    Delroy Paulhus says, “‘There are stereotypes out there about birth order, and very often those stereotypes are spot-on’” (qtd. in Kluger 405). It seems that to this day and age that there is a great deal of talk regarding the order that we were born in. Jeffrey Kluger suggests in his article, “The Power of Birth Order” that birth order matters. Since evidence shows that firstborns are more intelligent, the differences between earlier and later-borns, and that younger siblings’ like taking risks is why I agree with what Kluger has to say regarding the birth order.…

    The three types of gene environment correlations are passive correlation, evocative correlation, and active correlation. Passive correlation occurs when a young child does not have control over the environments that fit his/her genetics. The parents of the child usually expose the child to experiences and environments based on the parents’ genes. For example, I have three friends who are all siblings whose parents are both musically inclined. Their parents taught the three of them how to play various instruments and their whole family all play and sing together at church and at home.…

    Little league pitchers are too young for certain workouts. For example lifting weights may not be safe, but Dr. Preston, Dr. House, and Dr. Vangsness hypothesis that weightlifting is not the direct issue of shoulder and elbow injuries. In their article, the three doctors believe the joint integrity training is the cause (Preston, House, and Vangsness 3). Since the joints of little league pitchers are not completely developed, joint integrity training damages the joints instead of strengthening them.

    All parents believe putting their child or children into sports is a good idea but they do not realize the down fall of it. Some parents believe they should push for their child to play sports, however they do not realize the pressure and stress they are putting on the child.

Parents that make sports a priority in a child's life do not understand the stress it causes to the child.

    Dear Ms.Menard, I have always loved to read and write my passion from writing came from my love of books. My books had always sparked ideas in my head for my own stories. Writing has always been one of my favorite things to do, story ideas always seem to come to my mind, though I do still get stuck sometimes. When I get stuck I like to take a breather and read or go outside or do something that I get inspiration from. As for my trustworthiness there is not really a way that I prove that I am trustworthy to you on paper and we are supposed to be completely honest so I am not going to say that I have turned in every single homework assignment on time and that I have never lost anything that was important but I will say this, when I have a goal…

Any significant differences between parent-child IQ correlations for adopted and natural children were attributed to genes. Trans-racial adoption participants who were African American children adopted by middleclass White…
