Unfortunately, I never received feed back from any of the International contacts that I emailed. Thank you Dr. Klein for the alternatives websites and podcast.


                                                      Three Consequences


*One consequence would be the affect poverty have on children, not just here in America but all around the world. China, and Africa are two other countries that have issues with poverty and lack of heath care. When we think of Issues and Trends in the early childhood area, we think about what is going on right here at home. Never does it cross our minds that children/families in other countries are suffering from the same issues that Americans are suffering from also. Poverty is a Worldwide issue and not just one nation issue. We must join toughener to end this epidemic.

*It was not until I entered Walden University and enrolled in Early Child Development field; were I have been introduced to many issues and trends that affect the lives of many families across the country.You don't really understand what children/families endure until you read, research and gain knowledge of the issues that come a long with being a early childhood educator. One thing that I have learned in this field is to never judge people, for we never know how their lives are outside of the center. It is very important to treat people according to the way you want to be treated. We must take off our blind folds to children and families who do not share the same cultural as ourselves. We all are unique and have something to give and take from other nationalities. In this field, we as educators must always make sure we stay as professional and productive as possible. Children and families should always be able to look up to us and not look down on us; for we play a very crucial role in their lives.

*Health care is a another major concern with children and families around the world. If children are not able to be provided with the proper healthcare; which can cause lack of immunizations than we are looking for   nonproductive children in the future to come or more children dying from lack of proper health care. We must advocate to politicians for the well-fare of all children around the globe.


                                                              Goal 


We as early childhood educator's maybe in different parts of the country, but share many related issues and trends in the early childhood field. It is good to know what is going on in other parts of the world pertaining to issues and trends in the early childhood field. My goal is to continue to reach out to other's in different parts of the country to relate, understand, and collaborate in  hopes of making a difference to help change policies, and procedures that affect the lives of children in other countries as well as my own country.
