I am posting something that I had to post in my research in childhood development this week. We all know that when looking up information on the internet can have its consequences which involves getting the facts wrong...
One thing that I learned when I was in abnormal psychology in undergraduate school was that you always look for more than one source of information. No one man or woman's opinion is etched in stone...
The eyes can lie and cause disruption in your cognitive interpretation of information if not careful causing mass confusion and hysteria among colleges and social gatherings...
This is what is known as PROPAGANDA!
by definition means:
prop·a·gan·da

Checking Quality Criteria
“Like detectives, researchers have different ideas about the best way to do their work. Some researchers pursue their research in a linear, logical and step-by-step way; Deductive Research Methodology ” (Mac Nautghton, Rolfe, 2010)

Looking over the resources
made me think of past classes that I have taken and I thought about “Issues and
Trends in Early Childhood”. I remembered
a lot of articles that were scientific based and had a great deal of information
when it came to the psychological aspects of childhood development. As instructors or teacher; we sometimes get
caught up in the academic part of the issues but not what is going on with the
child or even adults since they are just big versions of children anyway. Not to be disrespectful or anything, just
think about it! Every since we were
little we wanted to be big and now that we are some of us wish that we were
kids again…Some with to redo some of the experiences that we shared and some
wish to never relive some childhood experiences. Never the less, when it comes to documenting
research, dealing with children and their experiences; we sometimes can put our
own wishes or thoughts into the picture and make the research invalid. (Commentary by Obadele A. Bomani,
2013)

Neglect: The Persistent Absence of
Responsive Care Disrupts the Developing Brain”; http://developingchild.harvard.edu/resources/reports_and_working_papers/working_papers/wp12/.
Article 2:
“Children’s
Emotional Development Is Built into the Architecture of Their Brains”;
Sources were extracted from Harvard University Press, Center
of the Developing Child. The first
article that I extracted was published in 2012.
The second article that I extracted was published 2004.
Dates of publications are progressive and notated as working
papers.
All sources of information given by up to date sources and
citations are given at the end of each document in the reference section as
well as other publications for continued references.

Model good behavior
“Preschoolers will be better listeners if they see that you are a good listener, too. Make it a habit to listen to your child as respectfully as you would to any adult. Look at her when she talks to you, respond politely, and let her finish without interrupting whenever possible.”
“Preschoolers will be better listeners if they see that you are a good listener, too. Make it a habit to listen to your child as respectfully as you would to any adult. Look at her when she talks to you, respond politely, and let her finish without interrupting whenever possible.”
Honestly, I hated this popping up in
my newsfeed on my phone every single month as if everything that this center
said was accurate to the letter…Oh how wrong they were! I have a two year old that is smart as a 4 or
5 year old and acts like he is 60 years old…lol
Some children can watch you just to
go against what you are doing so this statement is just an opinion and not a
proven fact of the majority of children around the world. Not only that, it is not backed by university or
professional study. The reference that I
gave above about modeling good behavior doesn’t work with him because he knows
that he is his own person already. He
understands the differences between him and his sister, he understands between
mother and father. He knows who to call
when he wants to get away with things and who does the grounding in the house.
The trouble with some of these types
of articles is that it is in my opinion, geared toward the stay at home
parent. Notice I am not going to say stay
at home mom because there are some fathers out there that would rather stay at
home and be with their children. I love
my kids they make me laugh and feel young.
But again, this is my experience and may not fit another person’s
experience as a parent…
One of the insights that we were asked to talk about was the research chart that was very helpful for the discussion in the class. It helped me to look at other key areas of research that I was aware of already but help me to look deeper and ask more questions about the research being conducted.

Nice post! Your statement about finding many sources is extremely important and useful. Eyes do in fact lie and as we begin our journey into the world of research I find that we need to use our profession lens to fully understand the dynamics of the information we will read. I am not a fan of research however; I am finding that I am gaining a wealth of information from just being in class two weeks. Thank you for your post.
