The Advocates' Child Studies Blog

Positive experiments, and great outcomes,  we wanted to get parents participation at my daycare.  First, at the beginning of the year we asked if parents would donate 2 hours a week at the daycare. We received no response out of 42 children no one responded. Secondly, I had a Health facilitator come out to do a Golden Nugget. A Golden Nugget is a new vegetable that has been offered to the children, that went over great, so we would like for our infants that are eating to have Avocados at home because they liked the avocado too, we wanted all children to be served Avocados at home.  Plus, we hyped it up by giving away free boxes of Crispy Creme Donuts for all parent that participated.  I told them “Come Early While Supplies last”, but we really had enough donuts for all the families.  We actually had 97 percent of the parents participate and those that did not had to work.

Final Blog Assignment The first consequence learned through browsing the sites of the alternative assignments internationally is that each geographic area is having basically the same issues that we have here in the United States.  In some areas it is worse than others, especially for the female child because as they reach the age of puberty. The facilities that are used for teaching no longer accommodate them because of the of things females will need at a certain age due to not having the resources available.
