The Birmingham Children's Crusade, a march by hundreds of school students, boys and girls of all ages in Birmingham, Alabama. The students began the march on May 2-5, 1963. This march was during the Civil Rights Movements of the Birmingham Campaign. Students marched to fight against segregation in Birmingham, Alabama. For African- American children in Birmingham, the Civil Rights Movement was part of the children's lives everyday, an important part in history, that changed the way life is today. As a group of audacious kids, they fought against fire hoses, police dogs, police batons, and bombs, and they decided, blacks, whites, and other races, should be integrated, and equaled as a whole. The Birmingham Children, were arrested and beaten in order for Birmingham integration, for not only blacks, but other races as well. The kids

Establishing therapeutic relationships is an effective way in facilitating positive change with an individual. It encourages both, working professionals and clients to participate in a relationship built on respect, acceptance, trust and empathy, to name a few. Building such trusting bonds, can allow professionals to gain a better perspective in the challenges and experiences of at-risk children and youth. In my own words, the term “at-risk children and youth” can be defined at those experiencing far greater risks than resilience in their most critical settings, often making their transition into adulthood difficult. Based on the content in Trouble Youth and Children, Chapter 5 by Brendtro and Shahbazian (2004), I will outline five key guidelines I, as a child and youth worker would use in my work with at risk kids, when developing therapeutic relationships and extending attachment.

Ordinary People written by Judith Guest is a story about a typical American family. The book examines how a family reacts to the adversity of losing a member. The book begins just over a year since the Jarrett family lost Buck, their teenage son.

The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

It is applied based on the need of the child. In the initial stage, which is engagement stage, the objective is to make them feel motivated and offer a better way of thinking. The next step involves behavioral change which is achieved by actively involving them to do things that they enjoy. By so doing, the therapist will have enabled the client to develop an alternative way of thinking making them feel better. At the end of the sessions the cognitive interventions facilitated by therapist will have helped the client (child) on ways to attend to information, identify thinking errors and help them to consider other alternatives in their thinking process hence develop a more unbiased thinking.

Texas children's hospital isn't that a place for kids with cancer? I can remember asking my mom that question when she told me what Doctor I was being sent to next. When I was in seventh grade I had noticed for the first time a pain like no other pain I had ever felt in my left calf. After two ER trips, multiple MRIs and X-rays, and countless trips to my pediatrician, my doctor decided I needed to be seen by a specialists. So off to Texas children's hospital my mom and I went. Little did I know my life was about tt take a drastic change and would never be the same again.

In the beginning, the Children’s Bureau was part of the Department of Commerce, but was later transferred to the Department of Labor in 1913. The law that brought the Children’s Bureau into existence also called for the Bureau to be headed by a Chief, who would be a Presidential appointee, subject to Senate confirmation. The first Chief of the Children's Bureau was Julia Lathrop, one of the Chicago women who helped lobby for the Illinois juvenile court. During the initial years, the Children’s Bureau took on as special projects child mortality, deaths of mothers in childbirth, child labor, and juvenile delinquency (Bradbury and Eliot, 1956). Through studies and surveys, as well as through public education programs, improvements were shown in

We believe that parents and families have the primary role in encouraging their child’s development. The therapists work in partnerships with families to develop treatment plans that address their needs and concerns.

Psychology involves studying the mental functioning and general behaviors of both humans and animals. Social behavior and mental functioning of an individual are explained by exploring the neurological and physiological processes. These include emotions, cognition, perception, motivation, attention, brain functioning and personality. Child psychology is as well stated to be the application of psychological techniques to children where it involves carrying out research on mental states and development of children. The development of the child both physically, mentally and emotionally, with the help of a parent allows the identification of helpful information to any evolving challenges in child’s behavior and

Diane Maring found that most children do better with individual therapy than group therapy. This is because they need to be educated on their situation and taught how to live with it. Children are very self centered by nature, and this is usually a good thing. The problem is that whenever things in their life go wrong, they have the tendency of believing that it is their own fault. It is important to help them to understand, at least at some level, the 3 “C’s”. We didn’t cause it, we can’t control it, and we can’t cure it (Alateen I need to go back and find a page number). These ideas are hard for children to grasp and fully understand, so it can take a decent amount of therapy in order for them to actually believe it. The important part is that the children get help, and can begin to learn that the situation at home isn’t their

I love to do Toys for Tots with my family. Every year around Christmas time me and my whole family go to this big warehouse and give little kids presents for Christmas. We go there because my grandpa served in the Vietnam War and all of his friends that are still living hold Toys for Tots. My motivation for doing Toys for Tots is because I get to give little kids presents for Christmas because their parents can’t afford it. I feel very happy when I see little kids smile on Christmas. There is a very specific way that we do it. In the warehouse they are black bags everywhere! We wait till the family comes up and tell us their first and last name. Once they tell us their first and last name all of the kids go on a hunt for the black bag

“REBT practice with children views a positive working relationship as an essential condition for progress to be made” (Raymond & Michael,2006, p.88). Also, children are able to work in a friendly and warmth atmosphere. Relationship building contribute to effective treatment progress because it helps both the therapist and the client work on shared goals. This process motivates the client to actively participate during treatment, hence a positive desired outcome. Most importantly, the therapeutic alliance or relationship between the therapist and the client has been proven effective in ways that they both work in partnership to improve client’s challenges.
