.....parents of young children, it is important to know how your child interacts and plays and what it means. Play is important because it helps a child's mind to develop and also the child's sense of self and motor skills to begin to grow. Children learn social skills through play, creativity through play; they learn about themselves -- their strong suits, what they can do, sense of confidence, and more.You can encourage and support play for children by taking them to the park where other children play. Your kids can watch, they can mimic, they can interact, or they play together cooperatively -- it all depends upon the stage of development they are in. These stages are also fluid and there is no need to think that they are in one stage at one time. Children will slide in and out of stages as their minds grow and process and reinforce. All the 6 stages of behavior of play are normal in children and helpful in the child's development. You can let your children play alone, with others, watch, or participate -- at parks, museum centers, and any other age appropriate place (Parten, 1933).

The child from the first age bracket (3-6) essentially scribbled across the page and did not draw any image that he could describe. The older child drew a picture of her family but the dots did not serve any purpose in the image. This surprised me because I thought that at least the older child would incorporate the dots into the picture but she did not. However, neither child seemed interested in the dots. The younger child was not even interested in drawing a picture. The older child was and drew her family, which was appropriate I felt.
UNIT 6 DISCUSSION

For this exercise, I had my 6-8 students dance to a piece of classical music. I did not tell them what type of dance to do or how to move, so this allowed them to be creative. They could also work on balance, timing and other motor skills.

This exercise is performed by turning on a recording of a piece of classical music, such as a symphony by Mozart or Beethoven. The type of classical music chosen will probably have an…

Social Services and Child Welfare in New Jersey The history of social services has its successes of children who as a result of child welfare intervention are removed from the grip of their abusers and find loving and nurturing homes. These are cases few and far between when one weighs them against those children who are moved from one foster care situation or group home to another. Then there are those

The Convention on the Rights of the Child stipulates that a child is "any human who has not attained the age of 18 years except if the law pertaining to child majority is reached at an earlier age." (Child abuse & neglect) Child abuse and abandonment, at times also ascribed to

I hypothesizes that children at what Piaget would call a preoperational stage do in fact perform complex analysis of numbers and situations, but that they approach this analysis is a tentative and relative way which is open to influence and negation from outside sources. More succinctly: children at early stages do perform conservation but consider it relative to mitigating factors and prone to correction. The following few pages will follow an

But research is very mixed on what that answer is when the data is voluntarily revealed. For example, if someone "likes" Apple on Facebook and Apple then in turn markets Apple products to that person, it should be asked whether Apple is acting improperly. Companies with products that compete with Apple could do the same thing. Research bears out that this question comes down to personal and professional ethics

Therefore, today's society in the United States is diverse, which is something a social worker needs to understand and know how to deal with each diverse group. Furthermore, through research, it has been discovered most ethnic groups that live in the United States consist of young people, which means by staying in this country, they grow accustom to their surroundings. Once they have grown accustom to living here, they
