Family

at 1:00 p.m., I met with a new family who seeking to be enrolled in CDR’s Early Head Start Program so that the mother can be her child’s best teacher and eventually transition the child to one of CDR’s Developmental Centers. Easha accompanied me during the home visit, because she will be the family’s EHS Family Consultant once I complete schooling. Not only was she able to become acclimated with the family, but she also provided me support while working with the family. The child who will be…

My first memories of realizing that my family was a part of Christianity was when I was around five or six years old. At the time my family was stationed in El Paso after my dad came back from being overseas. The church that my family attended was the church of God and Christ. We used to attend church every Sunday.

You don’t even go over it in your head, it’s just so normal just getting up and feeding the dogs, giving my older brother Richard his medication and making breakfast in the microwave. My dad who was taking his regular smoke outside, calls me and gives me news that would change my life. When someone imagines news that will change their life they picture something like, “oh we’re moving, say goodbye to your friends”.…

Wk5 Family Education Paper The Bible provides parents with instructions in the form of a command to “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Prov. 22:6 KJV). Some parents of this generation seem to take the low road when it comes to training up their children. They are sent to school with the expectation that the teachers are going to provide the disciplinary teaching that the children should be getting from their home, their parent or parents…

“Addiction is a family disease; one person may use but the whole family suffers.” (Shelly Lewis) Growing up in a family where both of your parents battle the disease of alcoholism is something no one should ever have to deal with. I’m eighteen years old and it is still hard for me to understand this disease and what it has done to destroy my family little by little over the years. This topic is something I struggle with every day, talking about it is something I struggle with too. I’m not asking…

strengthen my back muscles. Then I did some full body strength training workouts and ran on the manual treadmill at my house. I felt refreshed and ready for the day. I fixed my family breakfast. We had scrambled eggs mixed with potato wedges, pancakes, and sausage. It was a great experience to spend time with my family for a short moment before my father went to work and I had to go to school; while my sister and mom stayed home. When I got back home from school, I sat down in my char in the…

Siblings are an indicator of a family’s cooperation and children reflect their parents’ behavior. But family things are not always how we imagine they would be. Spending the most beautiful years of childhood and adolescence sometimes could be interrupted with many problems, and can leave us many bad memories we are forced to live with.…

number of families live happily together and have no conflicts. At least no major conflicts. They get along with each other just fine. On the other hand, there are also many families that are dysfunctional. All of the different families are dysfunctional in their own different ways and get into conflicts pretty much on a daily basis; in other words, they are not able to function as a family. One example of this sort of break down in families can be seen in the story “Forgiveness In Families.”…
