<strong>Ashford</strong> <strong>ECE</strong> <strong>205</strong> <strong>Week</strong> 3 <strong>Discussion</strong> 2 <strong>The</strong> <strong>Terrific</strong> <strong>Twos</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Terrific</strong> <strong>Twos</strong> [CLOs: 1, 3]. 1 st Post Due by Day 3. By completing this discussion, you will be<br />
meeting <strong>Week</strong>ly Learning Outcomes 2, 4, 5, and 6.<br />
Overview<br />
Toddlers are on a fast moving developmental trajectory – they are no longer dependent babies focused on<br />
survival. Instead, they are running, jumping, and problem-solving with unique personalities. Toddlerhood<br />
is a fun and exciting time as children are developing physically, cognitively, linguistically, and socially.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a significant increase in language acquisition during toddlerhood as they are producing more<br />
words and following simple directions.<br />
According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children, families and professionals<br />
can serve as role models during this stage by demonstrating kindness, respect, and patience. As<br />
professionals we must recognize that toddlers need guidance, support, and understanding, as they are<br />
trying to navigate their own independence.<br />
Initial Post – Choose two of the following topics below:<br />
Individuation/separation<br />
Separation anxiety<br />
Language development<br />
Object permanence<br />
Egocentrism<br />
Conservation<br />
Zone of proximal development<br />
Self-help skills<br />
Safety for toddlers<br />
Next, address the following:<br />
1. Explain and define the specific topics that you selected.<br />
2. Discuss how you, as an educator (or other professional role such as therapist, social<br />
worker, etc.) can<br />
support a toddler in this stage of development by giving specific examples.<br />
c. Explain what is happening during this stage from a developmental perspective. (e.g. what are the<br />
cognitive, physical changes they are experiencing and why are they experiencing these changes)<br />
d. What advice would you give to parents and families who are having a difficult time adjusting to their<br />
toddler?<br />
Guided Response: Post replies to at least two peers. Provide two other examples of how they might<br />
support the child during this stage. Give at least two strategies for how to help a struggling parent with<br />
their toddler and explain why modeling for a child is vital to their development.
Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to<br />
provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you (including the instructor) before<br />
the last day of the learning week; this will further the conversation while also giving you opportunities to<br />
demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with this topic.
