Child pyromaniac

Five weeks ago, I would not have classified my childhood as privileged by any means; however, my perspective on a privileged lifestyle has shifted drastically within the past couple of weeks. Growing up, my dad was never in the home: he has severe depression and bipolar disorder and was institutionalized for a majority of my childhood. Due to this complication, my parents divorced when I was twelve. When Dad was released, my siblings, Rhianna, Kenzy, Kaelen, and I would move back and forth every…

speech and interactions with the child (textbook, p 155). My video is found at the link attached: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2luLTiygQM. I will be evaluating this video from Vygotsky’s (and…

classroom rules and expectations. I will give the students a walking tour of the classroom. The children will see items such has computers, cabinets and supplies in the classroom. I will tell the students a little about myself; then I will ask each child to tell me something about themselves such as, what is their favorite color? I want the children to be excited about their first day of class and tell their parents or guardians great things such as, the friends they have made on the first day…

different approaches when dealing with children in group counseling. The three different approaches are Crisis, Problem, and Growth centered groups. In a Crisis-centered group, this deals with a child or a group of children that have a conflict with each other or a disagreement. Depending on the situation, the child or the group of children that are not on the same page with each other meet up to discuss how the situation…

information could be different from what I may have known discipline to be as a child to what is in my household and culture along with how it is viewed in my profession. For example, according to an article on Babble.com, Indian parents believe that, “childhood is viewed as a sensitive time period where children are moldable. Thus, the environment, especially the parents, are believed to play an important role in child development (Matze, 2016).” I agree with this belief system. As a…

Steele, & McGinley, year, p. #). Through direct observation and modeling the behaviors witnessed, the child learns to behave accordingly in society. Thus, the child who witnesses more warm and nurturing behavior will respond more “pro-socially to others’ needs.” This was confirmed in a research study performed by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care (NICHD SECC).

Not being able to afford high quality foods could also impact the child’s diet by not being able to provide proper nutrients that are necessary for the child to grow (Denny & Brownell, 2010, p.55). Limited access to libraries, museums, and other resources will also limit the children’s ability to expand their knowledge base (Denny & Brownell, 2010, p.55). Lastly, Lower provision of primary…

an agenda or plan at the expense of learning opportunities and the children’s interest in activities. Throughout the observation, the teachers showed flexibility in their activities with the children. For example, during a small group activity, a child showed interest in the Johnny Appleseed Pot. The teacher showed flexibility when she put the book down and let the children try on Johnny Appleseed’s hat. By looking for opportunities…

sustain through the school day contributing to student’s academic success. The government should mandate free meals just as school attendance is mandated in early childhood education programs. In Rapides Parish and guardians face legal action if a child is truant for continuing to arrive to class late or misses more than fourteen school days. If early childhood education is important to the government to the point that a parent’s freedom is used as leverage to ensure attendance, why wouldn’t all…

who are exposed to financial situations due to problems in the family. An example of this would be how children are sometimes asked to chip in when the family is struggling. The child is taken out of their childhood and put into the real world when they become aware of the burden on their families backs. This makes the child age faster than they need to in order to step up to the plate, showing that not all kids have the same definition of childhood. Childhood is a social construction, and there…
