Newborn babies cry when they are uncomfortable, and their early smiles, after the first five weeks, are not merely reflexive, but an indication that infants feel good about something or somebody. After the first five months emotional responses become increasingly independent from physical pain or pleasure, and increasingly differentiated. Parents begin to play a lesser role in the lives and emotions of older preschoolers and school-age children. These children identify with their peers, whom they admire or resent strongly and from whom they feel compelled to learn. At all times, however, regardless of what they are learning and from whom, children are propelled by their affect. Therefore, any adult who deals with children must be aware of their emotions and use them to facilitate the child's acquisition of skills and knowledge.","PeriodicalId":151051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of children in contemporary society","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130996411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is proposed that family styles, especially the degree to which parents discuss and interpret the world for children, are important influences on the development of imagination, self-control, and avoidance of unwarranted expression of negative affect or anger. Television-viewing, although a potentially positive influence with limited use and appropriate programming, generally predicts negative affective patterns and aggression. Parent, educator, and clinical approaches to mitigating such negative influences of television are considered.","PeriodicalId":151051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of children in contemporary society","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131853304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, second order change demands fundamental shifts in students' thinking, a reframing of previous learning which serves as a springboard for a transformation to new levels of comprehension. The concepts of first and second order change are applied to various aspects of training and educating child care practitioners: curriculum planning, classroom learning, and field instruction. The concept is particularly relevant because many training efforts have focused only on first order change, and failing to provide students with high order thinking and practice skills for long term careers and effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":151051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of children in contemporary society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134315681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
