Learning to Give and Receive

Everyone wants to be appreciated. However, many people find it difficult to give and receive praise and appreciation. How do you respond when someone recognizes you or shows appreciation? Do you accept it or dismiss it? Do you feel obligated to reciprocate? Do you downplay yourself and your contribution? These are common and often unconscious responses that are learned from our culture, families, and past experiences. When someone compliments you or shows their appreciation, they are sharing how your actions or behaviors have positively impacted them. It may make you uncomfortable or you may feel you don’t deserve it, but it is their experience of you. Let them share it.

Showing and receiving appreciation has the power to enhance your interactions and change your mood. The more comfortable you become with accepting appreciation, the more comfortable you will be with giving it.

What you can do:

Abril/Mayo2019

El boletín mensual de ACS/CUNYProyecto de Cuidado Infantil Familiar eInformal!

Los Niños y las Pantallas Digitales

Un mensaje del Equipo del Proyecto de Cuidado Infantil Familiar InformalGracias por cuidar y educar a los niños en la Ciudad de Nueva York. El Instituto de Desarrollo Profesional de la

Primera Infancia de Nueva York, a través del Proyecto de Cuidado Infantil Familiar Informal (IFCC) de ACS/CUNY, ¡esta aquí para ayudarle a tener éxito! A través de entrenamientos, información y recursos, IFCC ayuda a

proveedores de cuidado infantil familiar a desarrollar el conocimiento, habilidades y herramientas que apoyan el trabajo tan importante que hacen con los niños cada día.

ACS/CUNYInformal Family Child Care Project

Los niños pasan más tiempo frente a la pantalla y otros medios de comunicación - y en edades más jóvenes - que nunca. Los dispositivos, aplicaciones y juegos diseñados para los niños – cuales son comercializados a las familias ansiosas- parecen no tener fin. El “entretenimiento” electrónico en sus múltiples formas viene empaquetado para los niños, incluyendo bebés y niños pequeños; y, muchos niños aprenden a dominar los dispositivos digitales antes de que puedan hablar, atarse los zapatos o leer.

Dada la preponderancia (prevalencia) de las pantallas en la vida de muchos niños pequeños, es crucial que los profesionales de la primera infancia, hagan decisiones bien pensadas y basadas en la evidencia acerca de cómo, por qué, si, y cuándo incorporar tecnologías de pantalla en sus ambientes. "

Lo que puede hacer:1. Tomar decisiones intencionales acerca de la tecnología. Entender las opciones que está tomando acerca del uso de la tecnología

y por qué.2. Elija ser libre de la pantalla. Crear un ambiente libre de pantalla, y basado en el juego.

3. Aprender cómo la tecnología afecta el desarrollo y aprendizaje de los niños. Comprender cómo la exposición de los niños a laspantallas influye en su aprendizaje y en el comportamiento.

4. Trabajar en estrecha colaboración con las familias. Comprender cuanto tiempo frente a la pantalla y el contenido de losprogramas se usa en el hogar.

5.

"Tableros inteligentes. Los teléfonos inteligentes. Tablets. E-libros, y mucho más. La rápida afluencia de nuevos dispositivos de pantalla plantea un reto especial para la comunidad de la primera infancia. Un niño nacido hoy experimentará con tecnologías maravillosas que pocos de nosotros podemos imaginar. ¿Cómo podemos apoyar el crecimiento de los niños, el desarrollo y el aprendizaje en un mundo cambiado radicalmente por la tecnología?

Conocer los tiempos para la pantalla segun la edad.

La ciencia moderna confirma lo que la comunidad de la primera infancia ha conocido durante años que los bebés, niños pequeños y niños preescolares aprenden a través de la exploración con todo el cuerpo y que necesitan muchas interacciones cara-a-cara. Sin embargo, desde la infancia, los niños pasan cada vez más tiempo con las tecnologías de pantallas y los estudios muestran que los niños pequeños cuanto más tiempo pasan con pantallas, menor será el tiempo que pasan participan en las interacciones con los adultos que los cuidan y en el juego práctico o creativo.

Lo siguiente es un extracto de Frente al Dilema de la Pantalla: Los Niños Pequeños, Tecnología y Educación Temprana - una guía publicada por la Campaña para una Niñez Libre de Comerciales para ayudarle a las familias con las que trabaja a tomar decisiones informadas acerca de si, por qué, cómo y cuándo utilizar tecnologías de pantalla. Proporciona una visión general de las investigaciones sobre el tiempo de pantalla y los niños pequeños, y ofrece una guía para aquellos que quieren que sus hogares y programas sean libres de pantallas, así como para los que optan por incorporar la tecnología en sus ambientes.

Aprender a Dar y Recibir

Todo el mundo quiere ser apreciado. Sin embargo, muchas personas tienen dificultades para dar y recibir elogios y reconocimiento. ¿Cómo respondes cuando alguien te reconoce o muestra aprecio? ¿Lo acepta, lo ignora? ¿Se siente obligado a corresponder? ¿Le restan importancia a sí mismo ya su contribución? Estas son respuestas comunes y, a menudo inconscientes que se aprenden de nuestra cultura, familias, y experiencias pasadas. Cuando alguien le felicita o muestra su apreciación, están compartiendo que sus acciones o comportamientos han tenido un impacto positivo. Usted se puede hacer sentir incómodo o puede que no lo merece, pero es la experiencia de otros hacia usted. Es mejor dejar que lo compartan.

Saber cómo mostrar y recibir el reconocimiento tiene el poder para mejorar sus interacciones y cambiar su estado de ánimo. Lo más cómodo se sienta en recibir apreciación, lo más cómodo se sentirá en darlo.
