cooperative played with only one particular child. So, for this assignment the question that asked, “What recommendations would you suggest to help this child move to the next level of play?” It was a little confusing for me because she is already cooperatively playing. The problem is that she refuses to play with anybody but A.M. Another thing that…

A few months ago, a peer of mine came to me with a simple question, “How are you so happy with your life?” I never really put much thought into it. I only shrugged and said, “I just am.” I’ve always been happy. Now, after putting some thought into it, I realized much, much more about my happiness with life.

By communicating with my fellow employees and supervisors I expanded my comprehension about different…

Typically in stories we see mothers painted in one of two lights, the first being the all American, doting, and loving mother, the second at times unfavorable or cold. Rarely does the reader get the see the character for both their good and bad in blatant truth.

In this story, we meet a mother of…

My classroom is one of two classrooms located in a child care center which is partnered with a Head Start program. My classroom consists of eight early childhood children, five girls and three boys who are eighteen to thirty-six months. The children all come from a Native American background in some capacity. The three boys enjoy blocks, trucks and dinosaurs. One boy with curly hair is just twenty months and has one or two words while the other two boys are approximately 30 months and are…

be far less feelings of entitlement among adolescent athletes. As Anthony Fuda said, a child does not “get an A in school because [he sits] near someone who gets an A. [He has] to study hard and earn that A” (“For Some, Participation Prizes”). Although being introduced to a more realistic situation that the best are rewarded might be heartbreaking for some young children, and the parents that believe their child belongs…
