1. How Does My Child Interact With You?
Example:
To gain more information, ask the provider to describe how your child gets his needs met from an adult or what she does when she is feeling a certain way.
Your child is very independent depending on what he wants, sometimes he asks me for help, he comes to me in a situation that he may get frustrated, and need me to handle. I see that your child interacts with me well.
2. How Does My Child Interact With Other Children?
Example:
What you really want to know is if and how your child socializes with others. If your child is shy or does more self-play than group-play, follow up with questions about whether this is normal for your child's age or if there are any special concerns.
Your child interacts with children well. I can tell if your child wants to be alone, he can play with a group of children and then he wanders off to another center to be by himself and sometimes he may approach me and direct me to the center where he wants to play and make sure there's no other children. I understand that he gets a little overwhelm which is okay and this will happen.
3. How Do You Administer Discipline?
Example:
Consistency of disciplinary tactics helps your child learn consequences and avoids a child believing he can act differently with different adults.
When your child misbehave, I get to his level and I explain to him that what he did wasn't nice, I let him know you have choices to behave in a bad manner or good manner. When I do ask him what manner did u behave in he says " in a bad manner". He understands right from wrong, so he know that Ms. Christy have to hold his hand and walk with me where ever I go. There are times that he behaves in a good manner and I high five him for that. I redirect him to another activity depending on the situation.
4. What Are My Child's Strengths? Concerns?
Example:
Ask about areas of concern. Don't consider this fishing for compliments; but only for better understanding the qualities that make your child so special.
Your child has a lot of strengths such as: cleaning up his area, putting toys away that he had, listening to my words, using his words if he want's something. He can get in his moods, but for the most part he's good about what he does and how he does it. When asking for things or wanting he won't give me eye contact and tell me exactly what he wants or if someone is bothering him, so that's what I want to work with him on and if you don't mind working with him at home.
5. What Does My Child Eat?
Example:
Interestingly enough, children will devour a food in a group setting that they may otherwise refuse to even taste at home.
Your child likes most of his meals He will eat all his fruit, pizza, soups, he loves cherrioes,that's just some meals that he will eat and more. Now he won't drink his milk at all. I have to encourage him to drink his milk, I talk to him about how healthy milk is to our bodies. Other than that he eats pretty good

Journal Entry # 7
When I watched the different video's about what not to wear, it actually fit me perfectly. As a child I grew up being the only girl with four brother's. It was very difficult trying to dress like a little girl. I dress like a little girl sometimes but I rather wear clothes like my brother's. This video had a lot of things that I use to wear such as: khakis, tee shirt, tennie shoes, or jeans button down shirt and dress shoes. I dress well but not like a young lady. As I got older going to high school things started changing. I never wore make-up just carmex. When I graduated I really started coming out my shell which I started dressing up espeically when I had interviews to go on. I started trying wearing make-up. After 26 years old I was dressing like a woman and wearing make-up. It was like I had a make over trying different things on. When watching the vidoes I was surprise of how I seen some of the women that use to dress like boys wow! I'm glad that I could experience the difference and that it was pretty cool to finally dress like a woman. As today I wear dresses, high heels, wedges, pumps, etc. BEAUTFUL ME;)
