Examples Of Developmental Leaps

Self-regulation is sometimes difficult to practice, even adults lose control of their emotions or behavior. Self-regulation is useful in different types of events whether a person is trying to change their lifestyle or trying to finish a paper but learning how to practice self-control should start very early on before being faced with these types of events. By learning and using the process model of self-control a person can effectively prevent undesirable actions and manipulate and minimize the struggle of controlling a their impulse (Duckworth, Gendler, & Gross, 2016). Learning is half of the fight the other half sometimes is more important: when something like self-regulation is learned. Infants, toddlers, and young children all have many things in common this includes: brain plasticity, emotional unpredictability, and tantrums (Flook et al., 2015). It is common for young children to face a world that is teaching them new ideas, emotions, and objects. Sometimes they are able to cope with new concepts and sometimes they do not know how handle certain situations. It is important for these developing brains to also be taught the importance of self-regulation and techniques to master their own thoughts, behaviors, and emotions (Flook et al., 2015).

Gottfredson, (1997) stated that intelligence is ‘a very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience.

My community has always been an important part of my life. I have actively served in my community through 4-H, and National Honor Society (NHS). I joined 4-H when I was 6 years old and since then I have served in many different ways. My 4-H club has local flower planters in town, and every week we take turns watering them. I have helped clean the road ditches in the surrounding areas to help out the environment. I have also delivered May Day baskets, Valentines, and gone Christmas caroling for the elders that live in the manner in my community. As one of the older members of my 4-H club, I think it is important to show the younger children that you should respect and help the elderly of your community. Through NHS, I have gone trick or treating

Every day I wake up and drive through the beautiful town that I live in and I realize how much my community has helped me grow. I joined National Honor Society because I wanted to give back to my community and I wanted to prove how thankful I truly am. When I started my junior year of high school, there was a shooting at a local community college and my neighbor, friend, and teammate, was tragically killed in the shooting. The day after the shooting I promptly decided to donate blood to help the survivors, and ever since then I have been a part of every American Red Cross Blood Drive that South Umpqua has hosted. The shooting affected me so much, and it still does, and I realized that is when I wanted to help those in need; I wanted to donate

From being active in my community I have learned that after giving, you receive the best feeling. My freshman year, my friends and I dressed up like Disney princesses and sang at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Columbia, Missouri. I have gone back two more times because I am in love with cheering people up. Since this experience, I have made it a mission to always continue to participate in community service. From meals-on-wheels, to adopt-a-spot trash clean up I am always ready to help out the community.

The definition of intelligence has strongly been debated over for many centuries, and many individuals have their arguments for what it is. So what is really the true meaning of intelligence? Some, such as college professor of psychology, Carol S. Dweck, strongly believes that intelligence is something achieved through large amounts effort and having optimistic mindsets as inferred in her article, “The Secret to Raising Smart Kids”. However, on the other hand, successful author of best selling novel “Steve Jobs”, Walter Isaacson, claims that intelligence is an abstract idea that is derived from ingenuity and applying creativity to life and other material concepts. With almost completely opposite sets of beliefs, it is likely that Dweck will not agree with Isaacson’s nation of intelligence being derived from natural intuition rather than raw intelligence.

Intelligence by definition is “the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills” (Oxford Dictionary, 2014). However, many psychologists argue that there is no standard definition of ‘intelligence’, and there have been many different theories over time as psychologists try to find better ways to define this concept (Boundless 2013). While some believe in a single, general intelligence, others believe that intelligence involves multiple abilities and skills. Another largely debated concept is whether intelligence is genetically determined and fixed, or whether is it open to change, through learning and environmental influence. This is commonly known as the nature vs. nurture debate.

During my eighth grade year at Blessed Sacrament, a local Catholic grade school, I was first introduced to the idea of community service. Then, it was presented to me as a requirement as I needed to give back to my community at least ten hours each quarter, or a total of forty hours to graduate. Both my grandparents and parents have gone out of their way to complete community service as well, and being a witness to their selflessness and learning from them the value of seeking to assist those who need it has inspired me to strive to help others as well. While community service could consist of cleaning up a park or simply giving to a charity, its true beauty lies in helping others. My introduction to community service and working to help others from such a young age has truly inspired me to maintain a lifestyle where I have the ability to help others in any way I can. My involvement in community service, dedication to my family values and desire to become a biomedical engineer while different, all are derived from my main goal in life, helping others.

Tutored kids in a low-income housing project in Boston while in school. She felt powerless in the program because many of the students had emotional and physical experiences when they were younger that made educating them very challenging.

Emotional Intelligence as defined by Satterlee in Organizational Management and Leadership: A Christian Perspective is “the ability of an individual to detect emotional cues and adapt his or her feelings and behaviors accordingly. Emotional intelligence consists of five dimensions: self awareness, self management, self motivation, empathy, and social skills.”

Emotional intelligence consist of these five attributes self-awareness, self-management, empathy, relationship management, and effective communication. I believe the aspect of emotional intelligence that Shelia Johnson most frequently demonstrates are the act of knowing and understanding how to be leader. For example she runs several businesses, oversee projects, all while being a mother, business partner even with going a through one of the most publicized divorce settlements, due to professional and personal differences and after 20 years of marriage; but not allowing it to ruin her lifestyle, her business mindset or shatter her goals. Emotional intelligence is a powerful tool critical for exceeding goals, improving critical work relationships, and creating a healthy, productive workplace and organizational

As an educator and school administrator, she wanted the best from her students and for her students. She was positive, encouraging and always praised their accomplishments. Her expectations were always set high for her students and for herself. After her retirement with over 30 years

Video of a mother and her daughter engaged in playtime. I will actively be engaged with mom in order to assist in her recognizing the developmental milestones of child development in her child. Child development milestones will be demonstrated for 12-18 month old child. I think that this is a good idea—your artifact is required to demonstrate your knowledge and skill across the competency –will you include additional information related to things like autism and speech as noted below?

Self-regulation is an area I thrive in, as long as I am practicing self-awareness. Self-regulation is the management of one’s internal states, urges, and assets. Self-regulation can be broken down into trustworthiness, integrity, comfort with ambiguity, and openness to change (Sadri, 2012). As mentioned before I am able to recognize the way that my mood affects other people. This allows me to control my emotions and bring them to a level that is more suitable for the situation. In the past, I have struggled with consistently being able to take full responsibility for my personal performance; yet, I have made it a priority to internalize the fact that I make mistakes and I cannot blame those mistakes on another person. I value the ability to be an open and honest person, which is the kind of person who does not try to blame other for their own shortcomings. In order to be emotional intelligent, you need to be open to the idea of working on yourself and changing the aspects that are inappropriate (Faguy, 2012). This is needed in the nursing profession because the patients and environment are fast-paced and ever-changing. A nurse has to be able to think on her feet. This is the broad spectrum that self-regulation requires from a person; therefore, it

It took me eighteen years to spend some quality time with my mother and discover what an incredible journey she has had with my brothers and me. She is the kind of person who has always been very involved with all parts of our daily lives. In fact, she was the kind of mother who always had time for her three sons, worked full-time and had time to devote to community projects too. Her energy and enthusiasm for all of these things seemed endless and she always tried to teach the three of us to see the value in the idea of giving back to the community. I was always glad that she was present at my games and supported me through school, but it took me over a decade to learn what motivated her to be so
