Session 3 Additional information: A compound called butylparaben stood out: Kids were twice as likely to be overweight when their mothers' prenatal levels of butylparaben were in the top one-third, compared to the bottom third. Girls, it seemed, were more affected than boys. The fact that butylparaben influences estrogen activity suggests a role for the hormone. But it's not clear how prenatal exposure to "estrogenic" chemicals fits into the whole picture, researchers. Study Published February 11:

Session 6 (I will be looking for a Poster, Flyer, something you developed for parents/staff -- worth 1 hour on certificate) & & Links for homework: Before you begin: please read the material on this page (you can explore more on the site as you want) https://www.ecmhc.org/temperament/03-getting-started.html To measure the adult: https://profile.keirsey.com/#/b2c/assessment/start To measure the young child: https://www.ecmhc.org/temperament/ (midway down the page) Now. Answer the following questions: 1. What did you learn about your temperament? 2. What did you learn about the young child's temperament? 3. Where do you both have "goodness of fit?" 4. Where do you have some work to do around "goodness of fit?" (where were the biggest differences) 5. What are (at least) 5 strategies you will use to improve the "goodness of fit?" & Session 9 (I will be looking for a set of "10")
&
Session 10 (I will be looking for 2 goals -- together with the list of 10, worth 1 hour on your certificate) & Session 11 (Last video session) & Final Assignment: * (Worth 1 hour on your certificate -- please answer by email and use subject line "Infant Development Final") Please answer the following 5 questions.
1. What 5 health and safety issues do you feel are the most necessary to address in family child care programs?
2. Do you feel that any of the family child care rules for RF or CF (whichever you are) do not positively correlate or fully support infant health, safety or development? Are there any that don't go far enough? Are there any that need to be put in place in your opinion?
3. When you think about optimal development for infants, what are 5 aspects of your program that you believe best support best practices and best outcomes for infants? Be specific and cite what you have learned/know about infant development.
4. When you think about optimal development for infants, what are (up to) 5 aspects of your program that you believe you could improve best practice or best outcomes? Be specific and cite what you have learned/know about infant development.
5. Think about a child that you have known/cared for (your own or a daycare child) who struggled with at least 1 domain/aspect of development (social-emotional, mental, cognitive, language, physical) and explain how the development he/she struggled with affected the rest of the baby's/toddler's development. (What I am asking you to address is how delay or trouble in 1 aspect of development affects the rest of the child's development).

Once you have submitted the "Final Assignment" I will email you an evaluation (please give me 48 hours to email you back). Please complete this (be honest -- what you say in it has zero bearing on whether or not you get a certificate) and return it to me (a photo is fine by email) and then, once I make sure that all your assignments, questions etc are turned in, I will send you the certificate (please give me 5 business days to return your certificate). It will arrive via email in PDF form and all you need to do is print a copy for your records and then upload the certificate to ORO (usually downloading it to your computer or device first).
