During the early 1930’s, economic instability created public fear of financial collapse. After a number of unstable banks went out of business, fearful customers of other banks rushed to withdraw their savings. Since most banks do not hold large amounts of cash in reserve and instead invest the money through loans such as home mortgages or bonds, they did not have enough cash on hand to meet the withdrawal demand. Consequently, many otherwise solvent banks went bankrupt in a matter of days, even hours. Their customers had created the very calamity they feared would happen.…

The complexity of trauma can bring a wide range of emotional, guilty, shame, physical health and mental development. Our attachment starts from parents, grandparents or other authority figures that we deem important growing up (NCTSN, 2018). However, it’s equally important during these early stages of development is when children learn to trust others, regulate their emotions, and interact with the world; they develop a sense of the world as safe or unsafe, and come to understand their own value as individuals (NCTSN, 2018). When those relationships are unstable or unpredictable, children learn that they cannot rely on others to help them (NCTSN, 2018). Our ability to develop healthy, supportive relationships with friends and…

This exposure led me to see how different factors such as language, divorce, single parent households, economics, sex role of primary caregivers, immigration, etc., could affect how a child would interact with his or her peers and teachers. I’ve become interested in studying how these factors can affect a child’s family and social life, aggression, and resilience. If I worked with children then I would want to focus on alleviating stressful factors that would impact their ability to interact with others, which might prevent future problems as an adolescent or…
A recent study on social and emotional risk and protective factors that predict early school problems or success found that "children who do not begin kindergarten socially and emotionally competent are often not successful in the early years of school—and can be plagued by behavioral, emotional, academic, and social development problems that follow them into adulthood (U.S Department of Health and Human Services). " Creating a positive social relationship is an important outcome of preschool, possibly more important is avoiding social isolation. Research shows that it is possible to predict as early as preschool the kind of children who will have social and academic problems, because they are already either overlooked or casted off by other children. To develop positive social relationships it is important to build relationships with parents so that children feel safe, secure, and comfortable with their teachers. Provide opportunities for children to work and play together.…
How language and literacy develops has long been a matter of theoretical debate, where numerous academics have been unable to decide on a single theory which can explain the most effective method of learning which can have the greatest effect on the cognitive development of an individual. B.F. Skinner’s (1957) theory of behaviourism and Lev Vygotsky’s (1978) Social Interactionist theory are two such learning models, each with their own distinct differences and implications when applied within an early childhood setting. This essay will focus on comparing these two theories through an analysis of each method’s key characteristics, comparable features and their educational implications within a teaching environment. This discussion will be utilised…
