You have been learning about key areas of growth and development related to prosocial behaviors. Describe three ways that a preschool policy on compassionate treatment and care of animals that visit or live in classrooms would foster this growth and development in young children.
Based on what you have learned of your course text, explain the three foundational underpinnings that children need to develop in order to demonstrate prosocial behavior such as helping, sharing, and cooperating.
Imagine you are a preschool teacher giving a tour of your setting to parents and other family members. Write a brief script pointing out examples of the ways your physical setup fosters positive behavior and prevents disruptive behavior.
