International Research

I looked at the website for austrailia. http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/ I found that many of the topics that are important to them are also relevant in the United States. some of the topics include; breastfeeding, childcare ratings, diversity among children, inclusion of children, and many more. I saw that the national quality standards were a big issue on this site. They seem to take the "accredidation" process very seriously there. It was good to see that we are not the only country that is focused in on the inclusion process of children. This is one thing that I believe will make or break a child in their school careers. Children need to feel included no matter their state. I also noticed that child health and obesity is another big topic in their country. This means to me that we as a human race need to stop and look at what we are feeding our children and how much we are denying them the abilities to actively play. This is something that i would like to look closer into and possibly try to find a way to helop parents understand that this is not ok and that our children are going to suffer in the long run.
