ASH ECE 214 Week 3 Assignment Child Story
Assignment NEW
ash/ece-214-week-3-assignment-child-story-
assignment-recent
Throughout Chapters 5 and 6 of your textbook, we
have explored many areas of health and wellness
this week. For your Week 3 assignment you will
develop one of these themes into a story or
presentation for children and their families.
To begin, choose one of the following health and
wellness themes:
Engaging in Physical Activity
Nutritious Eating
Illness/Infection Prevention
Staying Healthy in School

Staying Healthy at Home
Next, decide if you want to present your theme as a
story using Storybird or a presentation using
PowerPoint. Your story or presentation must
contain the following:
A clear focus on one health and wellness theme
from the list above.
Be written for an audience of children and their
families
At least five teaching points that are directly
related to your chosen theme. The teaching points
you share could be facts from the textbook, ideas,
strategies, or information relating to your chosen
theme that are important to understand. For
example, if you choose to develop a story based on
the theme of illness/infection prevention you
might have a child who gets sick and has to visit
the doctor. While at the doctor’s office, the child
learns about five ways to prevent illness/infection.
If you chose to create a presentation on this theme,
you would need to include at least five examples of
how you can prevent illness/infection that you
want the children and families viewing your
presentation to understand.

At least five images, sounds, or audio features that
enhance your story or presentation.
A resource page with at least three child and
family friendly resources that could be used for
the family to learn more information about the
theme of your story or presentation. This is
separate from your reference page for the
assignment.
Your story or presentation should be at least ten
pages/slides in length (not including the title and
reference pages/slides). You will include at least
two scholarly sources to support your theme. Be
sure to cite these in APA format on the reference
page.

ECE 214 Week 3 Discussion 1 Promoting Health
and Wellness NEW
Promoting Health and Wellness. 1st Post Due by
Day 3.Several weeks ago, the Smith family enrolled
their 4- year-old son, Trevor, in your child care
center.
As Trevor's teacher, you have already observed
that Trevor does not like to participate in activities
that involve running, climbing, jumping, or more
than minimal physical

movement. When presented with toys such as a
ball or mitt, Trevor seems clumsy and unsure of
how to use them, making him reluctant to play
with the other children outdoors. Furthermore,
Trevor’s parents shared with you that his
pediatrician noted Trevor’s weight is above
average for his height. His parents often send him
to school with his lunch bag full of snacks such as
cheese puffs and sugary drinks. During her initial
interview with Trevor's family, Mr. and Mrs. Smith
mentioned to you
that Trevor spends most of his free time playing
handheld video games and watching cartoons. The
Smiths said they would like to spend more time
with Trevor playing outdoors, but their work
schedules make this very challenging.
What health concerns do you have about Trevor
based on the information you have about Trevor
and his family?
How can you encourage Trevor to participate in
more physical activities at the center?
You have an upcoming parent-teacher conference
with Trevor’s parents. How can you respectfully
discuss your concern about the type of snacks he
brings to school?

ASH ECE 214 Week 3 Discussion 2 The Vaccine
Debate NEW
ash/ece-214-week-3-discussion-2-the-vaccine-
debate-recent
The Vaccine Debate. 1st Post Due by Day 3.
According to Groark and Song (2012), “although
vaccinations carry some risks and possible side
effects, a child is generally at much greater risk for
illness, which could be deadly, if the child is not
vaccinated” (Section 6.4). The short- and long-term
side effects of vaccines have been receiving more
and more attention. For this discussion, review
both sides of the vaccine debate by reading “Safety
& Prevention:
How Safe are Vaccines?” from American Academy
of Pediatrics and “KNOW...The Vaccine
Controversy” from Vaccine Awareness of North
Florida. Using these articles as well as information

from Chapter 6, construct an argument either in
favor of or against the use of vaccines based on the
following:
If your birthday falls between January and June:
Argue for vaccines.
If your birthday falls between July and December:
Argue against vaccines.
Be sure to support your stance with reference to at
least one additional source (and include an APA-
formatted reference for that source). Your
discussion post should be at least 200 words in
length

Health and Wellness Appraisals. 1st Post Due by
Day 3. You are a teacher in a 4-year-old classroom
and begin each day with your daily health and
wellness check. You notice that a child who is
dropped off looks very tired and is uncommonly
quiet as she walks into the classroom. She was
dropped off by bus so you have no additional
information.
Given the above scenario, choose one of the
following possible causes for the change in the
child. Please indicate the cause you selected in the
subject line of your discussion post.

Sickness/Illness
Trauma
Abuse
Oral Health Issue: Tooth ache, poor oral health
Nutritional Concern: Inadequate nutritional
intake, food allergy, food intolerance
Hearing Concern: Ear Infection, ear ache
Vision Concern: Eye infection
Social-Emotional Issue
Examples of some of these common situations are
described further in Chapter 7. After you select
one of these as a possible cause for the child’s
change in demeanor, use your imagination to
develop it further discussing what you may see
when you conduct your observation of the child.
Be mindful to detail what you might look for and
how you will document your observations. Based
on your fictitious observation, create a plan of
action for how to proceed. This plan should
include both immediate and long-term actions that
you will take.

Address the following points in your discussion:
Fictitious elaboration of what you observe in the
child including the possible cause. Include enough
so
that you can make a plan of action
Short-term plan of action detailing the procedure
of how you will address the issue immediately or
by the
end of the day
Long-term plan of action detailing the procedure
of how you will follow-up your short-term plan of
action
Specific discussion regarding how you will support
the child during this time
Guided Response: Read several of your classmates’
responses. Choose two peers who have chosen a
different possible cause. Describe one example of a
short-term action and one example of a long-term
action that your classmates did not think of.

Preschool Teacher NEW
Safe Environments. 1st Post Due by Day 3. For this
discussion, think about the information presented
in Chapter 8 regarding safe and supportive indoor
and outdoor environments. In addition, think
about your personal philosophy of learning and
choose one developmental level (e.g., infants,
toddlers, or preschoolers). When thinking about
developmental levels, consider your future career
aspirations. Some of you may want be to be an
infant and toddler home daycare provider, a
family specialist for Head Start, or you may want to
be a kindergarten classroom teacher. Please use
the subject line of your discussion post to state

what you wish to be in your future role. Then for
your discussion, attach four pictures that you feel
show elements of safe and supportive physical
environments that you wish to create in your
future role. Two of the pictures should be indoor
environments and two of the pictures should be
outdoor environments. These pictures can be from
environments that you have access to, Microsoft
clip art, or they may be from the Internet.
For each picture, your discussion should address
the following questions:
What specifically do you like about the features of
the environment?
What specific elements make this a safe
environment?
What specific elements make this a supportive
environment for the developmental level and
future role you have identified?
You may attach the pictures directly to your
discussion, or you may attach a Word document in
which you compile your pictures and reflections.
Be sure to include a reference to the textbook and
at least one outside resource to support your ideas
with justification.

Guided Response: Review several of your
classmates’ responses. Please respond to at least
two peers, further analyzing their pictures. Be sure
to support or respectfully refute elements of the
design based on content knowledge. Please think
about considering licensing requirements as part
of your response.

Post Due by Day 3. When we think about overall
well-being, it is important to consider our children
and families. For this discussion, you will explore
several social, emotional, and behavioral
resources that could be shared with children or
families. You may find a preschool website with a
game about good choices, or you may find a book
