Review the various developmental theories covered in the course and in the readings, and explain which theory/theories your topic relates to and explain how they relate or reflect to the theory/theories you have identified. This area will also have citations because you are discussing and relating to theory. 4. Discuss how your opinions, attitudes, beliefs, and biases, formed, reinforced, or changed based on the research you have done. 5. Imagine you had to explain your research topic to another ECE. What tips and guidelines might you suggest to your colleague so that they could better understand and support the infant/toddler develops as it relates to your topic? In other words, how will this research assist you during your career as an ECE? This prompt relates to applying theory to practice. 6. Describe a learning experience/activity for an infant or toddler (pick the same age range you used in the topic) that would help support skills related to the topic and/or stimulate skill development. Your idea should be developmentally appropriate and relevant. Describe the materials you would use, how you would invite the infant/toddler to the activity/experience, what you might say to the infant/toddler to engage them in the experience/activity, and identify the developmental area and two developmental skills you are targeting. Then, explain how your activity/experience is responsive to the two developmental skills you identified. 1. What is the best style of music for toddlers to hear in order for them to improve in their personal development? 2. What is the greatest approach for me, as an ECE, to include music or white noise into a toddler′s life that will have a beneficial affect on them? 3. What influence does music have on the psychological state of a toddler? 4. Why are instrumentals beneficial to their motor skills?
