatively, emotionally, socially and physically at the end of the year?
• What kind of curriculum do you develop each of these skills?
· What you say, my sonif their behavior deemed inappropriate?
• How many interviews with teachers will be announced within a year?
• How many authentic assessment will be done to my son every day or week? These are parent-teacher conference?
· There is an electronic version sent to the parent-teacher conference with me?
• When I get samples of my child with interpretations to explain the development of my child?
Parents should note theThe answers to the questions put them on a teacher or guardian, and therefore often observe whether in practice what they have reported their behavior. Parents helping their desire that their children develop a deep respect for other cultures must be checked using the books and curricula in your home or school. Some questions to consider:
• There are families with different skills represented in the books?
• are represented families and individuals of different sizesin books?
· The art on the walls reflecting a multicultural world?
D6. How do I know if it's better to hire a babysitter, instead of my son in a family home provider, or select a pre-school center? Children are different from each other and families should understand that there is a one size fits all when it comes to selection of appropriate treatment and / or educational environment for children. First, each family must decide whether they prefer the one-child care, orChild care and education. Second, each family must decide if their child has the temperament to do better setup at home, a family of small or larger infant school. Sometimes families do not know in what best for their child until the child begins that journey. Relax, nothing is set in stone. Families are discovering that the choice is not made such a good job, as they are able to expected changes. Sometimes children too big for a situation that has workedgood for a long period of time.
Sometimes the choice is the choice between hiring a baby-sitter, the choice of a family home provider or center nursery has nothing to do with the child's temperament, but everything to do, preferably with their parents' finances, work plan and / o. Remember, there are high-quality nanny, providers of family and preschool facilities. And the opposite is true. What do you get to know parents, the problems of primary school teacher or janitor asktheir children, parents would often come and observe the behavior of teachers or supervisors before enrolling their children in all settings.
After the registration takes place, should parents with their first child in the facility who have chosen their child in the "trust" building with primary and secondary schools (teacher assistant) must be a guardian and / or teachers to stay. Children who may have a difficult time in a broader framework that better on a smaller scale or a smaller group ofChildren.
Final Comment: There are those who have completed course work to decide in early childhood, however, the strategies they have learned to use. There are those who do not have a job early childhood education have not yet completed the course are naturally gifted when it comes to working with children. I do not want to make sure that my children will be cared for by people who are not very well informed about the impact that the behavior of adults have focused on brain development, but I would choosemy children cared for by people who use punishment as a child positive orientation.
