The organization I selected to share information
about was Zero to Three
Website: http://www.zerotothree.org/about-us/funded-projects/parenting-resources/podcast/
ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization
that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents in
their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers. Their mission is to
promote the health and development of infants and toddlers. (Zero to three,
2012)
I
particularly like the podcast that were available on the website. It was easy
to navigate and they were
informative.
The particular podcast that I listened
too was based on a survey to various parents, which
questioned
how young children developed and whether they had self-control. What does it look like
when
a child doesn’t have it (self-control)… young
children shouldn’t have to have the ability to use
strategies
to use appropriate behavior… for example to throw a ball at mommy in the park
but knowing
it
is unacceptable to throw a ball at someone who is not participating in the game
at the age of one to
two
years old. Those concrete understandings have yet to be cemented into their
brains. 43% of
parents
believe by age 3 children should be able
to control their emotions and not have tantrums,
however
we have to focus parents inappropriate discipline techniques with expectations
of the child
and
their age, and gear them to the appropriate age driven ways of adapting to
young children.
