1. The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages most screen time (e.g. watching TV, playing on devices, etc.) for children under the age of 15 months. However, 74% of children under the age of 2 have watched TV and approximately 43% watch TV every day. What are the concerns associated with young children watching TV? What are some reasonable guidelines to limiting screen time? Do you think that the experience of children using media, like tablets or iPads or iPods, would be different? Remember to utilize information from your textbook and outside sources.

2. Based on your reading about Piaget's cognitive stage of development, what are the cognitive milestones typically achieved during early childhood (ages 3-6)? How do children in early childhood learn things like math, reading, social norms, and how to make friends? Remember to base your answer on your reading from the DL program as well as your textbook and outside reading.

3.After completing the Early Childhood module, review the two child report cards. Is your little one ready for kindergarten? Based on this information, what are some of the strengths your child has begun to demonstrate? Review the parenting report card. What type of parenting style does this report indicate you utilize? Do you agree with this assessment of your parenting style?

4.One of Jean Piaget's most famous quotes is, "Play is the work of childhood." Based on the research presented in the DL program and your textbook, what are the different types of play? What are the cognitive, social, and emotional benefits to play during early childhood?

5.By age 4, the vast majority of children in the U.S. are in some type of structured learning environment. In the fall of 2016, the National Center for Education Statistics reported that approximately 50.4 million students were attending public elementary and secondary schools. What factors impact how successful a student will be in school? What defines success in the school setting?

6. Reflection questions are designed to help you think about the material in a personal and meaningful way. As you reflect on the different parenting styles, which one best describes the approach your parents or caregivers took to raising you? Do you predict you will utilize the same parenting style? Do you think it is possible for the same parents to use different parenting styles with different kids?
