• Unit 3 Synopsis and Checklist

Topic 2 Course Description:
2 Clock Hours
CDA Settings:

• Infant/Toddler
• Preschool
• Family Child Care (Mixed-Age)

​Young children who experience warm and respectful relationships are more likely to develop positive relationships with peers and teachers in elementary school. In this topic you will learn how hereditary and environmental factors impact children’s behavior. Understanding young children’s developmental levels and characteristics helps early childhood teachers respond to children’s behaviors as teachable moments that provide learning opportunities.

Learning Outcomes:

• Explain how teachers can provide a supportive environment for young children that influence the
  development of pro-social behavior.
• Explain how your personal beliefs and values affect your interactions with children.
• Name positive strategies for communicating with young children.
