Review the information presented on pages 25-26 (including Point to Ponder 1.9). Using an example related to the care of infants or toddlers that you have read about or observed in the first four weeks of this course, explain what the terms transformative education and dialogue mean, as well as how these concepts relate to each other.

Differences between individuals' concepts of time, which are shaped by culture, can lead to conflicts. Review the information on time concepts presented on pages 38-39 of Diversity in Early Care and Education and then review the information on outcomes to cultural conflicts addressed on pages 54-56 of the text.

Describe one or more conflicts that may arise between an infant/toddler professional and a family member if the two individuals have different views on time.

Then, using this example, compare and contrast two or more of the five outcomes described on pages 54-56, and explain the advantage(s) of one outcome over the other.

On page 56 of Diversity in Early Care and Education, Janet Gonzalez-Mena refers to the challenge issued by the National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC) for infant/toddler professionals to move beyond dualistic thinking toward holistic thinking.

Using an example related to the care of infants or toddlers, explain what holistic thinking means and describe how it presents a better alternative for addressing the needs of everyone involved.
