One of the best things about being a father is taking on tasks with your children. Imagine a son and a father are wanting to start a remodel project and the son doesn’t know how to run some of the tools.

This makes it really difficult for some who may find the hands on learning that shop classes offer very helpful. Beliefs have changed; everyone…

Slow going is the friendship, although, moved along, she did all the talking, I have never seen her in a class or at lunch, only on the playground. However, this companionship on the playground was brief, after I showed her a…

Then I would evaluate the crime scene conditions. Since this crime scene is outside, I would evaluate the available light and weather conditions and I would adjust the camera setting to the appropriately. No single camera setting will work…

Children develop at different times and no two children will reach the same milestones. The zone of proximal development was introduced by Vygotsky in his sociocultural theory. This theory based on the distance between the knowledge the child currently has, and the knowledge that the child can achieve with the assistance of an adult. In other words, what the child is capable of doing on their own, as compared what they can achieve with the help of an adult. Children are not all at the same Zone…

Cahill calls this ceremonial routine and I feel that it is one of the most important things that came out of childhood socialization. If a…
