Middle Childhood Research

Bullying is a form of insecurity in which, both the perpetrator and the victim are impacted psychologically. During physical education most children are bullied because of gender, physically, sexual orientation, etc., which can lead to trauma later on and life and fear of intervening. Through heroism and educating children prior to a bullying incident can reduce the impact it has in physical education and in schools. The impact bullying has made in physical education has prevented the victims to further become physically active due to the fear of encountering the situation again or have yet not been taught how to manage those type of situations. Furthermore, bullying can be in many forms whether it is verbally or physically, which are the

The middle childhood is to leave the play years to start maturing years to start adolescence (Berk, 2010). During the middle childhood, children began to have a lot physical changes. As well as, they begin to discover there identify that they are. For example, secondary sexual organs begin to develop in the boys and girls, they will confuse about identify. The puberty is the cycle when children are out of control because they will transition to leave the children to enter adolescence. For instance, physical and behavioral changes will have some consequences if pre-adolescences do not deal well with them. Middle childhood is divided into two categories 6 to 8 and 9 to 12 years that reflects on children’s behavior (Nuru-Jeter et al., 2010). For instance, children learn to interact with other children, and how they will manage emotions and behaviors. Also, how they have to act with adults and children that totally different it. Also, the girl and boy have different physical and behavior changes for the gender difference. Middle childhood development makes for some factors that influence on physical changes, brain and nervous system, and social and emotional changes.

Bullies may grow up and lead a life of ultimate rebellion or crime. These students start off with bullying and advance into acts of vandalism, theft, and alcohol and possible drug abuse. Left unchallenged, the bully will never understand that their behavior is inappropriate. The bully will grow up, victimize, and start a family of budding, pint-sized oppressors. Bullying is a learned behavior. Whereas, the victim may live a life of depression and anxiety. The victim may never reach their full potential because of fear and uncertainty. The victim has a difficult time making and keeping friends, and seeks to stay clear of confrontation. The victim loses his/her control or voice and lives in the shadow of the aggressor. Over time, the victim may begin to miss class, fake illnesses, and believe that he or she deserves bad treatment. In the end,

Most adolescents face the same obstacles in life and experience similar difficulties. Friends in childhood are primarily found at “school” (Murray 2009). This is because they

Bullying has been recognized as a risk factor in improvement and personal growth of children and adulthood. It is a form of hostile conduct in which an individual engages to cause another individual harm or distress (Kirves, & Sajaniemi, 2012).. Therefore, it is vital to be able to detect signs of bullying in order to stop further consequences, such as self-harm, and suicide. Children who have experienced bullying become hopeless, anxious, have low self-efficacy, and have recurrent negative thoughts (Kirves, & Sajaniemi, 2012). Research in bullying has also concluded that children who bully other children are more prone to become anti-social and engage in criminal activity (Kirves, & Sajaniemi, 2012).

Bullying can be prevented and defined as “an act of intentional aggression involving the selection of specific targets by bullies for specific reasons” (Wong et al. 28). Studies have shown that there are some causes that can lead a student to becoming a victim of bullying. “Physical appearance, looking weak or fat, physical or mental impairments … result in a higher risk of being bullied” (Wong et al. 28). Being a person who has any differences in early childhood than the “norm” have a higher chance of peer victimization. Studies have also shown that bullying affects mental health that results in depression and anxiety. Sandra Graham, Professor at the Department of Education, University of

Bullying is often downplayed with phrases such as “kids will be kids”, “it’s a normal part of growing up”, and “it will help toughen up more sensitive children”. All of these statements can be potentially damaging and also misleading.

Mid- child adolescence is an essential stage of everyone’s life. During this lifetime a child has many events in their life that are changing drastically. Many events are changing severely in their life’s that they try to understand their surroundings through family, friends and culture. During this time, they also attempt to understand who they are in their own little world by making social comparisons. For that reason, environment affects mid-child adolescents to a vast extent. According to Erikson’s theory: industry versus inferiority, is resolved positively when children develop a sense of competence at useful skills and tasks (p. 330). Industry meaning the child is being encourage and feels confident about their self’s and inferiority

There are many theorists and theories that have approached the study of adolescents’ development over the past decade. There are only a few researchers that have stood the test of time and these theories have been proven to be extensively significant. These key child development researchers are amongst the fundamental group of middle adolescent theories, these scientists and researcher are the five major researchers that serve the basis for middle adolescents. We will explore, Erikson's psychosocial stage theory, Kohlberg's moral understanding, Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, Piaget's cognitive development stage theory and Freud's psychosexual stage theory, in this

Children usually start developing friendships around the age of 3. Early relationships with family may determine how a child’s friendships and relationships are. Children with loving and caring parents are more likely to establish better relationships with friends then children with parents who show lack of motivation of being there for their children. Children like adults look for friends who share similar interests as them, but for them they look at similar size, appearance, and if they are likable. Early childhood friendships tend to help children learn values like sharing, controlling their anger in situations, and becoming more mature. Children who are more popular with their classmates and do better in physical activities and academically learn how to be more friendly and how to actually be a friend. However, children who tattle on others and are more aggressive and hostile towards others tend to be less likable and have fewer friends which fuels their hostility

The industry vs. inferiority stage takes place between six to twelve years, when children begin to more prominently assert their individuality as the move away from the primary interaction of the nuclear family into a world where peer relationships are primary. The child is now looked upon as an independent entity in society and social relationships. Furthermore, must discover whether their place in society, or face rejection from the social world (Wong, Hall, Justice, & Hernandez, 2015).

Victims of bullying need our support to repair their weakened self-esteem, well enabling them to stand up to the bully. All too often when dealing our attention is focused on the bully, the consequences and changing their behavior.

Before considering my personality as a child, it is important to mention the series of events that influenced my personality by the age of eight. Before year eight, I would consider my family; e.g., younger brother and sister, to be developing emotional, social, physical, and strong academic nurturing support from our mother. Our reality transformed one day in 1980, Big Al (my father) abandoned the four of us for another family. This was the dominating force that altered my developing personality. With this new reality, my family was soon evicted and relocated to live with other family members. We lived in a single bedroom of a small, beige, shotgun house in New Orleans. My mothers’ emotional state suffered; she had become financially responsible for three children with no former education and work skills. She was
