Assignment:Understanding Threats to Children's Development from a Global Perspective
After you have watched the videos and read the articles focusing on poor health and hygiene, poverty, and malnutrition, respond to the following questions:
- What have you learned about critical issues impacting children at the global level? Consider in your response how the issues of poor health and hygiene, poverty, and malnutrition impact children's basic needs, and the implications for their health and well-being.
- How do children in the United States fare in terms of the critical issues of poor health and hygiene, poverty, and malnutrition? Why is supporting each of these basic needs such a difficult challenge, both in the United States and around the world?
- Why is understanding the impact of these issues, both in the United States and around the world, such an important goal for child development professionals?
Submit a summary of your thinking by articulating:
- A general statement about how issues of poor health and hygiene, poverty, and malnutrition represent critical global challenges to young children's healthy development and well-being, and how your understanding of these topics has expanded and/or deepened
- How information supporting understanding diverse, global issues facing children is relevant to your role as a child development professional
