Context Template

Order Description

A context template based on the “Irreducible Needs of Children” by Brazelton and Greenspan (2000) must be completed for the ****Middle Childhood (Unit 5) ONLY!****
The purpose of this assignment is to provide options for you to see how children’s needs may be met in a variety of ways in the “real world.” A copy of the template and information on each of the needs can be found linked above and below the “Irreducible Needs of Children” information.

T. Berry Brazelton and Stanley Greenspan (2000) propose six irreducible needs that are common to all children, in all cultures, and in all living situations.
1. The need for ongoing nurturing relationships;
2. The need for physical protection, safety and regulation;
3. The need for experiences tailored to individual differences;
4. The need for developmentally appropriate experience;
5. The need for limit setting, structure, and expectations; and
6. The need for stable, supportive communities and cultural continuity

The authors use the term “irreducible” to suggest that these needs are fundamental, and cannot be minimized, In fact, each of these need statements expresses part of a holistic developmental context and they are inter-related and intertwined. Each of these “irreducible needs” is distilled from research literature on early childhood development.

For the context template assignment for HD 340 you will be asked to look at each of these six needs and then suggest ways in everyday life that children might have these needs met. For further examples and a more comprehensive understanding of the irreducible needs, please refer to Brazelton and Greenspan’s book.

1. The need for ongoing nurturing relationships — Children need to experience, everyday, interactions with people, important adults, that are warm, sensitive, responsive, and genuine. They need to listen to calm voices, exchange gestures, communicate with others, be given clear, calm guidance about self-regulation (e.g., what to do with their bodies), language, feelings, and ideas. Key words or concepts for understanding this need are: emotional tone, reciprocal interactions, regulation and protection from over/under stimulation, managing biological changes and rhythms, balance, and intimate interactions. “Emotions are actually the internal architects, conductors, or organizers of our minds. They tell us how and what to think, what to say and when to say it, and what to do. We “know” things through our emotional interactions and then apply that knowledge to https://lms.wsu.edu/section/default.asp?id=2014%2Dfall%2DONLIN%2DH%5FD%2D340%2D5857%2DLEC 1/4
