Description

Introduction:

We have covered a tremendous amount of information this semester regarding the development of infants and toddlers. If you are currently working with babies, or plan to, your understanding of their development is a critical factor in providing quality care. Information that is learned, but not applied is of little use. There are many caregivers of babies who have not had the specialized training and education that this class has provided. This final exam will give you an opportunity to consider what is most important in understanding the development of babies and their care and to share that information.

Assignment:

You have been asked by the director of your program to provide staff training for newly employed caregivers of babies 2-36 months. This is a great opportunity for you to share what you’ve learned in this class. Time is limited, so you can only share what you consider the 10 most important things they should understand about infants and toddlers before beginning their assignments. Here are the instructions:

1. Create an informative handout that they could use as a reference.

2. The handout should include 10 things you consider the most important. DO NOT copy a list from online (this will earn a “0” on the assignment). The list can be pulled from the information discussed throughout the course.

3. Each of the ten items should be thoroughly explained, using references from the TEXT and only the TEXT.

4. The handout should be organized in such a way that information is easily accessed. That includes numbering and subject divisions, if necessary.

5. The handout should include graphics or other additions to add to its interest.

6. It should include an introductory paragraph.

7. It should include information about development and about care.

Rubric:

For full credit of 50 points your exam should:

1. Include 10 thoroughly explained items

2. Include specific citations for each of the ten - including title, author, and page number of the text.

3. Include graphics or other supplemental information

4. Include an introductory paragraph

5. Include information about both development and care

6. Be well organized, including numbering or other divisions that make information readily accessible

7. Have correct spelling and grammar - have someone proof your work, if necessary

8. Turned in by the due date of Thursday, July 30 at 11:59pm you may turn it in any time before that date.

Good luck and thank you for a great semester!

The toddler and infant stage is the most crucial part of a baby's life. The amount of care
given to them will determine how they will turn out to be. In this stage, they need constant
monitoring, coupled with giving them space to help them develop.
Ten Things to Understand About Toddlers and Infants
1. Giving Them Space to Play
During the baby's formative years, play is crucial to them since it helps them develop
physically. The exercise can involve giving them toys and letting the babies play together. It can
also include caregivers playing with babies (Simpson et al., 2016). As the babies are playing, the
caregiver needs to be watchful over them, so they do not harm each other
2. Understanding When They are Hungry
At this age, some of the babies might not have developed the ability to talk. It is difficult to
know when they are hungry since they can't communicate verbally (Ruprecht, Elicker, & Choi,
2016). It becomes necessary for the caregivers to learn to watch out for cues suggesting the baby
is hungry.
3. Teaching Them Some Words
It will apply to the much older babies who are much older and more than twelve months old
(Yue et al., 2018). The earlier they learn, the more it will keep thei...
