Topic 1
Write a 350-400 word response.
1. In his most recent writings Bronfenbrenner expresses concerns about the level of chaos and instability that
seems to be common in the lives of many children today (for example, as a result of high divorce rates,
stressed parents working long hours, a bombardment of media influences, a confused values system). He
argued that this level of chaos interferes with helpful proximal processes and hence optimal child outcomes.
1) Do you agree or disagree with Bronfenbrenner’s ideas? Explain your answer.
2) Explain how contemporary life may have negative and/ or positive effects on proximal
processes and outcomes for children.
Topic response: The case study has presented by Bronfenbrenner on children in recent time period explains
that there is high level of chaos and instability that seem to be rising, due to changes in lifestyle within
contemporary life parameters. Children also face difficulty, with changes in living standards variedly for
extending significant rise towards child facilities. It has been agreed that as result of high divorce rates,
stressed parents working long hours and high usage of media influences there is negligence in care among
children livelihood. The contemporary lifestyle brings on negative rise based on confused value systems,
which hinders efficiency in child development and belief within strong thinking criteria parameters.
Children face challenges due to high divorce rates among parents, which psychology impacts on their
development variedly towards extensive functional parameters within their studies also (Matwiejczyk,
Mehta and Coveney, 2021).With rapid rise of internet and media influences, confused value systems
children often feel difficult to engage with school mates effectively which hinders positive development. It

has been also commonly found that children in today time period, often feel agitated and irritated and also
less socially associated among friends which further increases stress factor variedly. Parents improper
livelihood habits, has strong decline and impact towards children psychology development which further
extensively impacts on keen productive engagement variedly (Soni and Soni, 2021).
Contemporary life has been found to bring on negative effect on proximal processes and outcomes
for children, which may further impact on larger scale work efficiency and development among children.
The contemporary life has negative impact as proximal processes and outcomes of children are declined
often, which further hinders efficiency among child psychology development. With excess usage of internet
and digital platforms, online games and distance in family children feel departed for further development
within their lives. It has been also found that contemporary life development decreases childhood happiness,
morale to engage in outdoor games which extensively impacts on understandings. Parents should be
attentive towards family and children needs, with changing pace of time and engage in personal learnings
for dynamic competitive outlook growth variedly.
Contemporary life changes in children must be learnt, developed and monitored by families with
proper formal guidance which further strengthens outlook variedly on various grounds. There should be also
counselling done among children, to engage them in new activities and creative recreational sessions for
making them confident towards studies and overall productive growth in lives. Media influences often has
negative impact on children, where they should be kept away from engaging and usage of social media
platforms (Reeves and et.al, 2021).

Topic 2
Consider the following and write a 350-400 word response.
Each of the research methods explored in Chapter 2, (longitudinal, ethnographic, collaborative, and research
with involving children) has benefits and disadvantages.
1) Choose one type of research and write a list of pros and cons for the chosen approach.
2) Briefly explain how different research approaches (2 or more) can be combined in the one study to
provide complimentary information.
Topic response: Ethnographic research method explains qualitative methodology where researcher heads on
profound focus towards building interactions with real life environment, for bringing wide range of social
sciences growth (RossiterRD and et.al, 2021). Research involving children, has to be further optimised
where ethnographic research method will practically enhance competencies on varied aspects for larger
technical efficacy on the report. Ethnographic research has been found to be also very effective for attaining

research results oriented in proper structured format, based on analysis parameters correlating to significant
livelihood changes within contemporary world. By using the research, it can be also analysed that findings
can be better understood in case for children, for stringent effective understandings and untapped longer
term growth benchmarks diversely where children needs to be prioritized diversely.
Pron and cons of this research approach can be analysed as follows
 Prons: It helps to gain information about other cultures through work of ethnographers, where
interaction further enhances abilities and understanding based on tradition, norms engagement and
also to further attain proper functional rise diversely. Ethnographic research is also practically highly
advanced and competitive, for gaining information and data as per methodology analysis which
further strengthens research results (Kashef and et.al, 2021).
 Cons: The qualitative aspect of research approach may not be detailed and accurate, which may
hinder productive results aspects on varied grounds which further extensively will potentially hamper
functional goals. It is difficult to gain information segregated and synchronised in proper formal
method, which may further reduce results obtained in proper format.
Combination of research approaches:
Longitudinal approach which depicts involvement and variable extended period of time framework,
where it signifies focus on specific period of weeks, months and even years for attaining proper response
(Yilmaz and Yildirim, 2021). It can be collaborated with ethnographic research by enhancing effective focus
on using best specifics fundamentally, for attaining complimentary information within research approach to
strengthen up channels imperatively. Ethnographic research, further adds to connective technical
competencies where it will build up quest to yield on towards attaining proper concise results in stable
format where company has been further enhancing functional reach profoundly on shape.
Collaborative research involving children is also variedly crucial, for attaining significant
determination and technically bringing on larger emphasis towards data correlated towards extensive
functional goals. Varied research approaches, practically brings on technical advancement rapidly which
further builds up accurate data development correlated to analysis based on children lifestyle and specific
preferences. Researcher is also able to get detailed examination evolved on significant topic, which further
adds towards larger specific frameworks for gaining in depth criteria worked on specifically for larger viable
data input (Cosson, Cook and Brady, 2021).

Topic 3
Provide an example for both a targeted and a universal intervention program to support parenting. Use a
table or diagram to compare and contrast the two types of programs. Note: It would be a good idea to
research programs that are local to your area. If you cannot find local programs – use any two Australian
programs
Topic response:

The intervention programs for supporting parenting holds high significance within recent time,
where main focus is built on towards expanding keen functional parameters rapidly for larger functional
growth goals dynamically. Targeted and universal intervention program has been further opening up scope
for company to bring on new extended growth standards diversely, which further opens up standards rise
diversely (Fathy Mohamed Mahran and et. al, 2021). It holds high essential role to significantly bring on
strengthened ideologies in shape, and expand key connective targets diversely for larger efficacy paradigms
innovatively.
 Parent work is free online program for Australian parents and caregivers within children from age 2
to 16 which heads on focus towards evidence based parenting strategies, to further improve parenting
skills and child behaviour. This further synchronizes specific strategies in various programs that are
tested along with practical engagement aspects, to strengthen up developed efficacy variedly for
strengthened framework of services (Samsudin and et.al, 20210.
 Family start is voluntary intensive home visiting programme in New Zealand that supports families
facing health and social challenges, for significantly enhancing children care goals. The impact
evaluation looked at impact of programme of children health, educational and social outcomes for
strengthening findings and to significantly engage on meaningful value oriented rise The family
work intervention program holds significant rise towards extended rapid growth factors, which
creates meaningful changes in children lives for larger strengthened accountability (Yoon and et.al.,
2021).
Comparison and contrast
Parent work- Australian intervention program Family start- New Zealand
 The program is digital which provide
parents and caregivers easy access
opportunity, for engaging with children for
fastened up services towards care in
children. Also the program significantly
heads on stringent rise towards determining
keen untapped working targets for larger
rise in child care programmes (Meib and
et.al, 2021).
 The family start program is based on New
Zealand, where children and family
engagement is headed to bring on children
care plan, where significant focus is evolved
towards adopting best programmes related
to health, education and social outcomes. It
has been optimally operating best value
perspectives in comparison to parent work
program, where main stress is built on
creating meaningful change in children
lives.
 The program offers less services and
creativity within intervention programme as
compared to family start, where initiatives
has to be further maximised effectively.
Furthermore, there is high scope to look on
towards expanding new communication
 Family start has been seeing promising
voluntary growth, and engagement among
children and families within intervention
programmes which has enhanced value and
expertise targets diversely. Also there is
high scale functional expertise associated

channels innovatively for attending towards
children specific need.
towards bringing keen untapped goals, and
investing on fresh new parameters (Smith
and Forrester, 2021).

Topic 4
Write a 350-400 word response.
You work in a child care centre that has an adjacent creek. The children are fascinated by the creek, and you
often talk to the children about the creek to educate them about nature. You use examples of the variations in
water level, discuss the plants and wildlife. Some children have asked if they can play in the creek.
1. List and justify three reasons why you would take children to the creek.
2. List and justify another three reasons for not taking children there.
Report Response: The three reasons for taking children to creek can be understood by analysis focusing on
aspects, where there will be variations in water level, discussion on plants and wildlife which further will
expand children knowledge about nature significantly.
Three reasons for taking children there:
 Children will better attain information regarding games to be played in nature, better absorb
knowledge and also experience new recreational aspects for harnessing new experiences. As there is
fascination among children, educating them about nature will primitively enhance functional efficacy
for practical engagement in nature and specific knowledge correlated towards children engagement
(Abujarad and et.al, 2021).
 By taking children to creek, there will be more significant evolvement with nature, where playing in
nature and activities correlated to nature bring on positivity and optimistic growth in lives. Child
care teachers will be able to further creatively enhance learning opportunities among children,
enhance their observational power regarding nature and also motivate them to generate imperative
understandings by further expanding practical engagement.
 Nature evolvement and discussion on plants and wildlife, will also bring children close to nature
practically, which will positively make them confident to further gain practical engagement among
friends and teachers. This aspect also holds high importance, with changing aspects for strengthened
rise diversely based on changing times preferences (Murray and et.al, 2021).
Three reasons for not taking children there:

 Child care centre teachers by taking children there, without taking permission form their parent’s
may bring risk on their life which may significantly hamper their safety standards variedly. Taking
child to creek may further bring on risk also to their lives, where it may also be not safe as it is near
to water and school premises do not hold authority for taking children without permission of parents.
The child care should be further heading on practical focus for enhancing functional reach practically
on wider arenas.
 Some notorious children may be widely at risk, by taking them to creek which may hamper safety
standards for child on longer run. It will be on risk based on accountability within school authorities
where they need to take precise permission from family and parents, before taking them to creek.
The decision should be well-presented and taken decision from parents of children, which will be
precise step for leveraging significant rise diversely.
 Also, it can be dangerous for student based upon their specific perceptions for taking them to creek
as child care centre teachers need to be precise regarding safety measures. If any misshapen takes
place, school authority may be responsible for negligence and also to hinder the safety measures
which further may be largely hampering the precautionary aspects variedly (Craig and Churchill,
2021).

Topic 5
Consider and respond to the following. 350-400 word response.
1. Why did the Commonwealth Government become involved in funding of children’s services?
2. How did these reasons affect the types of services provided to families and to children?
3. What are the processes by which policy translates into effects on individual children and families?
As you respond to this activity, try to frame your answer using Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems
theory.
Report Response:
1 The commonwealth government has widely become involved in funding of children’s services for
providing equal study opportunities within environment, where funds availability has generated fast
integration of knowledge among students. Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems theory focuses on
quality context of child environment, where it states rise on quality and context of child environment
with high interaction in academic environment. There is further strengthened rise on bringing best
academic progression where commonwealth government, by providing funding to children services has
been exceeding towards strengthened functional growth targets. Overall children services have been

rapidly improved, within recent time where commonwealth government has been variedly expanding
new measures related to funding (Watson and Wooden, 2021).
2 Australian commonwealth government, is responsible for providing schooling to all school age
children where major financial responsibility, has affected positively the services provided to families
and children variedly. The families and children, interaction has competitively enhanced new school
and academic engagement among students for strengthened better engagement parameters for higher
scaled up better studies (Shoesmith and et.al, 2021) Reasons while evaluating correlation with
Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems, enables us to gain significant knowledge on parameters where
significant focus is pertained to enhance higher work efficacy diversely. As per the system, reasons
effect varied types of services provided to family and care for strengthened functional growth
paradigms where creative policies and frameworks are highly crucial. There has to be effective
engagement optimized within recent techni8cal aspects, scenarios for attaining optimum productive
framework perspectives diversely for strengthened childcare services.
3 The processes by which policy translates into effects on individuals, children and families can be
understood to be highly crucial for gaining significant confident in performance rise among children.
Children and families in Australia for gaining effective policy framework worked on, need to
prioritize best policies engagement and hold high practical engagement as per the Bronfenbrenner’s
ecological systems theory focuses on the quality and context of the child's environment. This further
also technically brings on new productive rise for higher scale effective expansion strategically for
gaining best operatives worked on dynamically (Vandenbroeck, Van Lancker and Janssen, 20210.
