5. The Infant years (Birth to 12 Months Old)
Identify specific health and safety considerations that you will have to consider during
the infant years. How will you address these issues?
Example:
Hand washing
Proper hand washing is essential to keeping infants healthy as their immune system is low. “Hand
washing is the most important health practice that parents /educators and children must implement
to reduce the spread of infections.” (Pimento, Page 129) This was seen when my baby had many colds
and ear infections within the first year. Although it is common for infants to catch colds and
infections, I need to use proper hand washing.
Now add your next point….
Breast vs. bottle feeding
From the beginning the only thing that infants can do to feed is sucking. The most completed
nutrition that an infant can have is breast milk. “breastfeeding promote mother and baby attachment,
which increase baby’s cognitive, social and emotional development but there are many mother who
breast-feed and need support in making transition from home to work”(Pimento, page 221). It could
solve with bottle of breast feed that give it to care giver every morning or choosing a care giver close to
the place mother work.
Immunization
Vaccination is one of the most important elements to prevent rare disease in that start in infancy.
“Scheduled immunization will provide basic protection for most children against certain common
diseases”. (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hl-vs/babies-bebes/immun/index-eng.php) immunization reduce
the risk of involving in any serious illness
SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)
There is a risk to infant mostly under age of six month that dies by SIDS. “SIDS occurs most often,
though not always, during sleep. This may be overnight in the crib, but it could be during a nap at
any time of day.” (http://www.babycenter.ca/baby/health/cotdeath/#4). There is still no answer for
cause of death.
Car Safety
Car crashes are one of the most common causes of death and also brain damage in many children but
to reduce the number of damage in infant there are some guidelines. “Infant car seats should face the
back of the vehicle, rest at a 45-degree angle and move no more than 2.5 cm (1 in.) where the seatbelt
or Universal Anchorage System (UAS) strap is routed through the child car seat ”
(http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/carseat/choose.shtml#infants).
Toys safety
Infant learn to play between zero to three month old so appropriate and safe toys can let them explore.
Because most infant toys are “mouth then toys should be clean and sanitize daily in order to
precaution that remove germs” (Pimento, page 124). That can help to reduces sickness in infants.

6. The Toddler Years (2 Years Old)
Have there been any environmental events that you think might have influenced your
child’s development?Does this create any health or safety concerns for your toddler?
Toys safety
Toddler mostly plays with mouthy toys so the toys should be bigger and also should not have any
sharp spot on it. Also should put “Small toys, balls or loose or broken toy parts are choking hazards.
Keep them out of reach” to prevent accidents (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pubs/cons/toy_safe-
jouet_secur-eng.php).
Nutrition
Nutrition is a most important fact that helps children’s developmental process.” Between birth and age
three, children grow and develop at a tremendous rate. Proper nutrition helps fuel this process.
Children learn many important lessons about healthy eating during their early months and years of
life.” (http://www.healthyalberta.com/HealthyEating/529.htm.) so parents have to provide healthy
food for toddlers.
Immunization
Immunization should be continued to immunize the child from different type of sickness and
diseases.” Immunization schedules and vaccine information help you make decisions about your
child's health.”
(http://babyparenting.about.com/od/immunizations/Keeping_Immunizations_Current.htm.)
Car Safety
Toddler still needs to use car seat but the difference is “To install a forward-facing car seat, fasten the
tether strap, then use your body weight to tighten and fasten the seatbelt or Universal Anchorage
System (UAS) strap.” (http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/carseat/choose.shtml#infants)
Hand Washing
The most important thing to prevent infection is hand washing specially in toddler that mostly have
their hands in mouth or touch a toy and then put it on. “Hand washing is one of the most important
practices to reduce germ” (Pimento, page 113.)

7. Millstone development of my virtual child
“in pre-school and school age "
I think Ali is going to develop his physical milestone even
though the report said he is behind his age but there are the aspect in him according to
report" The examiner commented that Ali was able to concentrate on activities for 10-15
minutes, which was age-appropriate. Ali was coming along fine, but she still recommended
trying to engage Ali's attention in something really interesting for longer and longer periods
of time, to gradually build up his tolerance for preschool-type activities"
(http://www.myvirtualchild.com/raise.html.) As result Ali can effort the time he needs to
play but if I consider more effective moments with him he would approach the millstone.
Ali is emotionally attach to me and my partner and as the report said but he has " fairly
aggressive with the other children. The examiner recommended setting firmer guidelines
for behaviour at home, giving Ali practice at expressing" so Ali needs some calm activities
to reduce the aggressive behaviour or even sometimes use the time out to eliminate the
feeling. According to the book Ages and Stages is natural for toddler to be a little
aggressive so f Ali can reduce by practicing to be calm. Ali's intellectual skill is going a
little behind pattern of millstone development because when the examiner test Ali so she
found that " Ali scored at about the 12-15 month old range in terms of communication skill,
language comprehension, and language production. The examiner recommended that you
spend more time talking with Ali, even if his replies are short or hard to understand. She
also recommended asking questions that require some kind of extended answer (rather than
just "yes" or "no"), and looking at and naming things in picture books,

8. etc."(http://www.myvirtualchild.com/raise.html).but according to the booklet Ages and
Stages children should speak 2 or 3 complete sentences but it still can solve by talking with
him and read more book.
