in his mouth. His 2-year-old cousin, 2 aunts, grandfather, mother and two other children were also at home. After saying hello to everyone, I went into the bedroom to speak to Wyatt’s mom. Wyatt followed me into the bedroom. He walked over to his toy chest and took cars out. He placed one in his mouth. His mom took the car out of his mom and said: “ Wyatt what sound does the car make?” Wyatt looked up at his mother with a smile on his face. She repeated the question to Wyatt and this time he…

She pulls almost all the toys out onto the kitchen floor so she and Tigger can play. It’s really a challenge to keep them picked up. I put one toy into her basket and she comes along behind me and pulls it back out. The two also love to carry the toys outdoors so, it’s a constant battle to get them back inside. Lexi loves to jump up and pull the toys out of my hands as I carry them into the house. I really am mad at whoever taught Lexi…

floor toy, and wall posters of infant’s faces eating food. The carpeted play area contained rocking chairs, a white L shaped shelf with soft plastic toys, and a floor to ceiling window providing an unobscured view of the playground.…

the energy that achieves use to self function. Toys eventually use this zero point energy to function and behave similar to humans. Toy Story 1 and 2 take place in 1998 and 1999. Toys receive another source of energy with the attention and love from their owners. Andy’s delinquent neighbor, Sid, neglects his toys and we see that his toys are essentially lifeless. Jessie the toy cowgirl resents her owner for abandoning her. We start to see that the toys resent humans for their vulgar nature and…

“Mom can we get a dog” I asked real desperate. “Ask your dad” but I could tell that she wanted to say yes. Finally I got the courage to ask my dad. “Dad can we get a dog” I asked real scared. “No but we can get a bird.” “but I don’t want a bird” I said. “Birds are boring all they do is chirp”. Then there was silence. A few months later… I asked again. “ Dad can we get a dog” “No” replied my dad. “Please daddy” I begged after an hour there was a sudden silence. I…

Bam! This was the day which will cause me to listen to people more. The day I busted my head open was when I was eleven on a Monday morning right before me and my brother went to school, which started at 8:10 a.m. This morning was supposed to be a let’s-have-fun kind of morning. In the morning I woke up at six thirty to get ready for school; thinking about how the day would consist of learning, eating, and recess, and I went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Hence, I chose to eat frosted flakes…

During most of my collegiate career, several professors have stated that gender roles are determined prior to the birthing process. As soon as the sex of the baby is discovered, the mother would begin purchasing nursery decorations, clothing, and toys based solely on color: blue for boys and pink for girls. I would even go on further to state that gender roles are determined before conception actually begins. According to Judith Lorber’s article, “The Social Construction of Gender”, “gender is…

My second elective practicum is at Novata Cares assessing children for Autism and other neurological problems. I was testing this 6-year-old child using the WISC-IV. There was a question that asked him, “What is courage,” for which he replied “that’s being brave like me I’m a boy.” His answer did not shock me as I would have expected. It is a common thing for us (society) to tell boys to be brave or not to cry because that’s a girl thing. This 6-year-old child has already learned that courage…

proved that children are taught aggression by observing someone else’s behavior. Children’s behavior can be predicted by parent’s past experiences. Here is an example, I watched in a video; when parents have a child they go for the gender stereotyped toy. Say for example you have a daughter you are going to buy her a pink cuddly baby doll, but your son would never be aloud to play with it, he would play with cars, trains,…

What’s so Wrong with a Boy In a Dress? Welcome to your life – is it pink or blue? So what did you choose? Unfortunately, in this world, you can’t choose what gender you are or even what gender you identify with. All over the world people are shunned, kicked out and attacked for not meeting society’s expectations for their gender.
