In the novel, The Catcher in the Rye, J.D Salinger depicts a narration of Holden Caulfield’s encounters. Holden is portrayed as a high school student that is judgmental towards adults while kinder to the youth. Holden does not want to grow up and he thinks that if one is approaching adulthood, one will turn into a phony. Holden’s leniency towards younger people, such as his sister, is because of his dilemma of growing up or not, his distaste for adult phonies, and his own childhood.

A passion has erupted and is spurting forth in all areas of my life. I believe that every person deserves the opportunity to prove themselves, they deserve to be given a chance and when it comes to children I feel even more strongly about this. A passion of mine is working with children. Bright grinning faces, and the sparkle in small innocent eyes can bring a smile to my face every time. Some children can be good, bad, and some are just tolerable to be around. Being around children brightens up my day. Fourth graders are just as sweet as the young kindergartners, I soon learned. Thanks mom, for the opportunity that made a difference in my life so I could be an impact to the kids at Union Elementary. I do miss everybody at Union already. I can't wait to come back and see everyone again.

Many people have different passions, some might share the same ones while others might have some that no one has heard of before. Mine would have to be anything that had to do with working with kids. I love teaching them, babysitting them, and even playing with them, it's a new and different experience every time. I find it amazing that you could learn more than you think from someone who is 10+ years younger than you. They can teach you the smallest things that you never realized they could. For example how they treat everyday like a new one, they don't focus on the past events from the previous day they always have a fresh look on things; which can be hard to do as you grow older. Children have this energy to them that can’t be found in adults

The Toronto Star published an article reporting that Toronto currently has the highest rate of children living in households that are considered low income in Canada (Monsebraaten, 2015).

This paper will discuss child poverty, how this is a challenge to public health practices and policies, and finally, discuss potential solutions for public policy that address this issue.

Personal, social and emotional developments (PSED) are acknowledged as one of the starting point of accomplishment in life. PSED is about the whole child, how they are developing now, what they can do to reach their goals but also contribute to their community and how children perceive their identity and ability, understand their relation to the others in the society and apprehend their own and others’ feelings. PSED are a part of children’s development where they will be able to communicate effectively and be able to develop positive behavior among themselves and to others. According to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), PSED is consists of three aspects which are self-confidence and self-awareness, managing feelings and behavior

Guidance is vital to their everyday needs. It is a tool to help teachers strengthen learning and individuality in the classroom. While young children are in our care I believe that teachers need to focus on guiding young children in the right direction. Therefore, three long-term goals that are critical for young children to develop are independence, self-discipline, and initiative. All of the aforementioned goals are pertinent for young children to develop. These goals will influence how they learn and live their lives.

MU 2.9 1.1 Explain why working in partnership with others is important for children and young people

Some children act like adults, and some adults act like children. This ambiguity is manifested in The Catcher in the Rye, which is a realistic fiction novel by J.D. Salinger. The main character, Holden Caulfield, is a 16-year-old boy who has flunked out of multiple schools. He gets expelled from his latest school, Pencey Prep, a few days before the term ends (Salinger 6). So he decides to spend the rest of the days in New York – he doesn’t want his parents to know he got expelled, and figures he’ll just come home when he would have if he didn’t get kicked out. Holden knows his parents will be really angry with him if they find out (Salinger 11). He figures that spending time in New York is the perfect opportunity for him to act like an adult. Holden realizes that he sometimes acts like he was “only about twelve” (Salinger 12). But his perception of

Since he knows so many "phonies" he may feel that by joining the adult world, one must submit to a certain degree of "phoniness", and he already has. Holden shows the characteristics of a pathological liar, " `May I ask your name, dear [Mrs. Morrow]?' `Rudolf Schmidt,' I told her... Then I started shooting the old crap around a little bit... `your nose is bleeding, dear,'...`I got hit with a snowball...One of those very icy ones.'. Clearly, the way "phonies" lie rubs off on Holden. Since Holden shows signs of a "phony", and he hates "phonies", he in a sense, hates himself. Holden knows he has lost his own innocence; now he realizes he possesses the ability to protect the innocence of other children. While narrating The Catcher in the Rye, Holden persistently uses the word "phony" to describe many adults. This entails that people lose their innocence when entering the adult realm.

For example, as specified in a New York Times article written by Marie Winn, “Where parents once felt obliged to shelter their children from life's vicissitudes, today, great numbers of them have come to operate according to a new belief: that children must be exposed early to adult experience in order to survive in an increasingly uncontrollable world”. This same uncontrollable world is something both characters in Of Mice and Men and The Catcher in the Rye want to keep away from innocence. They know how harsh adult life and therefore, they feel the need to protect the ones that don’t understand how to deal with it. Additionally the article states, “In every way their (children’s) lives have become more difficult, more confusing - in short, more like adult lives”. This quotation provides another example that goes against what Holden and George want to accomplish. Holden thinks poorly of adult life and wants to keep the innocent away from it and George wants to protect Lennie from adult situations, knowing he wouldn’t be able to comprehend them. On a final note, as mentioned in the article, “Perhaps the recognition that a highly complicated civilization cannot afford to shorten the period of nurture and protection

Child welfare is one of the most important sociological topics today. It is a concept that is used to describe the combination of efforts and services that are designed with the primary objective of maintaining and promoting the safety as well as the wellbeing of children and ensuring that families have the necessary support they need to ensure that their children have been successfully cared for. In essence, child welfare is social work that is focused on the welfare of children (Keddell, 2014). Child welfare is a broad topic that involves, among others, child protection from abuse, support for families to effectively care for their children, investigation of child maltreatments and neglect, and support for children in

Attachment is a term used to describe the dependency relationship a child develops towards his or her primary caregivers. It is first observable during the latter half of the first year of life and develops progressively over the first four years of life. It is most readily observed in the behavior of children when they are sick, injured, tired, anxious, hungry or thirsty. Although early attachment research focused on the mother and infant, it is now generally accepted that children develop multiple attachment relationships. An ‘attachment figure’ is defined as someone who provides physical and emotional care has continuity and consistency in the child’s life, and who has an emotional investment in the child’s life. This can include parents (biological, foster, adopted), grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and alternate caregivers (e.g. child-care workers). Given that children are able to form multiple attachments, the question has been asked as to which attachment relationship is most influential on children’s developmental outcomes.

Social constructionism gives meaning to phenomenon in social context and connections between culture and society build up realities in their circumstances. The studies of this idea have been conducted more than thirty years by a number of North American, British and continental writers (Burr, 1995). However, in childhood studies this notion appears later on. It is mostly held universally, childhood is a stage that biologically existing in human life in early years. It should be considered this childhood is constructed in the society. As a social being, it brings into the mind the relationship between society and child, inevitably. However, the dominant understanding of childhood attributes biological and social
