In this assignment, you will conduct observations in a variety of early childhood settings to identify age-appropriate practices to promote guidance and positive discipline strategies for children.

• Create a 3- to 5-page paper (not including the title and references pages) in a Word document for your response.
• Use APA 7th edition format for the paper and citations.
• Develop an introduction and conclusion for your paper.
• Create a title page and references page in APA format.

To identify age-appropriate practices to promote guidance and positive discipline for children:

Observations 1. Observe an early childhood setting and look for examples of young children’s inability to sit still for very long.

• What problems do you observe when adults forget this aspect of child development?

Observations 2. Observe toddlers while watching for expressions of developing emotional autonomy.

• How do adults in their environment respond?
• Do you recommend any different responses based on your understanding of this aspect of emotional development?

Observations 3. Observe preschoolers and watch for their desire for real work.

• Does their environment meet this need?
• What changes could be made to assist their development of initiative?

Use research to support your analysis of the behaviors and tactics used by the teachers.
