Creating Good Children Documentary Analysis

Improved Essays
y initial thought to your question is similar to Julie’s. In order to recognize the lies, it is essential that we first know truth. We need to know what the lies are and what God’s truth is. The other thought I have, which is not fully developed, is the idea that religion and spiritual formation is often equated with morality for young child. Children’s ministries can tend to focus on creating “good children” instead of “godly children.” In order to help children to recognize their sin and brokenness, ministries need to help children understand sin in a way that goes beyond morality. Creating “good children” focuses on what a child is doing, but creating “godly children” focuses on who the child is in Christ. I think if children understand

Surrendered: The Story of Jay Harding (2013) for its blatant depiction of modern day families lying to their children about a fat omnipotent/ omnipresent/omniscient Caucasian man who apparently usurps Jesus every year and gives the children of the world everything they need.

    Morality in children is not something they understand on their own. It is firmly set on how adults react to certain situations and whether the adult praises the child or reacts in an angry way.

They begin to learn what makes adults unhappy and learn what adults say is wrong to do but may not avoid doing these things if they believe they will not be…

    From my current placement I have experience of working with a child going through this transition, this had a very big effect on the child holistically. It became obvious to me that the child was very worried and unsettled about this transition as we noticed a negative change in the child's behaviour as he started becoming aggressive to other children and started a tendency to play alone and withdraw himself from the class. There was also a significant decrease in his school work performance as he was very withdrawn and found it difficult to communicate with the other children and sometimes staff. Working within the multi-agency team we introduced this child to an advocate which acted as a professional friend and from this we saw a slight improvement in the child's holistic development and behaviour. When working within the school team, we were part of the multi-agency team who contributed to…

    I agree with Michael that the “Poor Kids” documentary was tough to watch. Seeing the different types of impoverished living situations that people in the documentary were in was both humbling and frustrating. It was humbling in the sense that it gave me a far greater appreciation for the basic amenities and gifts that I was afforded during my childhood. I never even came remotely close to having my family struggle to survive, and for that I’m forever grateful. The documentary is especially frustrating because its subjects are right here in the United States.…

    There are several ethical issues in the scenario of Maria the student intern and the testing of the little girl believed to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. These ethical issues are as follows: • The best Interests of the Client - Maria's made a choice to use the intelligence test on the child knowing that the child can speak English but only as a second language. Therefore this was not in the best interest of the client as it would not allow the child to understand the test to answer accurately and equally important would be if she did understand the question but her answer was not how she felt due to losing something in translation. o…

    Children literature includes books, magazines, stories and poems that children enjoy. It can be traced to stories and songs which were part of the oral tradition that adults shared with their children before the advent of publication. The development of children literature is difficult to trace. However, from the 15th century AD, a large volume of literature, often with a religious or moral message, has been targeted specifically at children. Many of the children books acknowledged today as classics can trace their origins to the late 19th and early 20th centuries which become known as the Golden Age of children literature.…
