A lot of the articles are out date YET timeless, it still speaks
to the stagnant or progression we have made in ECD.
I have gained
Just from exploring the
http://www.ecdvu.org/ssa/major.report.php I have
come across an idea to contribute to my
center . The article “Involving Fathers
in Early Childhood Care and Development “
written by ; Rosemary Hua of Nigeria, inspirited me to take a closer look at father
participation in child care. We have fathers from one extreme, to the other meaning ; helicopter fathers who make it impossible or uncomfortable for educators
to do their jobs or from the other end of the spectrum fathers that
are missing in action. This particulate article is about getting fathers
involved more, they are even asked how they view children , an interesting reply from a father from Nigeria was “Mr. Swem, who is about 65 years old, said:
“A man without children is like a farmer who eats all his corn without keeping
some seeds. He will have nothing to plant next year.” http://www.ecdvu.org/ssa/major.report.php
Interesting comparison, just from this website alone I find this to be
noteworthy, it seems that most men have allowed mothers to
take the lead in child care and I’m sure that the mothers convey information
about their child’s development growth from the educators stand-point, however I can see and indicator (from what moms share, or how lost fathers look at drop off or pick up) that educators need to support the moms and focus
in on giving the fathers their own club
to receive information Reference;

I wonder how can we get our father involved in their child education. It crazy how fathers are MIA even in other countries.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this information. I see that mothers around the world take the lead with their children as we do here in the states.

ReplyDeleteI agree with the point you made about many articles being out of date. I found that as well on the Australia site but it is true that it goes to show we are still dealing with many of the same issues and trends. We have come along way yet still have a ways to go.
ReplyDeleteMost men think it is the women's job to be involved in their children's education. I think this is happening because of the lack of men role models. They have to be taught.To me this a generational curse that needs to be broken all over.

Men in today's society believe that it is the women duty to care about the child's development. It is very rare that we find men concern about a child's development
