SOC 312 (Child Family and Society)
Week 1

Week 1 DQ 1 Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological
Model
Your text uses Bronfenbrenner’s ecological
model to explain how children’s development
is affected by different groups within their
world. Using this theory, we can understand
how children are socialized both intentionally
and unintentionally. You must understand
how this theory applies to your own upbringing
as well as a young child’s upbringing in order
to truly comprehend the concept. Use your
understanding of this theory to respond to the
questions below.
Week 1 DQ 2
Agents of Socialization
Agents of socialization include parents,
siblings, extended family, community, culture,
economic environment, religion, child care,
school, teachers, peers, formal organizations,
sports, mass media, and technology. In an
ideal world, these agents would complement
one another in order to best influence a child’s
development. Choose three of the above

agents and discuss how these agents can have
both a positive and negative influence on a
child’s development. Include examples from
your own experience and share ways you
believe the agents of socialization could be
improved.

Week 2
The Theory of Mind
Watch the following short film, Theory of
Mind.mov, demonstrating the theory of mind
using a juice box experiment.
At around four years of age, a fundamental
change occurs in children’s understanding of
others’ behaviors or what is also called theory
of mind. Using your knowledge from our
readings, watch the video to determine which

stage both Jacob and Patrick are currently in
respectively.
Discuss both Jacob’s and Patrick’s reaction to
the “mean monkey.” What stage would
Erickson say each child is in? How do these
different stages influence their values and
attitudes? Do you think it is possible for a
child over the age of three to have trouble
understanding that his or her beliefs can be
false? Explain your reasoning.
Week DQ 2
Self-Regulation
Regardless of a child’s unique qualities, one
thing remains the same; to improve learning
and behavior, children must develop strong
self-regulation skills. Read the following article
from the National Association for the
Education of Young Children (NAEYC),
“Developing Young Children’s Self-Regulation
Through Everyday Experiences.”

Week 3
Motivators
You are a preschool teacher. Describe a
situation in which you would use an extrinsic
reward to motivate a preschooler. Discuss
how these motivators could result in learned
helplessness. Now give examples and explain
how you can lead the same child to achieve
intrinsic motivation by becoming their own
locus of control. Keep in mind that your end
goal is for the child to be intrinsically
motivated so they have ownership of the
behavior.
Week 3 DQ 2
Control
The role of the microsystem in shaping
children’s effortful control is important and

parents play a critical role. What would you
recommend to a parent who asks you what he
or she can do to promote his or her preschool
child’s self-regulation skills? Now turning to
the mesosystem, identify examples of
influences on the child’s effortful control you
can share with the parent.
Provide examples of influences on children’s
effortful control that you have observed in your
own family and other families who are close to
you.

Cultural and Linguistic
Differences
Listen to the Cultural and Linguistic
Differences podcast from The IRIS Center, or

view the transcript. Consider what Donna
Ford has to say about prejudice and
stereotyping.
Discuss how educators can positively
influence a school-age child to not hold biases
or prejudices against others. Give an example
of how you can create a community of learners
who support one another by fostering positive
attitudes. Give an example of how you could
teach your students the importance of
acceptance. Your post must address the
children in the concrete operational stage.
Week 4 DQ 2 Bullying
Bullying is a prevalent issue during middle
childhood. Watch following video, The Power
of One – School Video Sample.
Choose one of the situations presented: Diego,
Timmy, or Kendra. Briefly describe the
situation. Offer suggestions that can be put
into place by the teacher, school, and the
parents (at least one for each). Use the
following resources to support your response:

Week 5 DQ 1 Technology
Your text shares many negative effects of
technology and the media’s influence on
children. Regardless, technology is
increasing rapidly and is only becoming a
larger portion of our children’s lives. First,
choose an age level (toddler, pre-school, or
elementary age). Then, list three positive
examples of how technology has enhanced
socialization for children in that age
group. Give two additional examples of how

parents/educators can use technology to
further enhance a child’s socialization.
Week 5 DQ 2
Nonparental Care
Choose one of the three nonparental care
choices: nannies, center-based, or
family-based care. Pretend you are trying to
sell your chosen method of care to a
prospective client who is a parent of a
toddler. Share the advantages of your
childcare setting so that the parent chooses
your method to care for their child. Address
the following in your post: socialization, cost,
turnover, and any other points that you believe
are necessary to sell your childcare option.
