Infant and toddler teaching is based on a curriculum of caregiving.  As we will learn about in week 7, caregiving routines include things like feeding, diapering and toileting, dressing and bathing, soothing infants to sleep, etc.

PDF Below of reading Supporting Cognitive Development Through Interaction with Young Infants, by Tiffany Field, pages 32-37 (see if this reading helps) or look over the internet to answer the following questions 

In 3 paragraphs: Answer BOTH Questions!!

1. In what ways do caregiving routines (in general) support cognitive development in infants and toddlers?
2. Expand upon this general response, by providing at least 3 specific examples of caregiving routines that take place in an infant and toddler care environment. How does each support cognitive development? At least one of your examples should specifically address the needs of toddlers.

Q3. (No Reference Page)

This video explores the constant quest for knowledge of infants and toddlers. It depicts six major kinds of discoveries children make in the first three years of life in the following areas: 

1. use of learning schemes
2. cause and effect
3. use of tools
4. object permanence
5. understanding space
6. imitation

The video also offers guidelines on how caregivers can support early learning by setting up rich yet uncluttered environments, by avoiding the temptation to teach children specific lessons, by observing children to see which discoveries they are engaged in, by letting activities continue longer before interrupting, and by offering the least amount of help and not taking over. Caregiver responsiveness and understanding of the discovery process will greatly facilitate early learning.

Directions:

Watch the video (links below)

In 1 page:  (Answer BOTH questions)

1. For each of the 6 discoveries of infancy listed above, provide 2 examples described in the video.  Each example should include a description of what you observed in the video and should be at least 2-3 sentences long.
2. How can a care teacher use this knowledge to support and facilitate cognitive development and learning in infants and toddlers?
