The Ultimate Issue with the Field of Early Childhood

One issue with the field of early childhood has been viewed as elusive for over 30 years now. Great theorist and scientists of the past have helped to pave the way for young lives by creating a foundation that children can thrive from. They knew that children needed age appropriateness along with the quality of professionals that encounter young children daily. The work of those important contributors have been used to try to formulate guidelines for states to follow, but are falling short on the fact that this is a crucial times for all young children. Some professional’s issues stem from not continuing to gain the ever-changing knowledge of the Early Childhood field to better serve the children and their needs. Professionals can obtain quality by setting aside expectations and relate to diverse families and by understanding their needs and desires unconditionally. Early childhood is not called a field for nothing; you have to know the community you service; to understand the changes, contexts, consequences and challenges that families and young children face. Issues will remain issues until professionals step outside of the box and try to make a difference; for they are the leaders of our nation. Communication, caring, understanding trends and issues of the field and determination are key components to reaching our ultimate goal in the filed- NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND! Not quite yet succeeded! Ive encoded so much from my colleagues and look forward to having you in class again! I will continue to advocate for families of poverty in need. Mia
