Abstract
The paper discusses the need for more parental awareness on the dangers of choking among children ages 1 to 4. It recommends that health care administrators and agencies use the health belief model as a routine tool for educating parents about the potential dangers associated with toddler choking. It proposes that this model supplies ample information about choking prevention and can supply parents with the education they need to intervene in a choking situation. It also explores how adopting this model will help, not only promote awareness, but to educate parents about the specific strategies they can adopt to remove this hazard from their environment.

From the Paper
"There is much support for the health belief model as an effective technique for educating parents and preventing choking in toddlers. Chew, Kim & Palmer (1998) conducts a longitudinal study promoting use of the health belief model for adapting nutrition behavior among motivated participants. Their results lend positive support for use of this model. Epstein et al. (1993) suggest that the health belief model is a theory driven model that provides positive findings in most cases. Further their research investigations suggest the health belief model is ideal for adapting behavior and promoting positive and compliant health related behavior among parents (Epstein et al. 1993)."

Abstract
This paper explains that one of the most upsetting events for parents and children is when a child is bitten by another child. The author points out that the article addresses this problem from the standpoint of developmental problems including oral motor development, sensory integration and behavioral organization. The paper relates that Ramming, Kyger and Thompson believe that the best way to stop children from biting is to meet their developmental needs. The author surmises that, basically, children bite in reaction to different senses that they do not understand. The paper cites that the article suggests that the ways to prevent biting includes feeding the children foods that they can chew on and giving them oral stimulation brushes and other chewing objects.
From the Paper
"The authors believe biting is linked to oral development or the suck, swallow, and breathe synchrony. Children bite in order to change the environment. When a child feels stressed, the child bites to ease the stress. Sensory integration is related to the normal vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch, but also proprioceptive sense, vestibular sense, and tactile sense. When any of these are threatened, a child may bite (Running, Kyger, and Thompson, 2006, 18). Children cannot understand many of the senses that they are feeling so they bite to reduce the stress. The hypothesis by the authors states centers on the belief that a child bites when he is trying to respond to a situation but lacks the ability to handle the situation."

Abstract
This paper describes the different forms of emotional behavior and development that take place during the toddler years and then presents a guide for teachers and parents on how to understand the emotional lives of toddlers and how best to deal with some of their frustrations.
From the Paper
"When a baby learns to walk, often within months of his first birthday, he leaves the stage of infancy behind and becomes a "toddler (Murphy, p. 150)." After taking these first independent steps, toddlers become very goal-oriented. The act of walking more than a few steps become a goal, which when reached, is more important than staying close to his home base. When a toddler reaches the point that walking becomes routine, he often realizes that being safe requires his teachers or guardian to be close by. During this transition time, there are usually major developments in a toddler?s emotional skills."

The paper explains that she seems to have a need to know everything. The paper relates how now Janet is at the point where she enjoys scribbling with a crayon and explains that she has sufficient motor skills that most of the time she can feed, dress and toilet herself with minimal assistance.

From the Paper
"Mary is a family friend who has a daughter named Janet, aged 14 months. The period between one and two years of age is the toddler. Toddlerhood extends from the time when the child begins walking independently until they can walk and run without effort (Ross-Kerr & Wood, 2001). Janet was already walking at ten months, but another neighbor's child did not start walking until 15 months. Mary realizes that the difference does not mean anything beyond that developmental progression is highly individual."

Abstract
This paper provides facts and figures about malnutrition statistics amongst babies and toddlers. It explains that a high percentage of children are malnutritioned simply because of their fussy eating habits and not because of neglect. Following an introduction of the data, the paper examines 21 literary sources and summarizes the opinions of each one for the causes and consequences of toddler malnutrition and what can be do to reverse this trend.
From the Paper
"According to the United States Department of Agriculture, barely ? of all toddlers and preschoolers today eat a balanced diet (Schaaf 2002), a serious health concern to all, especially to parents. Undersecretary of Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Shirley Watkins ascribes the situation to the fact that, when these young children stop being breastfed and receiving baby foods in jars, their regular servings of milk, fruits and vegetables do not replace the nutrients they used to get from breast milk and jarred baby foods."

Abstract
This paper examines the importance of toys in the physical and psychological development of infants, toddlers and children. It evaluates how different toys can stimulate different cognitive development such as building blocks which can expand a child?s capacity in interpreting spatial relationships and math concepts like weight size and gravity. It discusses the psychology of how certain toys can be 'security blankets' or sleeping companions or even imaginary friends promoting a child's need for security but also preparing children for building loving bonds with others by applying their love for the doll to people in real life.
From the Paper
"Toys dominate in children?s daily activities early in childhood and play a crucial role in helping kids construct meanings from everyday experiences. Many kinds of concept are built with the aid of toys. A child experiences basic qualities like softness and hardness, flexibility and rigidity as he or she pokes a stuffed animal or squeezes a rubber doll. When building with blocks, children learn about spatial relationships and math concepts like weight size and gravity. As toy historians Eugene and Asterie Provenzo assert, toys provide children with ?the opportunity to penetrate and understand the physical environment in which they live?. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "How Babies Talk: The Magic and Mystery of Language in the First Three Years of Life" by Roberta Golinkoff and Kathy Hirsch-Pasek." It explains that the book is geared toward parents with infants who are interested in tracking how their children learn language. The paper looks at a portion of this book which is devoted to "experiments" that parents can do with their children. This also paper examines the style in which the book is written, the language used and the use of humour. Overall the writer was not impressed with this book and feels that it adds very little to the study of language development.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The authors of this book, Roberta Golinkoff and Kathy Hirsch-Pasek, claim that the fetus is being prepared to hear "the contours of our voice and the cadences of speech without ever hearing words the way that we do" (13). The words that the fetus hears, the authors state, is like the swimming pool game of guessing words spoken underwater.It is possible to hear the syllables and pitch of those words, but in most cases the words are indistinct at best. Using an experiment that monitored fetal heart rate, which declines initially before rising again when the fetus is exposed to a new experience, researchers found that babies can even differentiate between new sounds even in the uterus (14-15). Other experiments revealed that the fetus could determine differences in music and in poetry as well."

Toilet Training, 2005.
An analysis of the social and developmental impact of toilet training on toddlers.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 7 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at toilet training from historical, social, developmental and health perspectives. The paper analyzes the role that the child plays (mentally and developmentally), the parents play (their world-views and influence) and the primary care physicians play (advice, proper medication). The paper further examines what may occur if toilet training is a positive experience for the child (self-image), and what may occur if it is negative (constipation, lack of control, painful bowel movements). The writer shows the importance of carefully implemented toilet training.
From the Paper
"Toilet training may never seem to be a negative experience; after all, few adults can fully recall their own encounters with this event. However, it can be an important milestone in the life of a child, especially in the autonomy of a toddler. If the experience is a positive one, the child learns self-control, effective bladder and bowel management, and gains a sense of achievement. If the experience is a negative one, the child may feel a loss of control, fear of toileting, and experience constipation, encopresis or enuresis. While each child will learn to be potty trained at distinctive ages and through various methods, it is important that the parents and primary care physicians be vigilant in understanding the child's various needs through the toilet training process."

From the Paper
"Introduction
The topic of this paper is the effects of childcare on the cognitive and psychosocial development of infants and toddlers. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 65 percent of mothers with children below the age of six are working. The Children?s Defense Fund estimates that as many as six million infants and toddlers go to childcare centers. Thus, it is little wonder that over the last 15 years, many studies have been conducted to analyze the impact of childcare on the development of young children (Patten, 1999, p. 1). In this paper, the literature dealing with this topic over the last four years will be summarized and evaluated for their strengths and weaknesses.

Conduct Disorders in Children, 2002.
Presents a psychological project of changing violent behavior in a toddler.
2,587 words (approx. 10.3 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The emergence of a body of research into children's behavior around what has come to be called the area of conduct disorders indicates the seriousness with which the discipline of psychology is addressing evidence of social aggression and dissociation in the earliest years of life. This research examines the project of changing the violent behavior of a three-year-old subject. The research sets the context for and importance of embarking upon such a project and then discusses relevant research literature in this area with a view toward identifying appropriate intervention modalities as well as a strategy for implementing a particular kind of intervention.
From the Paper
"This approach implies, though it does not always state overtly, that the earlier preventive and reinforcing measures are undertaken, the better, which is to say that infancy is not too soon for parents to be alerted to child-rearing strategies that can have the effect of forestalling aggression-related problems in later childhood. Their line of thought is that training in a child's social competencies really starts with parental training in the same thing. Thus the emphasis throughout on "family management practices" that foster the creation and enforcement of well-articulated rules of family life, effective and diligent behavior monitoring, and the application of reasonable and consistent discipline."

Adoption on Christian Families, 2003.
The effects and outcomes of adoption (toddler age and younger) on Christian families.

Abstract
The paper examines the affects and outcomes of adoption in a Christian family. Three views that are discussed are the views from the person who was adopted, the siblings in the adopted family, and the parents in the adopted family.
From the Paper
"The view of the person who was adopted is not one that this interviewer expected. From the interviews conducted for this research paper, it appears that the adopted child does not give much thought to actually being adopted. The two people interviewed were both under one year old when they went to live with their Christian families. The interviewees expressed the fact that they did not feel like any of their siblings treated or had a different attitude toward them because they were adopted. Also, both adopted interviewees only thought that their parents treated them differently in a way that made them feel extra special about being in the family. When asked what obstacles each had to overcome (because they are from a race different than the adopted family) they both said racial prejudices were an obstacle."

The author concludes that the competitive analysis shows that the market currently has many childcare centers; however, the market demand has outpaced the industry's ability to meet this demand. The paper concludes that Starland Daycare has an excellent market entry opportunity provided it sites itself appropriately. The paper includes a chart showing a competitor profile matrix.

From the Paper
"The greatest threat in the childcare industry is the regulatory apparatus within which the industry's competitors must operate. There are federal and state guidelines and provisions that must be following as well as safety and health requirements of the local county and city offices which must be complied with. These regulations limit the number of children that a center can serve as well as the type of child in that the care and service arrangements for infants and toddlers are different than those for older children."
