Many U.S. children attend child care, either in registered homes or centers, but research surveys have shown that the quality of these facilities varies widely. Use your knowledge of brain and cognitive development (Chapters 4 and 5) to propose equipment, toys, or activities caregivers could provide that would stimulate a specific aspect of brain or cognitive development (such as goal-oriented problem solving, attention, memory, categorization, or language). You do not have to provide an example of each, but at least one good example (equipment, toy, or activity) and describe how that would stimulate a specific aspect of brain or cognitive development. You must post your response first, which must be a minimum of 150 words, then you must also post a response to at least one of your classmates. |
