This first assignment is to get you thinking about child guidance. You do not need to research, read, or google anything for this assignment. I want to know about the information (if any) you are coming into this class with. Be thoughtful and thorough in your answers (these cannot be answered in just one sentence).

Answer the following questions and submit them to the assignment folder by the due date.

1. What comes to mind when you hear terms like child guidance, discipline, punishment, or consequences? Are these terms new? Are they familiar? What examples come to mind?

2. Share any background you have with child guidance. This can be from previous classes, working with children, seeing your family members with young children, etc.

3. Share your comfort level with child guidance. Have you been in situations in which you had to deal with a challenging child? Are you aware of any child guidance techniques right now? If you were placed in a preschool classroom today, would you be comfortable dealing with guidance-related situations?
