Final Blog For Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field

Throughout this course, Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field, I have become aware of various consequences about the international early childhood field that have contributed to my personal and professional development.  First, I feel compelled to collaborate with other early childhood professionals to advocate for children and their families who are being affected by various issues that affect the development of children during early development.  Second, I feel grateful that I reside in the United States of America even through we still have much work ahead of us to address the issues of inequities in field of early childhood development.  Many countries that I have researched throughout this course are struggling to deal with higher levels of poverty and inequities that they are nowhere near addressing early childhood development.  Third, I feel compelled to save money and travel to another country as an attempt to provide quality learning experiences to a few children and their families.  Maximizing a few children’s learning experiences is better than none.  Hence, the reason I strongly believe that we as early childhood professionals can change children’s quality of life one at a time.
