Child Stereotypes

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary stereotype is:”to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same”. An example is say that all Mexicans are bad, or that all Cubans are crazies. Of course this is not true; there are good and bad people everywhere, no matter race, culture or believe.

In today’s modern world, our mindset in fashion are all based on fantasy; new brands/branding, trends and many more. We all live in a society whereby we tends to buy things that are attractive. Even though we don’t have enough money for such items such as cloths, borrowing or lending money from others would better off the cost. In fashion, a question came to mind, what type of people are mostly portrayed especially in magazine covers?

Growing up in a predominantly black neighborhood you're expected to fit the stereotype of the typical black teen. I never played outside with the other kids or associated with outside influence of the typical black lifestyle or their fashion sense. In my four walls, I developed my own individuality and style, however, my senior year of highschool and my first year as an adult is when I made the transition from childhood to adulthood.

Introduction There’s nothing that could describe the struggles of being a poor kid. In the documentary of Poor Kids, posted by PBS, there you can clearly see how bad poverty has grown in the US. It’s sad watching these kids talk about how they struggle to get pass a week after another. Seeing how are these parents work but yet can’t find the money to support the kids.

Kids in middle school, are enduring a time period in their life where they're becoming teens, who are becoming adults. Kids going into middle school are at a point where boys being friends with girls was somewhat acceptable, to adults thinking if two 11 year olds of the opposite genders are gonna have sex with each other if they're left alone together for 5 minutes.

A group of kids in a closed place, dressed differently than the rest of the kids, with colorful dyed choppy hair, with perhaps a monster energy drink in their hand, being loud and annoying with laughter every second. These stereotypes have depicted how scene kids are misunderstood because of these stereotypes. In today's society there are people who label groups of individuals because of the way they dress or act. Different groups of people are labeled, most of them being misunderstood and receiving an image that sticks with them and similar groups in the future. Most groups are frequently stereotyped and are immensely misunderstood because of the label they have been given.

In the picture, there are three children, each of different races. There is a Caucasian boy, an African-American girl, and finally a Hispanic girl. The children are listening together to a teacher giving instructions. They are participating in a camp in the Lancaster area. When different races are present and coexisting in one society, with no one group in the majority, this is called pluralism (Conley, 2011, pg. 352). For example, as the children who are Caucasian, African-American, and Hispanic are together and accepting of each others’ backgrounds, they are demonstrating the concept pluralism. People who believe in pluralism think society should be organized in such a way as to support and appreciate people's differences (Zimmer). In the

From third grade until my first year of high school I attended a private school. Trinity Christian school, a predominantly protestant school, (while still accepting of catholics and other denominations of christianity) also was attended by a vast majority of white students. There were, however, multiple people of color in my class that I made friends with: A Filipino kid by the name of Joven, and two African American kids, Deantre and Cortez. They were very nice people, and I’m glad to have met them. They were smart, compassionate, and funny in their own ways. They were my starting exposure to people of color, and I’m glad I met such good people. I had only experienced stereotypes and racism through the news and the internet at my relatively young age, never experienced them first hand.

The typical school classroom conjures up images of boys and girls coexisting, raising their hands in equal numbers. However, that’s not always the case. According to 2010 data from NCES and the U.S. Census Bureau, from prekindergarten to senior year of high school, male students outnumber female students significantly in public school classrooms: 54 percent to 46 percent in pre-K and 51 percent to 49 percent from first grade to 12th grade.So with the disproportionate stats in the American classroom, is it beneficial to separate the genders from each other? Much debate has centered around this topic for years.

Because of the way society is set and their mind frame they have categorized children in these troubling tends. Many may think that this is true considering what they are seeing. Many people don’t want to take ahead to the truth. I think it shouldn’t matter what the race is or what the background you may come from everybody deserve the same chance regardless of your culture or background. Because research has shown that children whose parents are more involved in their education have higher rates of attendance, homework completion, and school completion, as well as elevated grades and test scores (Barnard, 2004; Henderson & Berla, 1987; Henderson & Mapp, 2002; Jeynes, 2005).

The beasts that live in the minds of all adults cause them to give in to the stereotypes and prejudices that are turning the people on the planet against each other.

As your kids are constantly eager and ready to find entertainment for themselves and their very short attention spans, parents should turn their kid’s attention to the new kids channel with the host Read-a-Roo and start a fun learning experience which involves all kinds of learning levels and is a very good eye catcher for the children with is characters and color codes.

When preschool-age children learning about measurement in mathematics, there are three misconceptions are commonly found, including struggles in recognising the difference between volume and capacity, as well as difference between weight and mass, and the lack of understanding in concept of conservation in measurement, because children have not complete their cognitive development to process those abstract concepts (MacDonald & Rafferty, 2015; Piaget, 1969). It is important to clarify those misconceptions to children, so they can develop a complete understanding about measurement, for measurement is an essential daily life skill (e.g. use measurement to bake a cake or check the time) (Knaus, 2013; MacDonald & Rafferty, 2015). Measurement
