The Children's Collective Summary

Improved Essays
Currently I work for a program that servces preschool age children, named The Children’s Collective, for almost three years now. Prior to being employed by this company I worked with USC Preschool Program which allowed me to work closely with families that had children with special diets and behavioral plans that needed to be administered and follow on a day to day basis. As well as an advocate for children with Autism, working closely with Autism Speaks to raise money to spread awareness in the community that allows children on the spectrum to be accepted and understood.

    In the essay “Children Need to Play, not Compete”, Jessica Statsky writes about the importance of children being able to have fun playing a sport without the pressure of winning or losing (152-157). Playing sports can be a huge part of a child’s life, but parents and coaches need to remember that sports are here to keep a child busy and active. Children use sports to make friends not compete with each other to see who is better. When sport oriented parents and over controlling coaches try to have kids play at a professional level this causes children to lose interest (152, par. 1). With this being said the parents and coaches need to realize how they are taking the game to an unsafe and unsportsmanlike level.…

    The Documentary “When Kids Get Life” was very touching and personally made me tear up. I watched each young man share their stories. It was easy to sense they all were fighting inner demons. They speak with acceptances of the situation which is understandable due to the fact they can not change anything. One of the main people in the film, Erik had no chance at life.…

    “A Child Called It” Book Review For my review, I am focusing on a book called A Child Called It by David Pelzer. I chose this book because while I was reading it, it spoke to me on many levels and made me feel more content with my childhood growing up.

Through this review, we will be looking at where it took place, writing style, characters, and the plot of the story.…

    At varying degrees both productions include at least some racial or familial diversity beyond sexual diversity; however, unlike The Fosters, diversity is simply a veneer in The Kids Are All Right. Although moments of queerness are represented they largely appear at the surface. This places a cloak over the lived experiences of many queer families and turns away from addressing social issues and systemic oppressions. The Kids Are All Right’s effort to portray them as equals through the mundanity of a lesbian family; problematically, this is paralleled by the production’s ambivalent inclusion of diversity in that both are evident and unexplored. In this way, mere representation can justify the disregard for the broader context.…

    Over the years, children’s literature has established itself as a vital tool for the exploration, feeling and creativity ideals that both children and young adults depend upon. Children’s literature is a necessity to facilitate learning, assist in shaping reader’s minds, to stimulate their thought processes and is a reflection of social change. Historically, Australian picturebooks were not a readily available or utilised resource. Australian colonial children were also only exposed to British children’s books, which sheltered them from experiencing literature about their own history, nature and landscape.…

    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.…
