1. Explain what Developmentally Appropriate Practice is.

Identify the core components.

According to our textbook, developmentally appropriate practice defines “early education and care that is carefully planned to match the diverse interests, abilities and cultural needs of children (Miller, 2016, p. 5).” Therefore, the importance of DAP would be that the practices are appropriate for each child and relevant to their abilities, needs, and interests. As younger children accomplish various developmental milestones, activities and concrete materials adapt to meet children’s needs appropriately. As a result, today’s classrooms contain children who all have differences that can be culturally, physically, emotionally, or even intellectually. That is why teachers, childcare givers, and early childhood educators must know each of the children’s backgrounds in their care so that methods or activities can spark their interests and motivation to learn.
One of the critical components of DAP would be knowledge must inform decision making (Miller, 2016, p. 6). Adults who work with younger children must have the ability to display a complete understanding of early childhood development and how a more youthful child learns. Children are maturing daily, and an educator who is observant and aware of what makes up the personality of each of their children is someone who will know how to make the appropriate decisions in the classroom when it comes to learning. It is also beneficial for both children and adults to learn more about the children’s social and cultural backgrounds so that both educators and parents can have open communication when it pertains to their child’s development within the classroom. Finally, to better follow DAP’s guidelines, there must be positivity, respect, and empowerment within the relationships between adults and children in early childhood settings.
The second component of DAP would be challenging and achievable goals (Miller, 2016, p. 6). For children to be genuinely successful in learning, there has to be a collaboration between the home and classroom settings. Parents want to be aware of their children’s academic progress and ensure that they receive the appropriate attention and care. Educators have to work alongside families by allowing them to have an active voice and role in their children’s education. Parents can provide educators with information about how their children are doing outside of the classroom, and together both can select which teaching strategies will better promote their children’s progress. Open communication about a child’s progress is vital to the relationship between parents and educators, and discussion can only accomplish this from effort on both sides.
Lastly, the third component of DAP is teaching must be intentional to be effective (Miller, 2016, p. 6). Environments centered around DAP learning help children achieve their full academic potential. Rote memorization is a method that can cause children to waste valuable time that appropriate activities can direct to more hands-on, sensory learning. Classroom settings must allow children to continue with healthy development by providing proper guidance through social, emotional, and physical exploration or play. Educating children must include curriculums that will have children achieve attainable goals and assess their ability to grasp the learning material.
2. Explain why positive child guidance is important for caregivers.

“Child guidance builds a foundation on which everything else in the child’s life is built, including social interaction with others, learning and emotional development (Miller, 2016, p. 11).” Positive child guidance is critical for caregivers because of the influence professionals have on children’s lives and how addressing children’s needs will benefit them well into adulthood. Young children need to be able to practice basic skills and be introduced to societal norms and rules. Guidance is a concept that comes with practice and allows caregivers to be role models for children to imitate and be inspired. Self-direction and independence are key personality traits that can influence children’s choices and behavior inside and outside the classroom.

3. Explain the purpose of child guidance.
Child guidance serves as a way for adults to meet their development needs by being positive adult figures in a child’s life. Adults need to support children and their natural motivation for self-control and independence. “Positive child guidance involves guiding children as firmly as necessary, as gently as possible, and always with respect (Miller, 2016, p. 12).” Children are curious about how we as adults function and are interested in the things we do. The basis of child guidance is not centered around completely changing a child’s behaviors; it allows children to make mistakes and find positive ways to address responsibility and rules.

1. What developmentally appropriate practice is that making sure that every child’s needs are taken care of.
Commonality – Getting to learn all you can about children.
2. Individuality- Getting to know how the child lives, also who is around that person at any age.
3. Context- Children need lots of education in order to be successful. If they have that in their lives, children will succeed.
2. Child Guidance/Caregivers- Child guidance is really important for caregivers because it will show that person what kind of environment they will be providing. They can provide protection, encouragement, and acceptance. Every child needs all of that to make them feel like they matter. All of them matter that is the whole reason for taking this course, to explore all you can about children. I love kids so I figured why not explore my mind with the life of kids. I may only be 21 years old with no kids, but I do know how important it is to protect and help them. Without kind words what do they have in life.
3. The purpose of child guidance- To provide the children with as much education as possible. Teaching should be a gift when working with kids, I know at times it may be hard but in order to be successful with them you have got to try. Also in the classrooms make them feel important, put all of your attention on them, because teaching them is what matters as well.

Case Study The Company The Lew-Mark Baking Company is located in a small town in western New York State. The bakery is run by two brothers. Lew and Mark, who formed the company after they purchased an Archway Cookie franchise. With exclusive rights in New York and New Jersey, it is the largest Archway franchise. The company employs fewer than 200 people, mainly blue-collar workers, and the atmosphere is informal. The Product The company’s only product is soft cookies, of which it makes over 50 varieties. Larger companies, such as Nabisco, Sunshine, and Keebler, have traditionally produced biscuit cookies, in which most of the water has been baked out, resulting in crisp cookies. Archway cookies have no additives or preservatives. The high quality of the cookies has enabled the company to develop a strong market niche for its product. The Customers The cookies are sold in convenience stores and supermarkets throughout New York and New Jersey. Archway markets its cookies as “good food” no additives or preservatives and this appeals to a health-conscious segment of the market. Many customers are over 45 years of age, and prefer a cookie that is soft and not too sweet. Parents with young children also buy the cookies. The Production Process The company has two continuous band ovens that it uses to bake the cookies. The production process is called a batch processing system. It begins as soon as management gets orders from distributors. These orders are used to schedule production. At the start of each shift, a list of the cookies to be made that day is delivered to the person in charge of mixing. That person checks a master list, which indicates the ingredients needed for each type of cookie, and enters that information into the computer. The computer then determines the amount of each ingredient needed, according to the quantity of cookies ordered, and relays that information to storage silos located outside the plant where the main ingredients (flour, sugar, and cake flour) are stored. The ingredients are automatically sent to giant mixing machines where the ingredients are combined with proper amounts of eggs, water, and flavorings. After the ingredients have been mixed, the batter is poured into a cutting machine where it is cut into individual cookies. The cookies are then dropped onto a conveyor belt and transported through one of two ovens. Filled cookies, such as apple, date, and raspberry, require an additional step for filling and folding. The nonfilled cookies are cut on a diagonal rather than round. The diagonal-cut cookies require less space than straight-cut cookies, and the result is a higher level of productivity. In addition, the company recently increased the length of each oven by 25 feet, which also increased the rate of production. As the cookies emerge from the ovens, they are fed onto spiral cooling racks 20 feet high and 3 feet wide. As the cookies come off the cooling racks, workers place the cookies into boxes manually, removing any broken or deformed cookies in the process. The boxes are then wrapped, sealed, and labeled automatically. Inventory Most cookies are loaded immediately onto trucks and shipped to distributors. A small percentage is stored temporarily in the company’s warehouse, but they must be shipped shortly because of their limited shelf life. Other inventory includes individual cookie boxes, shipping boxes, labels, and cellophane for wrapping. Labels are reordered frequently, in small batches, because FDA label requirements are subject to change, and the company does not want to get stuck with labels it can’t use. The bulk silos are refilled two or three times a week, depending on how quickly supplies are used. Cookies are baked in a sequence that minimizes downtime for cleaning. For instance, light-colored cookies (e.g., chocolate chip) are baked before dark-colored cookies (e.g., fudge), and oatmeal cookies are baked before oatmeal raisin cookies. This permits the company to avoid having to clean the processing equipment every time a different type of cookie is produced. Quality The bakery prides itself on the quality of its cookies. A quality control inspector sample cookies randomly as they come off the line to assure that their taste and consistency are satisfactory, and that they have been baked to the proper degree. Also, workers on the line are responsible for removing defective cookies when they spot them. Scrap The bakery is run very efficiently and has minimal amounts of scrap. For example, if a batch is mixed improperly; it is sold for dog food. Broken cookies are used in the oatmeal cookies. These practices reduce the cost of ingredients and save on waste disposal costs. The company also uses heat reclamation: The heat that escapes from the two ovens is captured and used to boil the water that supplies the heat to the building. Also, the use of automation in the mixing process has resulted in a reduction in waste compared with the manual methods used previously. New Products Ideas for new products come from customers, employees, and observations of competitors’ products. New ideas are first examined to determine whether the cookies can be made with existing equipment. If so, a sample run is made to determine the cost and time requirements. If the results are satisfactory, marketing tests are conducted to see if there is a demand for the product. Potential Improvements There are a number of areas of potential improvement at the bakery. One possibility would he automates packing the cookies into boxes. Although labor costs are not high, automating the process might save some money and increase efficiency. So far, the owners have resisted making this change because they feel an obligation to the community to employ the 30 women who now do the boxing manually? Another possible improvement would be to use suppliers who are located closer to the plant. That would reduce delivery lead times and transportation costs, but the owners are not convinced that local suppliers could provide the same good quality. Other opportunities have been proposed in recent years, but the owner rejected them because they feared that the quality of the product might suffer. Questions 1.

Practicum Focus Sheet
Assessment 2
Note: Expect to spend at least 2 hours with the patient, family, or group you’ll be working with
during this portion of your practicum, exploring issues of patient safety, quality, and costs
associated with the health problem you’ve defined. This includes time spent in consultation with
subject matter or industry experts. You’ll report on the results of this work as part of your next
assessment.
For this portion of your practicum, discuss, in depth, how the problem will affect patient safety,
quality of care, and costs. Consider the following questions to help guide your exploration of
quality, safety, and costs and to make the most of your time:Has the patient, family or group experienced any serious safety events because of the
problem?How many times have they gone to the emergency department (ED)?How many times have they been hospitalized?What is the frequency of ED visits or hospitalizations?How many medications are needed to manage the problem?Does insurance pay for these medications?Have the medications caused any side effects?How often are doctors’ visits or other therapies needed?Does insurance pay for these visits or treatments

DISCUSSION POST PEER RESPONSES 
PEER #1 LISA
A healthy lifestyle is made up of many different things. First, good spiritual health is important because it encourages mindfulness and connection to something bigger than oneself. It also encourages a person to think of someone other than themselves. Next, exercising regularly is crucial to wellbeing as it releases endorphins, and helps us feel better and keeps our immune system strong. Third, eating healthy meals can nourish our bodies and provide lasting energy for the day. All of the above are useful in maintaining a healthy lifestyle (Nathenson, P. & Nathenson, S., 2013). Nathenson P & Nathenson S. (2013) discuss how important psychosocial activities and interactions are in helping a person recover and progress through rehabilitation.
In previous courses I have learned about the importance of prayer, reading the Bible, meditating and eight levels of wellness that include physical, emotional, and intellectual. Taking care of the body is just as important as taking care of the mind.
For instance, individuals with dementia or mild cognitive impairment who exercise increase cognitive function and enhance physical functions as well (Tortosa-Martínez et al., 2018).

PEER #2 CAMILLA
In 1948 the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (Harris, 2010). Wellness or well-being, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association (SAMHSA), is comprised of eight dimensions: emotional, environmental, occupational, physical, spiritual, financial, intellectual, and social (Garcia, 2015). As the study of health continues to grow, from that definition from WHO 73 years ago, those eight dimensions of wellness are far reaching, and one could make their life’s work of just one of the eight dimensions of well-being. Today a healthy lifestyle includes safe vehicle use, safe sun exposure, proper sleep, unintentional injury, a good body image, lack of eating disorders, proper diet and nutrition, exercise, safe TV/screen time, dental health, height and weight, mental health, not smoking, not drinking, no drug use, no violence, suicide education and safe sex practices (just to name a few) (Harris, 2010). If those factors weren’t enough to process for considering a healthy lifestyle, the concept of health has expanded from the individual to a social context as well. A healthy lifestyle includes interactions with families, relationships, marriage, workplace, community/neighborhoods (Harris, 2010).
It’s almost laughable to consider all the things an individual may to think about to live a healthy lifestyle. However, if these things are taught to a person as they develop from childhood to adulthood, they can build upon them as they grow. As I talk to my clients who are wanting to make a positive change to better their health, I always encourage them to start with small shifts. I love the concept of “adding to” before “taking away.” Here is an example, my client knows they need to stop overeating, but I encourage them to just add more water to their diet or more vegetables before taking away all the bad things they shouldn’t be eating. I find when we tell ourselves we can’t have something we can only be strong for so long before we feel we are neglecting ourselves and then fall of the wagon. Adding some “good” will start to shift us in the right direction. This goes for exercise too. I’ll add walking on my lunch break before I commit to joining a gym and promising myself January 1st I’ll go before work every day. Bedtime? I can’t promise a 9pm bedtime but I’ll start shaving off an extra episode of my favorite tv show to relax with no screen time 30 minutes before sleep. Just like the Problem-Solving Treatment approach, finding the issue that needs the attention first and making a plan could be life changing.

PEER #3 CLEA
There are many factors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle and they center around a person’s mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing. Since we are a whole person, we need to focus on all aspects of our life. Green-blue spaces, such as beaches, forests, parks, etc, are beneficial for our mental wellbeing. (Song, Jiao et al., 2018). Being out in nature is good for our mental well being, but it is also good for our physical health and can have a strong connection to our spiritual self. Likewise, what we consume and the nutrition we receive also plays a large part in how our bodies feel. Nutrition is important for optimal mental and physical health and increases quality of life. (MacDonell, J, 2009). When we eat healthy food and drink plenty of water there is a chance we can relieve mood swings, depression and help in our sleep habits. Finally, our spiritual self needs to be nourished to sustain health. Prayer, music, and meditation are all ways to increase our spiritual needs that help us to feel grounded and connected to our Creator. It is important to be mindful of all aspects of our lives and how to keep each level healthy and connected.
