It has been awhile since I did any assignment .So will try my best to get back or to recall all what I did in University years. Our lecturer is Mr.Franklin Morais. Yes he did mention about that he was not directly related the infamous Morais that we read in the newspaper, but a possible distance relation somewhere in their origin country in India. A very experience lecturer in psychologies. In psychologies we study on human mind and its function which will make us react to a certain behaviour and on certain conditions we will react differently.
Since this a course related to work and with the hope that a better understanding on basic behaviour a counsellor will be able to probe , understand and react on by applying the right approach to the counselee’s needs. We were advised that as a counsellor we should not forgo the Client Centre Counselling and Person Centred

) is another study of how children reacts and behave from what adult did. That reminded me of what happened a few days ago when my under 18 daughter was not allowed to watch “LOGAN” movie which is rated Under 18 SX. The findings from The BoBo dolls experiment probably has positively proven the adult actions does influence the mind and thought of young children. It make senses now why rating is done.
There are still a few interesting psychologies studies like the one from Erik Erikson on theory of psychosocial development. A studies on psychosocial development from an infant to late adulthood which is divided into 8 life-span stages. At each stage a person is exposed to all kinds of experience in life which will have impact in their personality at later stage of life. I guess good parenting at early childhood is critical.
So much for my reflection paper, appreciate your time to go through it. Will endeavour to improve my write up on the next few modules. Probably a better planning will help. Thank

    According to Mcleod S. (2015), Piaget was not in agreement with the idea that intelligence was a fixed process, due to biological maturation and interaction with the environment. According to Piaget, children are born with a very basic mental structure (genetically inherited and evolved) on which all subsequent learning and knowledge are based. His interest was not to measure children’s I.Q., but how well they could count, spell and solve problems. He was mostly interested in the fundamental concepts like the idea of number, time, quantity, causality, and justice.…

This course also taught me how to be more flexible. Having a full-time job working 40 or more hours a week plus school; it was hard and still is, but having flexibility when I become a Mental Health Counselor will help me because I must be flexible to meet the client needs so we can establish a client/counselor relationship and maintain that relationship.

    According to Erickson, there are eight life stages from infancy until late adulthood and each one is characterized by distinguished psychosocial events. In Erickson’s view development continues throughout the life span and a person needs to solve a crisis at each stage to attain a healthy personality. Furthermore, conflicting possibilities and outcomes characterize each crisis that needs to be solved. The first crisis, “trust versus mistrust”- birth to one year, is based on the reliability of care and affection the baby receives from the primary caregiver, while the next three crises, “autonomy versus shame”- one to three years, “initiative versus guilt”- three to six years, and “industry versus inferiority”- six to twelve years, rely on the ability of caretakers to support and encourage children to develop a sense of independence, social skills, and acquire culturally valued abilities. The four stages mentioned above constitute the groundwork for adult personality.…
