What does Dr. Tom Wiesner state is most important for a child's development? Why does he consider this the issue to focus on? Dr. Wiesner addresses W.E.I.R.D research in his TedTalk. What is helpful or not so helpful about this type of research? What can be done to address the downside of this type of research? Back in chapter one, we looked at Urie Brofenbrenner's ecological model. Thinking about this model and some of the things that Dr. Wiesner said, how does the child's exosystem, mesosystem, and microsystem impact their development? What can parents and community leaders do to positively impact a child's development within these three systems? How does early childhood education fit in to this idea of positively impacting a child's development, especially for those children in lower income areas? Given the readings that you have done this week and taking into account your own personal experiences, what do you think is most important to help children develop? Do you agree with Dr. Wiesner? Why or why not
