SOC 312 Child Family and Society

SOC 312 (Child Family and Society)

Week 1

Week 1 DQ 1 Bronfenbrenners Ecological Model

Your text uses Bronfenbrenners ecological model to explain how childrens development is affected by
different groups within their world. Using this theory, we can understand how children are socialized
both intentionally and unintentionally. You must understand how this theory applies to your own
upbringing as well as a young childs upbringing in order to truly comprehend the concept. Use your
understanding of this theory to respond to the questions below.

Week 1 DQ 2 Agents of Socialization

Agents of socialization include parents, siblings, extended family, community, culture, economic
environment, religion, child care, school, teachers, peers, formal organizations, sports, mass media, and
technology. In an ideal world, these agents would complement one another in order to best influence a
childs development. Choose three of the above agents and discuss how these agents can have both a
positive and negative influence on a childs development. Include examples from your own experience
and share ways you believe the agents of socialization could be improved.

Week 2

Week 2 DQ 1 The Theory of Mind

Watch the following short film, Theory of Mind.mov, demonstrating the theory of mind using a juice box
experiment.

At around four years of age, a fundamental change occurs in childrens understanding of others
behaviors or what is also called theory of mind. Using your knowledge from our readings, watch the
video to determine which stage both Jacob and Patrick are currently in respectively.

Discuss both Jacobs and Patricks reaction to the mean monkey. What stage would Erickson say each
child is in? How do these different stages influence their values and attitudes? Do you think it is possible
for a child over the age of three to have trouble understanding that his or her beliefs can be false?
Explain your reasoning.

Week DQ 2 Self-Regulation

Regardless of a childs unique qualities, one thing remains the same; to improve learning and behavior,
children must develop strong self-regulation skills. Read the following article from the National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), Developing Young Childrens Self-Regulation
Through Everyday Experiences.

Week 3

Week 3 DQ 1 Motivators

You are a preschool teacher. Describe a situation in which you would use an extrinsic reward to motivate
a preschooler. Discuss how these motivators could result in learned helplessness. Now give examples
and explain how you can lead the same child to achieve intrinsic motivation by becoming their own locus
of control. Keep in mind that your end goal is for the child to be intrinsically motivated so they have
ownership of the behavior.

Week 3 DQ 2 Control

The role of the microsystem in shaping childrens effortful control is important and parents play a critical
role. What would you recommend to a parent who asks you what he or she can do to promote his or her
preschool childs self-regulation skills? Now turning to the mesosystem, identify examples of influences
on the childs effortful control you can share with the parent.

Provide examples of influences on childrens effortful control that you have observed in your own family
and other families who are close to you.

Consider what Donna Ford has to say about prejudice and stereotyping.

Discuss how educators can positively influence a school-age child to not hold biases or prejudices against
others. Give an example of how you can create a community of learners who support one another by
fostering positive attitudes. Give an example of how you could teach your students the importance of
acceptance. Your post must address the children in the concrete operational stage.

Week 4 DQ 2 Bullying

Bullying is a prevalent issue during middle childhood. Watch following video, The Power of One School

technology is increasing rapidly and is only becoming a larger portion of our childrens lives. First, choose
an age level (toddler, pre-school, or elementary age). Then, list three positive examples of how
technology has enhanced socialization for children in that age group. Give two additional examples of
how parents/educators can use technology to further enhance a childs socialization.

Week 5 DQ 2 Nonparental Care

Choose one of the three nonparental care choices: nannies, center-based, or family-based care. Pretend
you are trying to sell your chosen method of care to a prospective client who is a parent of a toddler.
Share the advantages of your childcare setting so that the parent chooses your method to care for their
child. Address the following in your post: socialization, cost, turnover, and any other points that you
