early hood-child education.

A more challenging version of early childhood education which requires a very patient and empathetic care taker or teacher who can properly deal with the effects of the social issues and undesirable home life affecting young children from less fortunate circumstances in a severely negative way, usually manifested in the form of acting out, temper tantrums, screaming, biting, hitting and sometimes cussing. This term can refer to younger children of ANY race in ANY demographic to one degree or another as a result of a wide variety of negative family circumstances and/or negative upbringings, but does NOT include those children who may be mentally disabled. Here, the term "hood", in this context, merely refers to a rough neighborhood which has a higher percentage of broken, less fortunate families, and is NOT being used in a derogatory manner.

Gwyn is majoring in early childhood education, but sometimes feels like she is practicing early hood-child education. Especially when she needs to calmly deal with being bitten, scratched in the face or hit by certain children in daycare.
