Relationship Reflection

The relationship with my family is important to me, but most importantly the relationship with my children. My children are my biggest motivation, going through a pregnancy where I lost a child, and never thought that I would be able to have any. Now I am the proud mother of two children is a blessing this is why I get up and do what I have to do to be successful. I cannot fail sometimes I do get discourage and want to give up because things get hard and stressful. But I think about them, and it pushes me to keep going and reaching my goals.

 I also have positive relationships with my parents, my mom has always been there for me she has seen me go through my ups and downs, and gave me all the support that I need. She always have encouraging words to motivate me, she is very spiritual and reminds me when times get tough and I may want to give up always pray and ask God for strength to get me through, and honestly I can say this gets me through.

 My father is very supportive also, even though he is not as vocal as my mom he supports me by just being there for me, he is that listening ear that I need sometimes. One thing I respect about my father is that he is honest he does not sugar coat anything. If you go to him for advice please be ready because he is going to be honest and straight forward and sometimes this is what I need.

 Having these relationships has molded me into the person that I am today. I am strong willed and focused, I own up to anything that I have done, I learn from my mistakes and keep it moving. I set goals and conquer them having these strong relationships created who I am today.

 These relationships have impacted my work as an early childhood professional, by creating a person who believe that having support from your family is important. Having these relationships with my family has helped me to be successful. just like in early childhood we have to build relationships with families in order to ensure their children are successful.

An Eyeopener

Hello my name is Latwana Rivers, I am from Saint Helena Island, SC. I am pursuing a career in early childhood. After doing an internship at a center for woman and children who were victims of domestic violence, I knew I wanted to work with children. I love everything about them, they are very curious and willing to learn. Children are the future and reaching them now while they are young is the best.  I am a Site Director at a childcare facility and I love every minute of it. I always tell the other teachers to always come to work with a smile on their face no matter what they maybe going through. We as educators have to remember we have to treat all our children the way we would want them to treat us. We do not know what those children go through before they come into our classrooms, they could be victims of abuse, may not have eaten a hot meal, may have never met their parents, etc. Just treat them as your own, that's how I interact with all children that I meet. I und

Child Development and Public Health

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is an unexplainable death of infants, usually occurs during sleep of a child less than one year of age (Wikipedia,2017). SIDS is important to me because I want to know the cause of this unexpected death that affects infants. It concerns me that no one can actually pinpoint what causes SIDS. I know their are ways to help reduce the risks, but what causes SIDS? I think it would be helpful to parents if we had an answer to this question. I read that the cause is unknown, but might be associated with defects in the brain that controls breathing and the arousal of sleep, low birth weight, respiratory infection, sleeping positions, siblings who were victims of SIDS, etc., but I could not find a known cause. Does anyone know the exact cause? New Zealand has the highest rates of SIDS, with the US right behind with the second highest. Babies are twice likely to die in New Zealand than in the US. The UK was the safest place for babies to sleep in the Western part

Codes of Ethics

Codes of Ethics To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with families we serve. Developing relationships with families is the key to having a successful student. It takes a village to work together in order for children to receive the best education possible. This ethic continues to be a part of my journey in the early childhood field because you have to build trusting relationships with family and keep the lines of communication open. We shall be familiar with the risk factors for and symptoms of child abuse and neglect, including physical, emotional, educational, and medical neglect. We shall know and follow state laws and community procedures that protect children against abuse and neglect. Our children expect us to protect them. We observe children everyday, we have to watch for the signs and listen to our children. They may be screaming for help so we cannot ignore anything. This will always be a part of my life as an educator beca
