Jonah Observation

Approach them with a calm nature but with authority. Ask each child to explain what happened. To let them know that you are treating each one fairly by giving both of them a chance to explain what happened.

I observed three little boys playing and climbing on a slide. Nick, the little boy in the blue shirt and tan pants was climbing up the slide, using the steps and holding on to the wooden side to help him get to the top. He was grasping a wooden toy in his hands as he was climbing. There was another little boy climbing up the slide pushing a wooden toy as he went up the slide; the third little boy was climbing up the steps. When Nick got to the top of the slide he slid down really fast. The other little boys did not wait; they also slid down the slide. Nick ran from the slide to another area where a child was playing with a tower and cars. He did not talk to the child, but took the car he wanted and began to play with it and the tower. Nick

The first Friday of New Year, Darrell didn't want to go to the supermarket parking lot to met Tyray because he didn't want to be scared of Tyray. He decided that he didn’t want pay to him again. At school, Tyray came and asked Darrell about his money, but the teacher came in so Tyray went away. When they went to eat lunch, Tyray and Darrell started fighting and then Tyray was crying because he broke his wrist. Finally, they were both sent to the principal office. At that time, Darrell told the principal what happened. In conclusion, Tyray got suspended and Darrell got a warning.

When children get to a certain age they begin to play cooperatively which means by the age of about four alot of children start to resolve conflict on their own. As adults we still need to show children how to do this in a positive way. As children grow older adults need to step back and see if children can resolve conflicts on their own. It is also important to give praise when this is done, if the children are still finding it difficult, it may be useful to act as a guide rather then tell them exactly what to do.

This was a positive effect to the communication as I was able to conduct my both interactions within an hour. As the both activities I chose to do were not very long this give more time for communications to tack place between the children and myself. Not only this it helped to relax the situation as I wasn't in a hurry and my attention to the children was a priority instead of concentrating on the time which could have caused a distraction and children not behaving as they wouldn’t be interested.

A significant event that happened today involved a child who was demonstrating stubbornness. The teacher had an activity planned for me, which dealt with number recognition. Essentially, the teacher provided instructions, directing me to present a number from 1-10, where then the child would count the number of bear figurines to match the given number. I came across one child who was being difficult and did not want to wait her turn while I was assisting the other children. She kept peeking her head through the door asking if it was her turn, as I kept telling her that I would call her when it was. Finally, when it got to her turn, I called her into the back room and told her to count six bears. Instead, she told me she did not want to and that she wanted

2 young people were having a heated debate. I would isolate them and give them time to calm down, and then discuss quietly with each child and attempt to resolve the dispute.

Today Miss Cortes decided to take the children to Lincoln Park for a family day out. It was Ms. Cortes, Mr. Perez (the children's father), Nicholas, Messiah and Jordan. I met the family in front of Project Home at 6pm and then we walked to Lincoln Park. When we got to the park Mr. Perez left to go to the store to get snacks and water and took Jordan with him. He did not came back until 8:15pm. This left Ms. Cortes to deal with Nicolas and Messiah on her own. Before entering the playground area, Ms. Cortes told the boys they were not allowed to get wet and do not leave the play area. They children all wanted to play on different things at first . Jordan wanted to get on the swing, Messiah wanted to play on the train and Nicholas went over to the sliding board. Ms. Cortes found a breach in the middle of the play ground were she could keep on eye on all of them and left her bags. She walked over to Jordan and pushed him on the wing for a few minutes. When he asked to get down she brought him over to the bench. Mr. Perez than walked over and told Ms. Cortes he was going to the

After lunch Miss B asked me to help all students to get ready for PE. When all students changed their clothes I asked them to line up. Some of students pushed each other and there was a gap between them. First, I put them in a line order, so that friends were not near each other, and the sneaky kids were in the middle of the line. If they have no one to talk to they can’t say much!

Dr. Bledsoe is extremely enraged because he I shocked that the narrator refused to lie to Mr. Norton and took him to the slum, I which the uneducated black people reside, thus showing Mr. Norton a different type of black person, one which brings shame to the college in the eyes of Dr. Bledsoe.

I am unsure on how I caused a conflict at the front door if the fight occurred on the 3rd floor. I do not know what stories other brothers have been telling you, but the fight occurred after a COMPLETE RANDOM shoved Adam and proceeded to push my girlfriend into a column. If Corr is going to have the audacity and say I was irresponsible for that, should we not bring up the time he did cocaine and screamed Campus Security was in our house yet they weren’t? I am sure any brother in the house would do the same if a random came into our house and pushed one of our girlfriends on

Being beat up, obtaining a broken tooth, almost raping a girl, wading in the muck of a polluted lake with a dead body, and having their vehicle destroyed were the consequences these young boys experienced all because they wanted to appear to be bad. At the end of the story it becomes obvious that the boys have finally learned their lesson due to these horrible consequences. This is evidenced in the refusal to party with the “stoned” (136) girls who were offering themselves willingly, had these adolescents still been seeking to be bad they would have accepted. Instead, he states that “he wanted to get out of the car and retch” (136) and go home to his parents’ house and crawl into bed. When the girls said “Hey you guys look like some really bad characters” (136)

When I was working at The Steam Project I had to be a counselor of around 10 kids. One of the most difficult things about being a summer camp counselor is overseeing kids that do not listen or are rude to their fellow campers. These kids break the chemistry of the group, as a counselor I had to take action to subside these rowdy kids. At some points during the camp one kid would get insulted by another and they will start crying as a result. To try and take care of the situation my fellow counselor and I would separate the two kids apart and talk to them individually. Firstly we try and calm down the first camper as it is harder to maintain a distressed camper. After that we start a conversation with the guilty camper; we try and decide on

I was sitting at my work desk when there was a loud crash as something came flying through the window. At first I thought it was a rock, but then I realized it was a baseball. I picked up the ball and put it on the desk beside (1) ____. Two teenage boys appeared outside. They said they were sorry, but then they started arguing, with each blaming (2) ____ for causing the accident. Then suddenly one of them asked if (3) ____ could have the ball back. I said, ‘I don’t think (4) ____. Not until you pay to have this broken window replaced.’ They looked at me, then at each other, and then they both started running.

Anger rushed all over me as I began to stomp towards them. The 3 kids started to feel afraid, so they quickly ran back to their desks like cowards. I was done for the rest of that day and thought the apology can wait.
