DAYCARE CHILDREN

Developmental Progression in Daycare Children

ABSTRACT

One of the main functions of parenting is to create an environment that allows the child to reach his full potential in all areas of development: physical, cognitive and psychological. Although usually progresses in these three areas are intertwined, often proves to be a precursor of physical development compared to the cognitive and psychological. In turn, the progress achieved in these spheres have affect on subsequent physical development. Children learn who they are, those with whom they live and relate. They also understand the relationships between them. The task is to help everyone understand that when these behaviors are adaptive and have a useful purpose but are now ill-adapted and have no useful purpose. In the latter case, the children who have only two options: agree with us and continue to be abnormal or disagree and maintain the same behavior as usual, trying to make them more useful in terms of secondary gains. Therefore this study will focus on the daycare children and its developmental progression using primary research methodology.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background

Daycare is the provision of care for a child through either a daycare center (nursery) or family-run, home daycare. Daycare differs from individual childcare by babysitters or nannies in that providers care for several children at one time. Daycare is typically used by working parents to care for children below the age of 5; however, many daycare facilities also offer before- and after-school care.

In general, if there are delays in one area of development, these affect other key areas. Once the child is "stuck" in terms of development in any of the three main areas, it is likely that the effects on the continued growth and evolution will be felt in other spheres. The growth and evolution of the child are a function of the interactions between him, the closest family members, particularly the parental figures, and its environment. Problems relating to even one of these three variables can cause the disruption of normal developmental progression. (Lynch 2007) One of the key tasks of development of each child is learning to interact with others and display appropriate behavior. Young children in daycare are developing their sexual identity (the realizations of which are either a boy or a girl) and the role assigned to each sex (see the social characteristics of girls and boys). (Magnuson 2007)

Rationale

Daycare children also deepen their understanding of relationships and values. Instead, these important achievements of early childhood development are the cornerstone of development and evolution of sexuality as and when the child becomes an adolescent and the adolescent becomes an adult. When children grow up and develop relationships with members of their families and their comrades who are still learning about sexuality. Most children, who enter, for any reason, the system of placement of children, meet with problems related to continued growth and evolution, from the ...
