UNDERSTAND Karen DeBord, Ph.D., CFLE North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC
Parents who understand how young children develop and grow and who acknowledge the individual uniqueness of each and every child can develop more positive relationships with their own children. Children who have experienced understanding from the significant adult in their lives during their development years are much more likely to become loving and caring adults.
Parents who “understand” demonstrate the following practices: • Observe and understand their children and their physical, social and psychological development • Recognize how children influence and respond to what happens around (Smith, et al., 1994)
Read the following three publications. The bulk of this learning module will be a jeopardy game that follows the readings that will help you determine if you UNDERSTAND children so you can make wise recommendations to parents when they have concerns and questions. Readings: Brain Development http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fcs/humandev/pubs/brain_nc.html Infant Development http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fcs/humandev/pubs/infant.html Preschooler Development http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fcs/humandev/pubs/preschool.html Parenting & Parenthood http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fcs/humandev/pubs/fcs477.html
