How will the material from these module better prepare you to work with infants?
Answer: I learned how gaining trust from a infant is very important, they need to able to trust you and have comfortably in order to grow and educate themselves for years down the line. I also learned how caregivers support their infants and how they interact on one another. The things that I did observe in this module is you must be trustworthy, understanding, super visual, and open minded, also cautious. I can use this information in the healthcare world and let my patients and their families understand that im here to only help and take care on their children as if they were my own and that they also can trust me because trust is super important
What I’ve learned so far from the modules is that I as a teacher have to let my children make their own decisions as I carefully observe what they are doing. It is important for them to be treated with respect and that is how they will learn how to respect and be respected. I was intrigued by the way teachers were asking the children if they were ready to change their diapers or were ready to eat instead of forcing them to. I learned you have to slower the pace down to their time. Everything that I have read so far is knowledge I can use in the future with my children. These modules will help me prepare myself with infants on teaching me how to bond with them and how to keep it strong and respectful.
What I learned from these modules is that peacefully observation is such an important factor in child care. Observation is a method of watching. listening, asking questions, documenting, and analyzing the words and actions of the child. Observing help recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each child. It offers teachers to know them better and get a sense of their knowledge, needs, interest, skills, and how the interact with the world around them. These modules will help me prepare myself with infants because it develops a sense of letting infants access their individuality and learn their voices, posture, gestures, and facial expressions.
1:What did you learn in the modules for ECE 209-Lecture and ECE 209-Seminar?
This weeks modules have increased my knowledge in what I have known in my experience in working with children with different age groups. Since I have knowledge with older children it amazes me that infants at such a young age ( you can say ) have so much independency. I also learned or the modules reinforced the importance of making sure we are creating those bonds because without the family it will be hard to accomplish your purpose as a teacher in general but more important with infants.

Insights (connections you made or “ah-ha’s” you had about the material)
This week I was amazed in how the readings highlighted the way infants are really capable of choosing when they want a diaper change or what bib they would want to wear. If I am being honest I always found that to be silly when friends or family on social media say ” We let little Adam (9 months) pick out his outfit” for me that was just crazy because I had the mentality of ” they are just babies they do not know” and I think back to my favorite 90s tv show Rugrats. As the weeks go by I get excited to work with Infants and have that unconditional love and bond other teachers talk about .

These materials this week are just making me more excited to become a teacher for infants. I know that working with them will make my life come into a full 360.

Both modules gave me insight on securing relationships with the infants and the families. It taught me how both relationships tie in as one for the development and success for the child. I learned new ways to establish a relationship with the child using the three “R’s”.
One “ah-ah” moment I had was that I didn’t really see the point of telling a child each step while changing a diaper but then I realized it’s just courtesy to show a child respect and at the same time they are able to learn the steps of what you do, and they’ll be able to tell if something is weird or not normal to them.

Something that’s really important is that a care giver needs to be trustworthy because parents need to trust the person who is taking care of their child everyday. what i have learned can be put in working environment becuase communication is important and communicating with a supervisor important as well to let them know about any questions or concerns i might have.
