In this week’s blog
my colleagues and I were asked to explore early childhood international
research. The site I chose was Early Childhood in Australia. Some of the research
topics within in this site were:
- Ways of thinking, acting and relating about sustainability
- Pedagogy: Programs and relationships in practice
- Professional partnerships in children’s services: Working together for children
I particularly, found interest in the events and conferences
offered for professionals who were interested in facilitating the growth,
development, and learning of children. Examples
of the conferences and classes are:
·
Sharing sensitive news with parents about their
child’s development.
·
Helping parents of late talkers use gesture to
support expressive language development.
·
Helping parents use routines to promote young
children’s interaction and language skills.
·
Coaching parents in how to play.
·
Making book reading a time for interaction and
conversation.
Early Childhood Australia, also
offers great resources, research, and references for families interested in
healthier eating habits, Asthma and asthma management, Baby and infant oral
health, and information on backyard safety.

Hi Cythia, I found we both are interested in the same website. However, our interests in this website focus on different aspect. The information of conferences and classes is really valuable to professionals and parents. I am interested in one of them "Couching parents in how to play" because my research topic is about play, which requires of the supports from parents who can have a basic understanding of play and its value to children's learning and development, and then can support children by knowing how to play with their children and extending children's play time. Thank you for sharing the information.
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteI also chose Early Childhood Australia website. I found this website to be very valuable and informative. It definitely has a great deal of information to share about the early childhood in Australia. I thought it was interesting to learn that Australia and the United States shared many of the same Early childhood topics. I definitely think that this is a valuable website for anyone who works in the early childhood field.

This research program provides an advanced way for children interested in obtaining a critical understanding of the design of professional partnerships and the knowledge required to make over. The expanding and evolving of urban culture learning in early childhood research and accomplishment, the programs will redefine education and community service as the field of informative practice.
