Reflect on the following quotation as you consider your learning this week:


"It may seem that cultural differences have little to do with the nitty-gritty of meeting children's needs. After all, how many different ways can there be to feed, clean, carry, dress, and touch children and provide for rest and warmth?" (Gonzalez-Mena, 2008, p.15)

 



Post your responses to the following questions:

  • What insights have you gained about your own identity, including your cultural framework?
  • How might your cultural framework influence your interpretation of what is "normal" for infants and toddlers?
  • What initial ideas do you now have for building culturally responsive and respectful relationships with families of infants and toddlers?
  • What questions about culture, infant/toddler development, and working with families do you now have that you would like to
