Mary Sonnenberg, M.Ed. University of Delaware, Department of Human Development and Family Studies Penny L. Deiner, Ph.D., Professor Emerita and past Chair © 2011 The Nemours Foundation, through its Division on Health and Prevention Services and the University of Delaware Introduction Growing, Moving, Learning – Infant Toddler Toolkit was originally developed and piloted by Penny Deiner, Ph.D., Professor Emerita and past Chair of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies, at the University of Delaware in conjunction with Nemours Health and Prevention Services. The Toolkit was developed to provide opportunities for early care and education providers to practice and teach healthy patterns of physical activity and nutrition with the youngest children in their care. It has recently been updated and revised by staff at the Delaware Institute for Excellence in Early Childhood at the University of Delaware to reflect the new Delaware Early Learning Foundations. This effort continues to be a collaborative project with Nemours Health and Prevention Services. The Toolkit provides developmentally appropriate activities that meet the need for helpful, fun and meaningful experiences to support healthy eating, physical activity and health awareness for the youngest children in early care and education settings. It is a three volume series: Birth through 12 Months 12-24 Months 24-36 Months Each volume has classroom and family activities which work together to focus on a particular area of development, skill or concept. Each volume consists of these sections: Classroom Activities (2) Activities to Do at Home Healthy Home Connection The two classroom activities are meant to work together. They include relevant background information to support the activities. The Early Learning Foundations section highlights opportunities from the Physical Development and Health, Social Emotional, Discoveries, and Language and Literacy domains. Materials needed and procedures for the activities are detailed in each classroom activity. In addition, suggestions for adaptations and extensions for the activities are included. The Activities to Do at Home section includes information that can be sent home to families to explain the activities that have been done at the child’s program. This information includes why the activities are important, ways to do the activities with the family, and easily accessible resources for families to use at home to support the activities. The Healthy Home Connection contains the directions for specific activities to do at home as a family, along with a space to write about their child’s response to the activity at home. The hope is that providers will find these activities useful in promoting health awareness and healthy lifestyles for the youngest children in their care. Early care and education programs have the chance to make a significant impact on physical development and developing healthy lifestyles in infants and toddlers when they promote healthy eating and physical activity as part of daily routines and activities. © 2011 The Nemours Foundation, through its Division on Health and Prevention Services and the University of Delaware Growing, Moving, Learning Infant Toddler Toolkit Volume Pages Volume 1: Birth through 12 Months A-1 through A-114 Volume 2: 12-24 Months B-1 through B-160 Volume 3: 24-36 Months C-1 through C-158 © 2011 The Nemours Foundation, through its Division on Health and Prevention Services and the University of Delaware © 2011 The Nemours Foundation, through its Division on Health and Prevention Services and the University of Delaware Growing, Moving, Learning Infant Toddler Toolkit Volume 1: Birth through 12 Months © 2011 The Nemours Foundation, through its Division on Health and Prevention Services and the University of Delaware © 2011 The Nemours Foundation, through its Division on Health and Prevention Services and the University of Delaware Growing, Moving, Learning Infant Toddler Toolkit Birth- 12 Months Healthy Home Module Page Activity Connection PA: Baby Yoga A-5 Yoga for Babies Baby Yoga at Home Padahasta HE: Books A-13 The Carrot Seed Vegetables at Home I Love Colors HE: Fruits are Yummy A-21 Where, Oh Where is my Exploring Fruits at and Healthy Watermelon?

I, furthermore, hereby indicate that this thesis does not include work submitted for any other academic degree or professional qualification Signed Rev Dr John Andrew Scott January 2015 Abstract This thesis examines and critiques the doctrine of baptism in the theology of Thomas Torrance and utilises aspects of Torrance’s doctrine to recover and enrich the meaning of baptism in Westminster theology. Torrance’s doctrine of baptism has suffered from misunderstanding and has been widely neglected. This arises from Torrance introducing a new soteriological paradigm, that is claimed by Torrance, to be both new, and at the same time to be a recovery of the work of the early church fathers and Calvin.

  • Child Development Knowledge and Human Factors in Toy Design: An
    CHILD DEVELOPMENT KNOWLEDGE AND HUMAN FACTORS IN TOY DESIGN: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF POPULAR CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS by Alexandra Lopez July, 2012 Director of Thesis: Sandra Triebenbacher, PhD Major Department: Child Development and Family Relations Play reflects how children understand the world, and it also provides them with opportunities to learn and refine their social, emotional, motor, and problem-solving skills. Before designing a product such as a children's toy, it is important for the engineer to consider all of the tasks that users will be executing with the finished product. From a general human factors perspective, physical and cognitive operations are the primary categories of tasks that are deliberated. The purpose of this study is to assess if child development theory and knowledge informs the design process of those who create children’s products. Patents of toys (n=38) selected to be included in this study were analyzed to see if and how knowledge of child development was incorporated into the development of the product, as well as to evaluate if there have been any changes in the use of child development knowledge in toy design. The results indicated that toy patents in this study did utilize knowledge of child development and demonstrated a significant increase in the utilization of child development knowledge more frequently in contemporary toys, particularly in cognitive learning. Overall, there were strong correlations between the number of evidence pieces within the patent discussing various child development topics,

  • Living with Infants, Toddlers, and Children Who Have Been Prenatally Exposed to Alcohol
    Living with Infants, Toddlers, and Children who have been Prenatally Exposed to Alcohol This section includes practical information about what to look for and how to successfully deal with your infant, toddler, or child who has been affected by prenatal alcohol exposure. Much of the information comes directly from parent experiences. Also included is information that we encourage you to copy and share with your child's teachers and other caregivers. It is crucial for everyone involved in the care and education of a child with disabilities to remember that they are first a child and second, a child with a disability. Children with FAS or ARND, like all children, will move through various stages of normal development. They may not move as quickly or as distinctly, but they will move and grow. With growth come struggles and challenges. A typically developing child may demonstrate some of the behaviors described in this section, but because he or she does not present a disability, their behavior is dealt with and accepted as a normal part of growing up. Conversely, children with disabilities often display appropriate or typically challenging behaviors for a child at their developmental level, but because they have a disability, their behavior becomes amplified by those who are working with and caring for them. Because this happens so frequently and unconsciously, readers are urged to balance their perceptions of their child's behavior with their knowledge and experience of normal/typical child development and behavior. � How Parents Can Help
