Did you know that using the K-3 paradigm, which focuses on early childhood development and education, involves knowledge of various important factors? These factors include: a) the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a comprehensive guide used to diagnose and classify mental disorders, b) developmental expectations, understanding the typical milestones children should attain at specific ages, c) brain chemistry, understanding the neural processes and chemical reactions that occur in the brain during early childhood, and d) a child's family medical history, which can provide valuable insights into potential genetic or environmental factors affecting their development. By considering these factors, educators and professionals can gain a better understanding of a child's individual needs and provide targeted support for their growth and well-being.
