Identify two activities, strategies, or techniques you will recommend to the parent to promote a smooth drop-off and support separation anxiety.
Scenario
You have been an infant/toddler teacher for the past 20 years, and you have noticed a big change — very young children are being exposed to the use of smartphones and tablets. You understand that while children do learn from media and touchscreens, it is easier for young children to learn from engaging, hands-on experiences.
At drop-off this morning, a parent enters your infant classroom holding their cell phone up to 3-month-old’s face so that he can watch a cartoon video. They mention this is the only effective way to calm the otherwise fussy baby when they hand the baby over to you and leaves for work each morning. You understand that it takes babies a lot of effort to watch screens and you have noticed that watching the screen on their cell phone makes the baby very tired. Since the baby is not yet old enough to turn their head away for a rest, you notice that baby becomes instantly distressed.
As the parent takes off the baby’s coat and hangs it in their cubby, you notice that the parent props up their cell phone so that the baby can continue to watch the cartoon videos on the screen. Suddenly, you notice a scary image appears across the screen during an advertisement. The imagery includes a monster and horrible faces, and you know that scary visual images can stay in a young child’s mind for a long time. This kind of imagery can pop up no matter what else is going on in the cartoon video or how lovable the characters are. Babies can be scared when a normal-looking character transforms into a frightening one, particularly if they see the character changing. Scary images or scenes can upset babies.
Directions
You have decided to plan a one-on-one parent-teacher conference with this parent to encourage them to avoid passive screen time as much as possible and consider engaging and interacting with their baby when incorporating technology throughout the day. For example, joining in by dancing and pointing to lyrics as the baby moves along to a dance video, or interacting with the baby while reading an eBook by asking questions, discussing pictures, etc.
In preparation for this meeting, you are going to write a 3-4 page reflection in APA format to gather your thoughts in one place regarding the ethical concerns discussed in the scenario.
Address the following items in your reflection:
- Ethical Concerns:
- What ethical concerns do you have regarding this scenario? Considering the Department of Education’s Guiding Principles for Use of Technology with Early Learners Guiding Principles, provide at least three examples.
- Do you believe allowing the baby to watch cartoon videos on the cell phone was a good idea or not? Explain your answer.
- Describe why you believe this situation might violate the guidelines? What do the Departments recommend in situations like this?
- What is your ECE program’s policy on developmentally appropriate technology use for children under three years of age?
- Consequences:
- Consider Guiding Principles #1-4 and how they help guide teachers’ and parents’ decisions in situations like this one. What are some potential negative consequences for the teacher, for the parent, and the child?
- Do you believe, as the teacher, you could get in trouble for this parent’s actions? Explain your answer.
- Could the parent get in trouble for this action? Explain your answer.
- Recommendations:
- What are some boundaries you might set regarding parent-child interactions during drop-off times?
- How will this result in a more positive outcome?
- If you were the parent in the scenario, what would you have done differently to soothe and calm the baby during drop-off?
- Identify two activities, strategies, or techniques you will recommend to the parent to promote a smooth drop-off and support separation anxiety.
Make sure to:
- Include an introduction and conclusion framing the scenario.
- Include APA citations to all sources used for this assignment, including a title page and reference page in APA format. Also include in text citations, if appropriate. You will need to cite at least three resources that were used to collect information for this assignment. You may use resources from the course lesson content or the Rasmussen library.
- All work should be formatted professionally and use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Explain what input, output, and outcome measures are in general.
A precinct commander instructs members of his or her command regarding the unit’s fiscal management strategies, goals, and objectives.
STEP 1: Imagine you are a precinct commander, and your Police Chief requests your help in submitting a budget request for 5 additional patrol officers in response to rising crime rates. Budget analysts will challenge the Chief’s budget request, so your task is to develop at least 3 input, 3 output, and 3 outcome measures to justify the request.
STEP 2: Write a 525- to 700-word proposal of performance measures related to funding the 5 officers that will support the budget request. Your measures must be a mix of input, output, and outcome measures and will help measure the success of adding the officers. Specific inputs should lead to specific outputs, resulting in desired outcomes.
For your proposal, be sure to:
- -Explain what input, output, and outcome measures are in general.
- -Include a minimum of 3 of each measure (Input, Output, Outcome).
- -Describe each measure in detail as it applies to your request for the additional 5 officers.
- -Identify how each measure relates to and supports the budget request for the additional 5 officers.
STEP 3: Cite at least 2 outside references to support your assignment.
STEP 4: Format your assignment according to APA guidelines to include, at a minimum, the APA cover page, Introduction, level headers/titles for each required assignment discussion point, Conclusion, and Reference page.
Step 5: Run the paper through Safe Assign and ensure that Similarity Index is under 22%; double-check that all grammar and spelling are correct.
STEP 6: Submit your assignment.

The Open Window
by Saki (H.H. Munro)
MY AUNT will be down presently, Mr Nuttel,’ said a self-possessed young lady of
fifteen. ‘In the meantime, you must put up with me.’
Framton Nuttel tried to make pleasant conversation while waiting for the Aunt.
Privately, he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on total strangers
would help the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing in this rural
retreat.
‘I’ll just give you letters to all the people I know there,’ his sister had said.
‘Otherwise you’ll bury yourself and not speak to a soul and your nerves will be worse
than ever from moping.’
‘Do you know many people around here?’ asked the niece.
‘Hardly a soul. My sister gave me letters of introduction to some people here.’
‘Then you know practically nothing about my Aunt?’ continued the self-possessed
young lady.
‘Only her name and address,’ admitted the caller.
‘Her great tragedy happened just three years ago,’ said the child.
‘Her tragedy?’ asked Framton. Somehow, in this restful spot, tragedies seemed
out of place.
‘You may wonder why we keep that window open so late in the year,’ said the
niece, indicating a large French window that opened on a lawn. ‘Out through that
window, three years ago to a day, her husband and her two young brothers went off for
their day’s shooting. In crossing the moor, they were engulfed in a treacherous bog.
Their bodies were never recovered.’
Here the child’s voice faltered. ‘Poor Aunt always thinks that they’ll come back
someday, they and the little brown spaniel that was lost with them, and walk in the
window. That is why it is kept open every evening till dusk. She has often told me how
they went out, her husband with his white waterproof coat over his arm. You know,
sometimes on still evenings like this I get a creepy feeling that they will all walk in
through that window —’
She broke off with a little shudder. It was a relief to Framton when the aunt
bustled into the room with a whirl of apologies for keeping him waiting.
‘I hope you don’t mind the open window,’ she said. ‘My husband and brothers will
be home directly from shooting and they always come in this way.’
She rattled on cheerfully about the prospects for duck shooting in the winter.
Framton made a desperate effort to turn the talk to a less ghastly topic, conscious that
his hostess was giving him only a fragment of her attention, and that her eyes were
constantly straying past him to the open window. It was certainly an unfortunate
coincidence that he should have paid his visit on this tragic anniversary.
‘The doctors ordered me a complete rest from mental excitement and physical
exercise,’ announced Framton, who imagined that everyone — even a complete
stranger — was interested in his illness.
‘Oh?’ said Mrs Sappleton, vaguely. Then she suddenly brightened into attention
— but not to what Framton was saying.
‘Here they are at last!’ she cried. ‘In time for tea, and muddy up to the eyes.’
Framton shivered slightly and turned towards the niece with a look intended to
convey sympathetic understanding. The child was staring through the open window
with dazed horror in her eyes. Framton swung round and looked in the same direction.
In the deepening twilight three figures were walking noiselessly across the lawn,
a tired brown spaniel close at their heels. They all carried guns, and one had a white
coat over his shoulders.
Framton grabbed his stick; the hall door and the gravel drive were dimly noted
stages in his headlong retreat.
‘Here we are, my dear,’ said the bearer of the white mackintosh. ‘Who was that
who bolted out as we came up?’
‘An extraordinary man, a Mr Nuttel,’ said Mrs Sappleton, ‘who could only talk
about his illness, and dashed off without a word of apology when you arrived. One
would think he had seen a ghost.’
‘I expect it was the spaniel,’ said the niece calmly. He told me he had a horror of
dogs. He was once hunted into a cemetery on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of
stray dogs and had to spend the night in a newly-dug grave with the creatures
snarling and foaming above him. Enough to make anyone lose his nerve.’
