Persona: RazaeTop of Form
The video:: ” Breaking Through: Understand Stress and Resilience in Young Children” viewed for the assignment : Understanding Stress and Resilience in Young Children provided information on ACE’s( adverse childhood experiences) and information on chronic toxic stress. Children experiencing ACEs in early childhood are significantly more likely to have below-average kindergarten academic and literacy achievement. They were also more likely to exhibit behavior problems in kindergarten. The good news here is emerging research suggests that when students have access to positive relationships with adults, the benefits outweigh the adversity. As an educator, there are many ways to support children and families to help prevent early childhood stress.
Read the provided persona on Razae. Reflect back on the information in the video: Breaking Through: Understanding Stress and Resilience in Young
After completing the above discuss the following:
What ACE’s has Razae encountered in his young life? Describe them.
Describe how Razae is showing signs of being resilience.
Discuss a community resource from the county you reside in that you would connect with to assist Razae if you were his teacher. How would this community resource assist Razae and those adults in his “village.”
Research further information on ACE’s and toxic stress on young children. Even though Razae is only 12 months, old, early intervention is important. Focus on finding strategies that you as a teacher and positive adult figure in Razaes life, can implement to support the family in helping him be prepared for kindergarten. Target community resources that can assist in this endeavor. Cite where you found your information, so other students can review the information.
Persona: Razae: Razae is 12 months old and has been placed in foster care since he was four months old. He was prenatally exposed to drugs and was placed in foster care because of domestic violence in the home. Emma and Andrew are the young couple who are providing foster care for the first time. Razae is a very sweet, rambunctious boy who enjoys music and movement. He’s also a great sleeper. Razae has learned how to walk, makes a variety of sounds, and is imitating others’ language consistently. Based on developmental delays in several domains, Razae qualified for and is receiving home-based early intervention services. He was slow to attach to his foster parents but is now bonding through play and enjoying skin to skin contact and other attachment-based activities. These are areas that were goals in Razae’s Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). He is thriving in this placement. Razae still visits his maternal grandmother and there is talk of placing him with her in the future.Bottom of Form

Part C
Look at your text section 5.3 “Cognitive Milestones” and watch or re-watch the video on Vygotsky located under Week 6 module. Now I’d like you to think about how understanding how infants and toddlers typically develop might be able to help teachers’ “scaffold” a child’s learning. Do you think this can apply to children as young as infants or toddlers? Be specific, using examples of activities that a teacher could use to help a child achieve certain milestones. Do you agree with Vygotsky that adults/teachers are important to a child in achieving these milestones? Why or why not?
Include a YouTube video or article to support your statements.
