MAIN BODY
1: Why did you choose childcare as your course?
The reason behind choosing childcare as a main concern because children are the future
of the nation. According to me, it is crucial to mark the development of children in every aspect
for betterment of society and ultimately development of a nation. Aspects through which the
individual can focus on children development includes, educational development, development
of cognitive skills and motor skills, considering the rights of health, development of healthy
physical and mental state, guide the children towards their rights. Every child must have access
of better diet and nutritional food for their overall development (Brownlee & et. al., 2021).
2: Define culture in your perspective ? What you find unique about your culture? Write a cultural
practice you found in Australia?
It is important to make children aware regarding the different beliefs and cultures.
Knowledge about cultural diversity help children to develop understanding about different
perspectives within the world. One of the practice followed in my culture that I think is important
is to engage children in culturally responsive educational experience. It helps children to build
self-confidence and skills. Through educational experience they are able to learn, appreciate and
get aware of the diverse cultures and beliefs. Uniqueness about this is the children get aware and
start practising the beliefs and engage in cultural activities by itself. Under considering the
importance of studying cultural variations and their influence on children's life, AIFS (Australian
Institute of Family Studies) conducted a research program that involved parents and children
from three different groups that are, Vietnamese, Anglo-Australian, and African backgrounds.
Through this research the researchers able to examine the behaviour of children in coping up in
different settings, what and how cultural conflicts are negotiated, and the degree of cultural
sensitivity that impacts the child care regime (Cowie, 2018).
