SOC 312 WEEK 1 DISCUSSION 1

Bronfenbrenners Ecological Model
Your text uses Bronfenbrenner's ecological model to explain how children's
development is affected by different groups within their world. Using this theory, we
can understand how children are socialized both intentionally and unintentionally.
You must understand how this theory applies to your own upbringing as well as a
young child's upbringing in order to truly comprehend the concept. After reading the
text and the "Bronfenbrenners Ecological Systems Theory" article, use your
understanding of this theory to respond to the questions below.
Using Bronbenbrenner's ecological model, respond to the following questions:
a.
How did the microsystem that you grew up in differ from your parents or
grandparents microsystems? Do you think this is a detrimental or an affirmative
change to society as a whole?
b.
How do you think technology, specifically social media, influences a child's
mesosystems?

SOC 312 WEEK 2 DISCUSSIONS 2

Self-Regulation
Regardless of a childs unique qualities, one thing remains the same; to improve
learning and behavior, children must develop strong self-regulation skills. Read the
article from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC),
Developing Young Childrens Self-Regulation Through Everyday Experiences.
The marshmallow experiment is a famous test conducted by Walter Mischel at
Stanford University and discussed by Daniel Goleman in his popular work. In the
1960s, a group of four-year-olds were given a marshmallow and promised another
only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children could
wait and others could not. The researchers then followed the progress of each child
into adolescence, and demonstrated that those with the ability to wait were better
adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their parents and
teachers), and scored an average of 210 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude
Test. Read the American Psychological Association (APA) article, "Delaying
Gratification."
Reflect on the information in the NAEYC article, the article, and your text and
explain how toddlers with better self-regulation skills are less likely to demonstrate
behavior problems in preschool. Explain why these self-regulation skills are so
important and how you will promote the learning of self-regulation. How will you
deliberately teach self-regulation as part of everyday experience? Share an example
of your own self-regulation skills that you can model for others.
