Three Consequences Learning about International Early Childhood Field

They could help the families out by learning a couple of things from the international early childhood perspective. They could learn about particular programs that could be beneficial to the parents and children.

Goal related to International Awareness
One goal for the field related to international is to have children learn about other cultures. I feel that if students were to learn about other cultures, then they could put it to good use. They could learn how to be a little bit more grateful and caring in my opinion. I see a lot of children that are from the United States are very spoiled.  I know that they are spoiled from experience. For example, when I went off to medical school this past year, I learned that I am very spoiled living in the United States. I lived in the Caribbean for about a year and two months and I can say that I am more grateful now than I have ever been. I lived in a place where it stays warm all year round and not only is it hot, we didn’t have AC. Most of the apartments come with air condition but if you run it, the bill can get extremely high. The food is very costly as well and they don’t have many places that are like the U.S.
