...Childhood Should Be The Happiest Period In Our Life As kids, we tend lo learn what we see and hear. If kids see their older siblings doing something, regardless if it is bad or not, they will learn it and do the same things. Kids should be given a good education because our future depends on them. You gain what you give, and if you give your kid a good education and treat them well you will receive good result from them. The hard times that kids have in their childhood affect their character and their future as they grow up because sometimes they demonstrate the same towards their kids, live a very unhappy life, and can create hate towards those who are involved in them having hard times. Kids are just little people trying to learn their way towards what life is, and the process through their learning should be the best period of their lives. Fifth Initially, depending on the environment that you lived in, that is what you show in the future. Probably you live with parents who all they do is fight and they get you involved by also fighting with you or even punishing you, and not letting you go out or play. In some cases people like that, when they have their family they give all their loves to their kids and partner, but they could as well develop the same habits towards their kids and fight all the time with other couples. Hard Times, by Ron Rash, is a story about a hen’s eggs being stolen. Jacob was trying to find out who was taking them. They thought it was an animal or...

...As I walked into a classroom full of kids, I see a lot of activities going on. It looked organized and very clean. Each teacher had eight students. The bulletin board is where my eyes went to first. I think it’s a good idea to have a bulletin board, because it will make the class visually appealing to the students. On the left side of the classroom there was a Language Arts Center, where the teacher would read books to the kids, spell new words or help them make up words, and of course learn how to write. A good time to do this is early in the morning when the kids are awake and not tired, because their concentration is better than in the afternoon. It’s the time where the kids want to volunteer and express their ideas. Another section was labeled as the physical science, which it included oceans, astronomy, the earth, and hurricane. At this time the kids are going to learn about the planets, how the earth works and some of the important countries, and hurricanes and earthquakes and their causes. It will make it interesting for them so they will come up with questions and learn a lot from that. Than the section of history was labeled on the right. This will help kids learn about the different cultures, background, and where they come from. Around the wall were flags that represented each country the kids came from. I thought that was a really good idea because it helps kids understand that everyone is different in their own way, but in the end we are all people. Than as I looked...

...Why Enroll Your Kid In Preschool If you are a parent that works during the day, you will need someone to watch over your kid during the day. While you could use a caregiver that comes to your home, there are benefits to enrolling your child in preschool instead. Here are several reasons why you should do it. Improve Social Skills Part of going to school for a kid is giving them the opportunity to learn to play with other kids. Daycare is a wonderful opportunity where they can learn these skills prior to starting kindergarten. Your kid will be better at sharing, playing with other children, and communicating with kids their own age. This may not be an opportunity they get very often if they have been primarily staying at home with their...

...What would I like to learn about in this course and why are you interested in it? The first topic that I notice when I opened up my general psychology ninth edition in modules textbook by David Myers was States of Consciousness. I want to learn about this topic because I feel like everyone can master their mind and just become a better individual. I feel the first step of mastering the mind is to first learn how the mind works that’s why I signed up for this course so I can gain more knowledge of the inner workings of the consciousness and the sub- consciousness mind. Once you know how the sub- consciousness minds works and begin to learn how to train to work in your favor I believe the sky is the limit after that. I’ve listening to great motivational speakers on a daily basis such as Less brown, Anthony Robbins, Napoleon hill and Dale carnige. They all have one thing in common the say that the secret to true success and to be truly happy one must think! Nowadays people do the exact opposite from that because they are too busy or to distracted by mindless social media like instagram or twitter which does nothing for the individual instead of making them an internet and cell phone junkie that’s just my opinion. That’s just the tip of the iceberg I feel like it going to get way worse. I want to learn more about the sub- consciousness because they say that the sub- consciousness is a hundred times more stronger than the consciousness the .When people believe that their failures...

...------------------------------------------------- Homeschooling: good or not good ------------------------------------------------- Parents, teachers, academicians, educationists and researchers know and agree to the fact that children need to be taught/ educated in order to learn and impact knowledge and skills on them. For kids, this is not exclusively imparting knowledge on them but also taking care of their physical fitness, social welfare where they get to know how interact and live with one another harmoniously, emotional wellness, among other things. This process of schooling also constitutes upbringing; and it should be done in a an environment that is conducive for the children and where they can as well access social amenities essential for a healthy growth, both physical and mental. Children as they are immature in their thinking and way of reasoning; most of them still do not know what is good or bad and in most cases like trying things that are at times dangerous or considered bad behavior and unacceptable norms in the society they live in. This therefore calls for a close monitoring of their activities all the time, offering guidance to them, counseling them and showing them what is wrong and what is right. This also helps in preventing them from falling in danger or engaging in activities that risk their lives. Schooling can either be offered at home (homeschooling) done either by parents or tutors; or at educational institutions (schools) which is a formal setting of private or public learning...

...Is it good to let kids screw up? Summary In her article, Charity Curley Mathews lays out the essential question, “Is it good to let kids screw up?” In Mathews article, she talks about the impact of letting kids figure things out for themselves, and having the parent(s) help with positive coaching, rather than the parent stepping in and doing it all for them. A couple of different family related authors provide input behind why it is necessary to let children fail, so they can progress and succeed next time. Parents have to provide the framework, and let their children make their own moves so they can become more stable adults in the future. Otherwise they will not be as independent and as regarded towards standard social norms within society. According to co-author Christine Koh,"If kids don't have the space to experiment and periodically make mistakes, they'll never learn how to problem solve and cope on their own," therefore, they will have a harder time picking themselves up after falling. Concepts There are a few underlying concepts in Chapter 6, which apply to this article by Mathews. The first concept regards social control: which are techniques and strategies for preventing deviant human behaviors in any society. An example of social control would deal with the parent’s ability to coach their child on how to handle situations that they have already faced that did not go well for them previously. Informal Social Control: is how casual norms are enforced (such as...

...Socialization Socialization is the process in which an individual person learns the way of life of his/her society through things that have an influence on their decision making. As a lifelong process that occurs in every person’s stages in life starting from the day of birth, socialization takes place in many social settings such as family, school, peer groups, media, religion, and the workplace (Macionis 2011:70). Sociologists believe that most human behavior is a learned response and not instinctual. People have to learn to rely and cooperate with others to satisfy their basic needs. This is possible through behavioral patterns and a system of communication shared by members of a culture. Through the process of socialization, a human being is taught the necessary skills demanded for living in the society as well as internalize the norms and values of society (Macionis 2011:70). The individual will then be able to develop the sense of self. In addition, we will be aware of our place in society and develop a distinct entity apart from other people and things. In the film, “Consuming Kids,” children are constantly influenced by marketing techniques used in the media (Barbaro and Earp ). Young children are maturing much quicker than a decade ago. This is due to the advertisements in the media that translate to children becoming more aware of how other people think about them (Barbaro and Earp ). Children are being told to act a certain way within our society. A lot of media...

...you ever heard about the game Grand Theft Auto? This is by far my favorite video game to play I can sit in from of the television and play this game for hours. I started playing this game when it first came out. I was 14 then. I am 20 now, and I still can't get enough of it. This game isn't just a great game, but it's also a very violent one. Nowadays, parents don't want there kids playing games showing violent, dangerous, and nude scenes. I Game like this can teach a kids bad behavior, reduce creative learning, and cause them to neglect their childhood. We all know kids pick up what they see , hear, and learn. For example if you tell a kid to shut up ,then they will remember it and tell someone or even you the same thing. If you tell a kid, they beautiful they will remember they're beautiful. If you sit a child in front of a game where there is killing , cursing, and stealing, then they can pick up those traits. It is important to keep your children safe and a kid while they still can be. A violent video game won't help....

...face was teaching a group of kids that the school system process having an integrated school was a good thing in front of board members that had issues at that certain time in history. The school system did not look at how this integration with mixed cultures would affect everyone involved. This system would suddenly take them out of their own element and put them with mixed cultures that would drastically change their way of looking at life. This change would only drive the kids back future with no desire to learn or participate in continuing their education. Comparing this to the business world, you would look at Erin Gruwell would become a style of pathfinder practitioner for the inner city mixed culture teenagers (Brown, 2011 p 92). Erin Gruwell could see what potential each one of her students had and would fight the school system to help create a different approach and style for the kids to open their minds toward a positive life with a future. This is compared to big business or a corporation showing how starting out in a large environment how one can get lost like a child in a large school. Many may want to avoid taking chances or even give ideas because of stepping on someone’s toes in business or getting shot at from another child in school because of the way they looked at someone. Another issue facing Erin Gruwell was how administration would look at the students even though there was a program to help these kids. They would view the kids as a waste and this was concerned...

...Imagine you are a parent, your eight year old son come back from school with the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, he had been waiting for it for a week, until somebody finally returned it from the library. So you start reading it with him, you think that the book is fine, until your start seeing racist words, why does your eight year old child have this book in his hands, why is it within his reach? Book banning in schools has recently became a hot topic, some people think that some books should be censored or removed from schools. We do not want children reading books that have violence and swearing in them. Some books have violence and inappropriate content in them, others contain profanity and racism, a child's impressionable mind should not be exposed to stuff like that. Book banning should be allowed in schools to protect children from inappropriate content. Children's minds can be effected very easily, so why can they read books...

...move into the brain’s long-term memory, where it can be stored and recalled later. Multiple neurons in various regions of the brain need to fire simultaneously, repetitively, and strongly for information to be readily retrieved and used. Memory is a vital part of school learning. For this reason, the shift to student-centered learning is crucial. Activities such as rhyming and rhythm, physical movement, multi-modality input, hands-on lessons, discussion, participatory experiences, constructivism, emotional experiences, personal meaning, and relevance, must become an integral part of every teacher’s daily lessons. Following are established facts, understandings, and practices which teachers can use immediately to teach so students will learn and remember. 1. Learning is personal. Learning is a private individual experience that must be internalized and integrated by each individual. When teachers present to the class, each student must adapt and apply the lesson to his/her own existing knowledge. This is the reason for pairing, small groups, and interactive activities. Teachers can provide lessons that students must then personalize to make lessons individually meaningful. Every bit of knowledge that each student possesses must have meaning that relates to other meaningful knowledge s/he possesses. Each student has millions of bits of information available to him/her, but each can only...

In the memoir The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls struggles through life but still makes it through tough times. Rex and Rose Mary Walls are not great parents because they put there own needs in front of the needs of their children and are inadequate role models. Rex Walls and Rose Mary buy unnecessary artifacts not needed in their time of need, therefore putting themselves in front the kids. Rose Mary and Rex Walls were thinking about buying their kids beds shortly after moving, but Jeannette’s “Mom decided that what we really needed was a piano.” (Walls 52) This kind of parenting is terrible because the piano wasn’t needed in this case, the kids needed a bed. Therefore they put their own needs and things that they want in front of the things that their children need....

...“Why does history even matter?” is one of the most common questions asked by modern-day kids and teenagers taking a history course. “It’s just stuff that’s already happened, we need to focus on the now.” Thinking that they sound inspirational and smart. However, history plays a much larger role in the way we run our country and the way teens live their lives than they might realize. People are constantly learning from history; they learn from previous mistakes, they learn about truly inspiring people who greatly affected their country, and they are able to learn about all the privileges they have in their lives, because they were not always present. “You must learn from your mistakes.” (First said by Unknown) A quote every student has heard in their lifetime. Some kids are able to learn the meaning of this the first time around, but it takes others time after time. History teaches kids about both times. Whether it be America dropping 2 atomic bombs on Japan, whereas if we did that again it would most likely cause the end of history, or when the European leaders kept believing Hitler’s lies and false promises until he almost destroyed Europe and they finally stood up...

...1. ADORA SVITAK Talk: Main Points Being childish, and irrational thinkers may be just what the world needs. Kids are not hampered by reasons NOT to do something. Kids dream big and dream about perfection. Kids do not think about the limitations on what they can or cannot do. Kids think of good ideas. Kids and adults should learn from each other, it should be reciprocal teaching. Kids have a lot to share. The things that were most important to me from listening to Adora Svitak is that Adults should take children’s wishes into account. Adults underestimate children, and in a lot of ways can intentionally or unintentionally limit a child’s creativity. Adults should put their fear aside and be receptive to learning from children. 2. ALISON GOPNIK: What do Babies Think? Main Points Babies are like sponges, and learn things as they grow. Babies learn things in short periods of time, and what they learn builds on what they learned before. Babies are very good at taking in lots of information from lots of different sources at once. They have a lantern of consciousness. What was most interesting to me is that Gopnik seemed to be saying that adults should become more like babies and begin to have more of a stream of consciousness because babies are not inhibited in their learning or thoughts; adults are, and the inhibitory parts of adults keep us from being creative, imaginative, and seeing the world differently. 3.
