Thirty of my parents were able to attend the workshop. We also provided them with information to take home. After the workshop many of parents stayed back or emailed the room to ask further questions about their child’s individual success in potty training at school. Many parents asked in email what potty training at school consisted of, what techniques did we use while their child sat on the potty and overall how to make then successful at home. Artifact #2 talked about the items they may need of they didn’t already have them in their home as well as tips for them. They keys to success in all aspects in life is patience. In Artifact #2 it talked about what not to do so that your child can not only be productive in their potty training journey
One of these meetings included a conference call with administrators from the New York City Department of Education in which we collectively brainstormed methods to share the information and workshop with teachers to perform in the classroom. This conference call eventually led up to me and my preceptor, Jacqueline Quinones-Lugo, presenting our workshop during a meeting of the Office of School Health division of the Department of Eduaction.
Throughout the course of the class and completing the My Virtual Child assignment, I have been given new information in regards to childhood development through the lifespan. Starting with infancy, we had the opportunity to raise our own child online and test our parenting skills while applying the knowledge we learned from class. I believe this program has helped me grasp the concepts we learned in class and fully understand the different aspects of development throughout childhood.
One of my most difficult experiences has been going through school with an invisible disability. I was born with Bladder Exstrophy, a rare birth defect where the bladder and associated structures are improperly formed. I have endured fourteen surgeries to make my life as “normal” as possible. Despite this, as a young child, I decided to not let this condition define me or keep me from doing anything I wanted. Since first grade, I have had to catheterize every two hours, even during school. I’ve been responsible for making sure my supplies are stocked, remembering to go to the nurse’s office to cath myself every two hours, irrigating my bladder nightly and taking medication on time when prescribed.

Slide 9: I really liked reading slide 9 because I think it is important to have teams of professionals and family members working together to help the child. I found the information about the girl in your practicum classroom interesting. I've never known a child with this kind of delay, and I bet it's very difficult to work with her, but I think that's great that she has her own special team to work with her through her delay.
A copy of the Ages & Stages is given to the parent with their child’s result ASQ. If there is an area or areas that need to be strengthened, we created an Individual Learning Plan to help the child reach his potential. When a weakness is observed in an area, we work with the child on those specific goals. We will observe and document the child’s progress. Parents are asked to provide a 1” binder and clear sheet protectors in order to build a portfolio of the child’s progressive work and parents are welcome to review their child’s portfolio at any time. Usually, when the children are fourteen months, they are sent to the next classroom. If they are not ready in some area or areas, there might be some delays in advancing them to the next classroom. In the meantime, we work with the child to overcome the weakness is having. We work with the child in each age intervals by reinforcing an activity related to the weakness he is having in a particular area of development that will put him/her where he/she supposed to be for his/her

I met with Mrs. Dost on 4-6-18 and discussed Obaid’s ongoing progress in school. I reviewed the Individual Development Plan and provided status of the On-Going Assessment Tool. I shared observation notes. In order to continue helping Obaid with his transition to Kindergarten, his IDP goals will focus on learning to write and read three letter words as well as counting up to 100. I provided Mrs. Dost with a copy of the Family Conference Form. I also discussed Obaid’s transition to Kindergarten and how Mrs. Dost could continue to support him. I shared with Mrs. Dost that we are now able to discuss Kindergarten with Obaid and he no longer becomes upset or cry’s about it. This is a good step for Obaid. Mrs. Dost said she is very pleased with how

Displaying good behavior throughout the potty training process is important in achieving success.

Ensure that when communicating with the child, that the instructions are slow, clear and concise to their level of understanding. It is also important not to forget the age difference dur...
The first day of the clinical rotation I was partnered with a fellow student. Our task was to give a bed bath to a two hundred pound women with little range of motion and incontinent of stool and urine. This task was daunting and it took a minute for my partner and I to process what
This class added to my knowledge of working with children such as I usually pay attention and have active listening when children talk to me that also help me to meet children’s needs. I also feel more confident to speak up at
