Extra Credit Post: Creating an Environment

Create an environment for an infant classroom for babies 0-18 months!

  1. Decide the age group your room will be for.
  2. Create your space (drawing it on paper is fine)
  3. Label the areas/ equipment
  4. Take a picture of your space and email/ text it to me.
  5. I will post your environment!

Use the Infant Environment Checklist to be sure you included all you need!

Extra Credit Post B: Erikson Scenarios

Erikson believed there are 8 psychosocial stages that people have to pass through during life.  For each stage there is a crisis.  The outcome of each crisis/ stage impacts future stages.  The first stage for infants (0-2 years old) is trust vs. mistrust.  The second stage, for toddlers (2-4 years old), is autonomy versus shame/ doubt.  What does autonomy mean (search the internet if you need to)?

First, read through the scenarios on each card.  What psychosocial crisis is the child facing, according to Erikson?  What psychosocial outcome does the scenario promote (trust, mistrust, autonomy, shame/ doubt)?
