This chapter taught me how to navigate through a child's physical and cognitive development. It's important to understand how to help a child develop their cognitive skills with safe objects. Toys should be safe for them to prevent them from hurting themselves. It's also important to know their body. Infants are delicate and could hurt themselves with any small movement. It's important to understand how a small child's body works.

Great notes on room arrangement. Children thrive in a calm, organized space. Keeping things labeled is nice for teachers as well as educational for students!

In this chapter, I learned how a child's environment is important for their development. Not only are the objects that are placed in the room important, but also they way the room is set up. For example, furniture is important because you don't want a table where children are most likely to hurt themselves on. Educators also have to keep in mind what's best for children, such as, not having the room to crowded or messy. I think having feedback with the children is important, so the educators can understand what they like best for their environment. Personally, I would love to have a classroom that's neat and has easy access for all the children's school materials!

Chapter 7 focuses mainly on communication. I learned it's important at both school and home. Educators and students need to have good communication in order for the students to learn. Not only is their knowledge important, but also their safeness. That's what both teachers and parents have in common, caring for the children's safety. Communication is important between the parents and teachers, so they know how to help the children. They could talk about their grades, they attitude, or any other concerns. It's important for everyone involved in the child's life to be able to have good communication with each other.

In this chapter, I learned how adult-children relationships are important for the child's development. Having an adult guide a child through life, is how the child will learn to develop different type of life skills. Having a safe and fun relationship will let the child know they could trust you and learn from you which is important. Having good feedback with them is also important, as they can communicate with each other. Having good communication can lead them to once again having a good relationship with each other.

Your notes on relationships with children and families are very good. Trust is important to have with the children as well as the families of the kids. In order to create a strong bond with the families, trust must be established. Parents want to hear positive feedback about their child many, many times before they will be receptive when you have a critical statement or question.

This week I learned how important it is to care for an infant. Infants are delicate and everything surrounding them affects them. Erikson's first stage showed me how infants gain knowledge at such an early age. Their caregivers are in charge to let their infants know they could trust them. It's important to put your child first and care for them so they could trust you. It makes me wonder how many infants are mistreated and not cared for properly.

Development in our body is not just changes randomly it's sequences and patterns that will define us as we grow up. It's cool how our culture and society affect these changes. We are made up by the people around us. Also, our brain is super important during all these changes. The information even infants receive is important since the brain is growing and learning by the information it takes in. It makes me wonder how much infants are affected by their surroundings even if they can not talk or walk.

Your observations are spot on, Edith! Infants are affected by EVERYTHING, even before they are born. It's an amazing phenomenon and such a fascinating topic to study. MK

Erikson's first stage is critical in the infant/caregiver relationship. Caregivers must establish trust and security by meeting the needs of infants in a consistent and appropriate amount of time. All sweet babies deserve to have a bond with someone who they can trust! MK

In this reading, I learned how chromosomes hold so much information/DNA about each person. Our DNA is so powerful and controls/influences how we look. It's kind of crazy how our genes is a mix of our parents genes in order to make "us".

It truly is fascinating how the prenatal process works! Each child is made up of a unique DNA and it shows in their personalities. Understanding this helps us understand how different and uniquer each child is. MK
