F., & Boyle, O. F. (2016). This was interesting to me, as a mother myself, this theory is exactly how my children have learned to speak. In my background of early childhood education, this theory is common practice for children to develop their cognitive and language skills. Engaging in conversation to connect small phrases to sentences creates opportunities for children to expand their comprehension of the language.

Child health assessment interaction model Child health assessment interaction model” (CHAIM) was developed by Kathryn E Barnard in the year 1994. It is mainly used to assess the primary relationship between mother and child. Children learn through daily experiences based on the help they received during stressful situations. A child, whose experience is characterized by getting the help needed when distressed, develops the trust needed to move on to further developmental challenges.

So giving the technology to all children early does not mean they all will advance from it. The risks that are given above associated with giving them full access to the technology at this early age outweighs the minimal benefits. (Consider discussing some of those risks.) Children under the age of five should not be given full access to technology because they can develop bad habits such as addiction, causes obesity, and become disengaged in the long run.

Failure to develop trust will result in fear and belief that the world is unpredictable and inconsistent. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (toddlerhood): Following infants’ understanding of a predictable environment, toddlers are starting to realize if they can depend on others. At this stage, toddlers are a step towards developing as an individual, in other

Mind’s Eye strategy could be one of their best ways to solve this problem. This strategy can develop students visualization and improve students reading comprehension as the technique includes students memory and asking them to be more critical in giving their perception and prediction. According to Silver, Strong and Perini (2007) mind’s eye is a reading strategy that is used by the teacher to improve students critical skill of the words on the page into memorable images. When the students read about a text the students will combine their background knowledge with the information that is gotten in the text. In addition, Sejnost (2009) states that this strategy is started by the students who listen to the keywords which are mentioned by the teacher and then attempt to visualize what are they hearing by making pictures in their minds.

So, one of the most effective methods for teaching young kids about diversity is through books. By reading multicultural books with multicultural characters help children learn and love. Many books include plays between the characters, teachers can use these advantages to help children be these multicultural characters and interact as they were in it.

Communication is a very important part between children and teacher during the lesson.

In Chapter ten of Through the Eyes of a Child Norton explains informational books and their values. Informational books are nonfiction books that are used to write reports and/or expand knowledge about history, space, animals, plants, geography, or how things work. Everyone values these types of books in schools, homes, libraries, and every educational place found in our country, because their contents are carefully evaluated (Norton 494). The number one value of informational books is that they have such great and trusted information about everything we would ever want to get and learn from.

Developing children’s language and literacy through modelling reading books aloud, or one on one discussion’s not only encourages conversations and collaborative thinking but also helps children gain a deeper understanding by being able to listen and absorb the language being used around them. Allowing children to be actively engaged with a book such as retelling a story though dramatisation or inviting children to play with objects related to concepts or characters in the book (Wasik & Bond, 2001) increases a child’s comprehension and language development. Early childhood settings base their pedagogy and practice around a play based program, I believe that children learn through hands on experiences as they experiment with the trial and error of their actions. John Dewey’s (1897) philosophy of progressive education redirected today’s early childhood education as it emphasizes the need to learn by doing, as he believed that human beings learn through a ‘hands on’ approach. Children must be able to interact and explore with their environment in order for them to adapt and learn, by creating a child-centred approach in an early childhood setting this allows for the child’s needs and interests to be catered for.
