CHFD331 Week 3 Discussion Promoting healthy behaviors in children

Managing stress in a family today is important. Explain some of the reasons families experience stress and what are positive ways to reduce that stress?

Are there any areas where you think parenting today, in general, is lacking? While this could be a long list, make sure you include one of these three topics in your reply-  nutrition, sleep, media availability. Please explain why?

Support your writing with facts and outside information.  Your post cannot be solely opinion.

CHFD331 Week 2 Discussion Foundations and values that influence parenting

This week our forum looks at the foundations of where we learn to become parents.  Please answer both parts within your initial posting. Remember to review grading feedback from previous week to improve your discussion this week. Follow the rubric when you develop your posting.

As for all forum questions, please use the forum question to guide your discussion and write your post in a paragraph(s) format. You do not want to repost the question and then insert your answer. Using references to support your work is important that correct APA format uses in-text citations. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

We learn parenting skills from many places. Perhaps our biggest influence on our attitude towards parenting is from our parents and how we were raised. We also are influenced by media, science, religion, and other sources.  

Our question is, what if a license was required to become a parent, as suggested by David Lykken in our week one readings. What do you think should be required to obtain that license? At first blush you may think this could never happen, and it may not.  But the point is to think of why a license could be needed; think of the benefits, what would be needed to overcome objections. How do values enter in to the discussion?

Use one theory from this list and apply it to your argument of license or not.

• Erikson's Lifespan Theory of Development
• Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Theory of Development
• Jean Piaget's Constructivist Theory
• Socio-Culture Theory of Lev Vygotsky

   

CHFD331 Week 2 Assignment - Parenting Class Flyer

Instructions

Week 2

During weeks 1 and 2 you have explored how parenting expectations, experiences and styles are influenced by many factors. The learning resources suggest several ways to provide parenting information and related family supports. For Assignment 1 due Week 2 you will use this information to create an enticing flyer for a parenting class that is designed to help prepare new parents. Your flyer should include:

1. The purpose of the parenting class – including why it is important
2. At least 5 distinct topics that will be addressed in the class noting why each is important. Be sure to cite resources to back this up.
3. Be creative – how would you entice parents or parents to be to come?

Flyer length minimum 500 words, 2 academic references used, MS word or RTF format only.

   

CHFD331 Week 1 Discussion

Part two- 

Please support your writing with facts and information.  Your post cannot be solely opinion.

 Reflect upon your ideal parenting style even if you are not yet a parent. Why do you think this is a better style for you, and, provide research or academic support for your thoughts.

   

 

CHFD312 Week 4 Discussion Communication Disorders

Communication Disorders

Scenario:

Jane is a first grade student who appears to be experiencing both expressive and receptive language difficulties. She has attended her home school since kindergarten and both Jane and her parents are native English speaking. Her kindergarten teacher did not document any difficulty with language in school records or mention anything to the parents.

Her first grade teacher has noticed that Jane experiences problems with orally expressing herself clearly and responding appropriately to what others say to her without a visual support or repeated attempts but no formal interventions have been tried.  Jane's parents have not been contacted yet. Her first grade teacher is concerned that Jane may have a specific learning disability because her language is affecting her ability to read, and do math, however she is not sure about how to get Jane the help that she may need.

Which of the two solutions works best?

1. Should Jane's teacher be referring her, now, for an evaluation related to a Specific Learning Disability (SLD)? Why? Why Not? (Consider the following:  Rti requirements for a referral for SLD, classroom interventions or strategies used, parent contact and other ideas as appropriate) 

2. What interventions in the classroom could Jane's teacher implement in order to help Jane with her expressive and receptive language problems? Describe at least 3 interventions.

      

CHFD312 Week 3 Discussion Specific Learning Disabilities

One of the most common exceptionalities you may encounter as an educator is a Learning Disability.  It is not always possible to be well versed on each exceptionality that you may encounter so it is important to rely on resources that can be accessed in a time of need. You can pick one or two topics from this list in addition to RTI --dyslexia, processing disorders, non-verbal disability, auditory processing, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or learning disabilities. Sorry, ADHD is not on this list, we will get to it in a few weeks. Explain what the exceptionality is, how it is addressed in schools, and any common problems these students may face.

 

CHFD312 Week 2 Discussion Inclusion

Inclusion of students with disabilities into the regular education classroom, is an important component of IDEA. Read arguments regarding inclusion (both pros and cons) from both of the websites listed below and write a response regarding inclusion and whether you believe it is practical or not.

Including Students with Disabilities in General Education Classrooms

Inclusion: The Pros and Cons

Part two- The topic we will have this week and in the coming weeks is advocacy. I have included a case study. It is a real 504 plan. Briefly- what happened was this student received a D in his English class, the first D ever. The problem is there are safeguards in the 504 that were not followed. You can read along in the narrative and see just how long it takes for an advocate to get things addressed (Yes, this is an actual narrative from emails and meetings).

/content/enforced/29364-452743/Week 2 case study part two.docx

What are your thoughts about what happened? Was the procedure followed? If you were the parent, what are your options? Any surprises?

THURSDAY morning I will be posting what happened and the second part of the story. Don't be late in your initial post this week! I would like to hear your thoughts on the rest of this story!
