ECE 205 Week 3 DQ 2 ( Importance of Play ) ~ 2 Different Answers ~ A + Work With References

Watch the video, Stuart Brown: Play is More Than Fun.  Then, consider the following scenario: Jacqueline is a 3-year-old who has recently been diagnosed with a speech delay and her language skills resemble those of a 15-month-old.  She is shy, withdrawn, and rarely speaks or interacts with the other children. She struggles with sharing, resolving conflicts, and taking turns.  Her parents want to pull her out of class during center time so she can receive intense speech therapy.  The teacher suggests that they try to do this after school, but the parents insist that “She isn’t really learning anything during that time anyway.” 
Imagine you are Jacqueline’s teacher.  In your post, describe how you would explain the situation to her parents, and share your opinion about what is best for their child.  Remember to include possible social and language benefits she might gain from participating in center time and provide some strategies that you would utilize to promote Jacqueline’s language development in your classroom.  Reference the video and this week’s reading in your post.
