Evaluation Of A Resident Adviser Of Freshmen For Une And An Emt Basic

Consistent nurturing and respectful relationship between adults and children brings in great accomplishments. By providing a safe, loving, trusting and encouraging environment, children grow in the direction of their interest builds a strong relationship makes who they are and who they become. According to Kostnenik, Whiren & Soderman, “children who feel supported and valued in their current environment are more likely to do well cognitively and socially and approach new events with hope for

In order to illustrate a key stage in the life course, I will be looking at the area of adolescence because I believe that this is one of the most critical life stages, with so many immense transitions young people go through. I have chosen to focus on adolescence because of a commitment to working with these vulnerable individuals aged from 14 to 19. We can no doubt all reflect on wrong choices we felt we made in our adolescence, and how our education and employment prospects may have benefited from good advice at this crucial juncture in life. I want to be able to guide vulnerable adolescents in the right direction and help them make the right choices, by understanding their needs, and supporting them in practical ways to live fulfilling and independent lives. From personal experience, I sincerely believe that with the right kind of guidance and attention, troubled teenagers can get back on track.

Boundaries must become flexible to allow the adolescent to experience things independently, and still be able to come back and depend on their parents if needed. Parents must recognize that they cannot control all aspects of their child’s life anymore. Some changes that occur may include the early beginnings of caring for grandparents (Carter & McGoldrick, 1988, p.18).

This paper has presented an argument on how a child’s development is strongly influenced by environmental and cultural influences as well as parenting styles and education. Children begin to learn and experiment with social skills at school, allowing them to learn and understand social skills necessary for later life in life. Children who receive schooling at an early age perform better later in academics. I hope that by teaching in the ways that I described will help me accomplish this. I want my classroom of students to be excited to come to my class everyday to learn something that I hope will impact them for the rest of their lives. I want my classroom to be a very caring environment. I want my students to feel important and smart and to influence them to be the best that they can be. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from

It is essential to consider the interconnectedness of the system from an ecological perspective, contemplating the involvement of the system parts, which include the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. Characteristics such as the neighborhood in which the adolescent lives, their socioeconomic status, racial and ethnic background, play a role in their development. A spectrum that considers a multifaceted framework, provides a platform to enhance one’s understanding of the assessment outcomes. According to Hill, Bromell, Tyson & Flint (2007), the stages of adolescent development from ages eight to sixteen, involve biological, social, and cognitive components. Adolescents move through phases of identity development which encapsulates changes within relationships of friends, peers, family members, and parents. Within that timeframe, approximately two transitions occur between educational facilities in the adolescent’s life. The biological shift occurring, involves hormonal changes and affects the adolescent’s mood. Behavioral changes are expressed through heightened anxiety, the onset of depression, and extreme high mood levels followed by extreme low levels. The identity development phase involves self-conscious behavior, self-centeredness, and questioning one’s ability to be successful.

Similarly Bronfenbrenner recognised the importance of primary carers to children, his ecological system proposes that children are affected by many social factors and those closest to the child have the greatest impact. In the ecological system the parents and family are represented by the micro system, they are closest to the child and have the most influence them and their learning potential. (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Therefore it is essential that the early year’s educator has a positive relationship with the parent for consistent and effective learning at home and in the setting. As well as recognising that parents have influence on their children the ecological system shows the environmental factors that have impact on the child and family; Bronfenbrenner defines the next layer of the ecological system, the mesosystem, as “the relationship between factors within the microsystem” (Kay, 2008:269) this means that the relationship the parents and educators within the child’s setting has an influence on the child; affirming just how crucial it is for practitioners to be in partnership with parents.

Growing up outside of the United States, I lived a different childhood than someone who had. In order to learn about the differences, I chose American childhood as the culture I researched. My view of Americans was based completely on what I watched on television. Therefore, my views were very stereotyped. For my interview, I chose my roommate, Danielle, who grew up in New Jersey and attended public school her entire life. As a child progresses, changes in stages are marked by biological and cultural changes. These changes are related to traditions, objects and performance, and followed by roles, behaviors and expectations (Baxter 163). For instance when a teen turns sixteen in New Jersey it is customary for them to get their license, and celebrate

In addition, around that time, technology was advancing and I was introduced to a whole new world within the internet. The world around me was changing, and it was changing fast. As middle school progressed, I began learning about a variety of different subjects. I was informed about the existence of other religions, beliefs, and morals. Everything was new to me. Soon my perspective towards the world began to shift, and I began to view the world around me in a new, more comfortable way. After having followed my parent’s will for all those years, the option to go against their beliefs had finally become a possibility for me. It felt liberating, for I was on my way to shaping my own individual personality along with new beliefs. Due to being a teenager, my rebellious stage took over. Being exposed to so much information in such a small amount of time left me stranded in the middle of confusion. My parents would tell me one thing, but my mind refused to believe anything or anyone anymore. What was I supposed to do? Who should I listen to? Did my parents purposely refuse to provide this information in fear of me forming my own individuality? I was young, immature and didn’t know what was going on around me. The moment I stated my mind and proposed the possibility of God not being real, my parent’s facial expression filled up with rage as a thermometer

Growing up I was always told religion was false and that I was above my friends who were Christians because I believed in science. My mom was raised by Catholics, but when she graduated High School, she vowed to never be religious again. My father enjoyed feeling more elite over the “religious plebeians” that worked for him. I remember having an argument with Victoria Henderson in 3rd grade because I believed in The Big Bang and she was a creationist. Everyone took Victoria’s side, and I learned it was better to just not talk about religion. In high school, I began reaching out of my comfort zone, and also questioning what my parents had ingrained on me as a person. My first religious experience was dating a boy named Luis who was Catholic, as my mother was raised. He was only allowed to date Catholic girls, so I

In their book, Nurture Shock, authors Po Bronson & Ashley Merryman dive into detail on how children are prepared for future success. This book looks to set forth ways in which we can build upon an adolescent’s abilities and why they act a certain way by posing information collected from observational studies, intelligence tests, and parental influence on future/current parents and educators. Each chapter highlights specific aspects that are manipulated/judged upon by adults. This includes attributes from poor-assessment of intellect to sleep deprivation to teen rebellion. Many of the concepts displayed in the book can relate to the field of outdoor education. We can use the knowledge from the book and use it to help people experience growth in themselves.

The age group the author will be discussing will be the considered middle adolescences which are the ages of 14-16. During this age range, the youth are going through many life changes such as puberty, social changes and life transitions in general. When working with this age range, there are many things that need to be taken into consideration. Using the biopsychosocial cultural model will help social workers better understand a client and will serve as a foundation or a guide to be able to give this age range the best care. Biologically the middle adolescences have to deal with a lot of physical changes such as puberty. Psychologically, the middle-aged youth have to deal with things that re going on around them that impacts their mental

Since that night I have began to question more things about my life. My political views have changed, and I am also more knowledgeable in politics as well. This will also affect me in the future because I will be questioning everything. This does not mean I am going to be a conspiracy theorist who believes that the world is being run by reptilians. I will only be more skeptical, and more informed when comes to certain topics. I will do more research and be all around a more intelligent person because I know

I was not naive enough to believe that I knew everything there was to understand about life, however rewind to seven months ago: beginning of my senior year, I believed that I was at least in close proximity to that sort of understanding. I knew that life had a great deal to do with survival. Immigrating to this country at just four years old under asylum, and being introduced to a completely different culture, lifestyle, language, etc.; I understood that in order to survive I needed to fully immerse myself into the American lifestyle, all while only having family members that were in the same predicament I was. Life was about faith. Nights in the hospital room my sophomore and junior year, kneeled down praying to my God that my mother's tumors

How does a person grow up to be who they are? Most people say it is determined by the way their parents raise them. The parents that hover close and the parents that give their children space will have children with complete opposite characteristics. Parents that hover close are referred to as “Helicopter Parents,” and children that are given a lot of space are called “Free- Range Kids” (Rutherford). Although these styles of parenting are vastly different, both kinds of parents are trying to do what is best for their child. Of the two parenting types, helicopter parenting is looked at as a worse method for parenting. There are more negative aspects of it then there are positive. Not only do helicopter parents

High school is a crucial period for all adolescences, it’s a time where teenagers are approaching young adulthood, their learning new skills rapidly, and making important decisions (Blakemore, 2011). For this reason, it is highly imperative for high school students to have positive influences in their lives, especially in their educational setting. In high school, educators play an important role in their student’s lives because they have the opportunity to have a stronger impact on their future and their goals. In addition, they also have the opportunity to, inspire them to learn and try new things, teach them how to make sound decisions, and encourage them to collaborate with their peers (Bellanca & Brandt, 2010).
