Initiative
Reflection ( only in Preschool)
similarity:
Initiative is listed on Pre-school and Infants /Toddler KDI’s. Both age groups have the desire the display Initiative.
During preschool age children demonstrate it throughout their world, where as the infant/toddler have the desires to be initiative in their environment. This KDI is different in preschoolers because , a preschooler demonstrates their …show more content…
An Infant or Toddler has not yet development extensive language to perform a reflection.
Social & Emotional Development
Emotions
Similarity: Emotions is listed in both Pre-school and Infant KDI’s. It is clear, that both age groups display their emotions in their environment.
Emotions are the same in both KDI age groups, because they both express it (anger, boredom, sadness, frustration etc.).
Difference: Preschoolers “recognize, label, and regulate their feelings” whereas Infants and Toddlers only “express” it. This means that Infants are not developmentally capable to identify or distinguish certain feelings.
Emotions are different in both because an infant is not developmentally capable of identifying their feelings using their language. They have no yet developed the language that will help them express their feelings.
Physical Development and Health
Infant/ Toddlers KDI: (13) Moving the whole body
Preschool KDI: (16) Gross Motor skills similarity: These KDI’s are similar because both age groups are using their large muscles (legs, arms etc). Both involve movement with the …show more content…
You must provide two specific, developmentally appropriate strategies are provided that relate to the selected KDI
Key Developmental Indicator
Strategies
For “Children playing with others”
Strategy 1: Look at children’s actions from their viewpoint. “Two people often see the same situation from differing viewpoints, depending in their individual experience, culture, problem-solving approach, and temperament.” So when they are playing with others imagine how they are thinking and what the other children are thinking to better understand their reactions, or lack of reactions
Strategy 2: Focusing on children’s strengths and interests is a great way to reduce favoritism and reduce playing for competition, or sport. Which is often brought from home and can carry over to simple games where fun is the primary goal (or one of the many things play brings).
Child A says “I finished before B I’m better!!!” you can say “I see you’re able to do X quickly, is this your first time doing it?” then approach the other child and express something they are doing
