Family Reflection ”No one is ever born into Life alone. Everyone has shared the bond of family, at least at birth, and for many people it is a bond that will follow them throughout life. For many people it is the most important bond of all.” Family means many things to different people, yet the word itself can bring about a host of emotions from anyone who hears the word uttered. As a child growing up in the 60s and 70s the family dynamic was defined by the people we grew up with were
course of the semester we have been grouped together to work with infants and toddlers with their families. Every Thursday I attend playgroup with four of my peers to interact with multiple different families, but we do not get the chance to meet with the families in the other playgroups. Collaboratively, we arranged an event for all of the playgroups to come together during our parent-child family potluck dinner with activities. When putting together this event, there were many components to take
on a period of my own family story and the plot that unfolded. I have identified several themes with messages and patterns which I have woven throughout the essay. Finally I will summarise with a brief conclusion. Gentle, stable and accepting is how I would describe my father’s character. I remember as a child, he never criticised or discriminated against anyone. He would spend time talking to people, asking them about themselves. He also had a strong sense of family togetherness. Hence, at
In this course, I learned about strategies and models that help build a healthy family. My favorite thing about this class is learning how to care for others the right way and how to have successful relationships. Everyone’s family structure is different. Some people come from nuclear families and some might come from blended. It was interesting to learn that no matter what type of household a person came from, there was going to be similar challenges and issues. I did not know much about the problems
How I would describe the primary needs for the Harris family situation and the needs I feel are most urgent. The primary need (s) for the Harris family would be prayer and communication, of the most urgent is communication. There reactions with a why Mr. Harris is auctioning on an emotion that Mrs. Harris has no understanding, her son is being effected but without knowing why. 2. The pastoral function (s) I see of the most useful for this family would be: Liberating as quoted from Emmanuel Y. Lartey’s
Personal Reflection Paper My family of origin is made up of the same people still in my life today. I am a part of a large family, and most us still live in the same city, therefore we are a big part of each other’s lives. My family consists of my Mother, 65 and Father, 67. I am the youngest of six children, with four brothers and one sister. My brothers from oldest to youngest are 43, 39,29, and 25 years old. My Sister is 31 and I am 21. My mother was a teacher for 35 years and is now retired, my
To answer the question of what defines normalcy in my life, I look to two of my experiences: “It’s not Divorce. And It Doesn’t Define Me,” and, “Morey’s Piers will be Closing in 5 Minutes...” These two memories deal with feelings surrounding family structure and class, respectively. In the first experience, one of my relatives referred to my father as my mother’s “ex-husband.” What I interpreted then as pure anger, I now don’t believe is solely anger at all. I think hurt and confusion contributed
Reflection Paper As I reflect on this five-week course of Marriage and Family, it has challenged me to embrace who I am as a biblical woman of God and continue to grow in Christ. I am free to be that biblical woman. God has made me in His image and I am to bear this image to the world. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27 English Standard Version). I know that God desires for me to be that woman of excellence
A family is someone foundation. They are molded and shaped by their family dynamics. There are so many factors that we can look at how a family operates. For example, the structure and the process of the family. However, at times those variables are not always visual to others. The structure and process are usually passed down from generation to generation. When looking back on generations to generations, we start to realize where our family values come from, the experiences they are willing to tell
Reflection of My Family History What can I say about my family? Honestly, hardly know jack shit about my family's history. As of now, I know that both my Biological parents were born in Puerto Rico. In addition, please be mindful that the man who is supposedly is my biological father; I did not have a chance to meet his ass until I was 24 years old. Furthermore, I never would have met this fucking man had it not been for me calling my Titi Carmen (Aunty Carmen) in Puerto Rico. Before I go too deep
