SUGGESTED PROBLEMS AND EXPERIENCES


 Problems
How can we develop a gen-
uine interest in children?










What are the physical needs
of the small child and how
can I help him meet these
needs?


 Experiences
Relate stories about ones own
childhood and about other small
children pointing out amusing
and interesting incidents and
show how these enable one to
understand children better.
Select some small child from
own family or from family of
neighbor or acquaintances for
direct observation while child
development is being studied.

Discuss and list the physical
needs of the pre-school child to
determine what particular be-
havior is to be observed in re-
lation to the selected child's
needs.
Organized committees report on
the following:
1. Foods essential for a good
 diet of the pre-school child.
2. Conditions which make meal
 time pleasant.
3. How to introduce new foods
 into the diet of a pre-school
 child.
4. The factors which influence
 the choices a child makes in
 food.
Use information obtained to ob-
serve selected child, and report
findings to class. Plan ways to
improve one food practice ob-
served, and if possible assist the
mother of the child in carrying
out these suggestions.
