Journalist Alexandra Robbins ventures back to her old high school to examine the competitive efforts students are having to take to compete on the battlefield that is the education system in her book, The Overachievers: The Secret Lives of Driven Kids. Robbins explores the lives of multiple students who are stressed and pressured to maintain good grades and get into an Ivy League college.

Robbins’ The Overachievers is an eye-opening bestseller which exposes the social pressures and anxieties students must overcome in their high school lives as they attempt to impress and prove to colleges they are worthy of acceptance.

The novel Unwind by Neal Shusterman takes place in the future where children can be 'unwound', meaning their body parts can be donated to those who would need it, by the permission of their parents between ages thirteen to eighteen. The story follows three main characters who are in their own way trying to escape their fate of being unwound. They are by the names of Conner, Risa, and Lev. Conner who has a high temper and often reacts on impulse more than instinct is considered a problem by his parents and is meant to be sent away to be unwound. Risa, who is a ward of the state, is one day sent to be unwound because her musical talent is deemed not enough to keep her alive. The last character is a young boy named Lev who is known as a tithe,

2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.

For example, through the whole article, Hellmich backs up her point with many pieces of information, as she displays 5 reliable sources. Nevertheless, in the last paragraph, she had included the reply of the American Beverage Association says “This is an observational study, which cannot and does not show that cardiovascular disease is caused by drinking sugar-sweetened beverages.” This contradicts what she had stated earlier in the text. Apart from this, the article was necessarily germane to the topic. Furthermore, expanding and condensing parts could have made the article better. An example is that they should expand the words of Laurie Schmidt of the University of California-San Francisco, because of the lack of words, and how it is in a repetitive tone from Rachael Johnson. Finally, Hellmich should had been more clear by not writing about all the exceeding numbers of facts , because in the end, it would be arduous to memorize, or to keep in mind of. Although that part could use a bit of improvement, this article was straightforward and

I recently read The Explosive Child, written by Dr. Ross W. Greene. I found this book to be extremely informative, and I could relate to its contents on both a professional and personal level. In The Explosive Child Greene discusses “a new approach for understanding and parenting easily frustrated, chronically inflexible children” which he refers to as “inflexible-explosive.” A child who is inflexible-explosive “is one who frequently exhibits severe noncompliance, temper outbursts, and verbal physical aggression.” (Greene, 2001) I think that The Explosive Child is a great resource for parents and professionals, because it manages to provide useful tools to help teach parents how to react appropriately when their inflexible-explosive child

Even before working at the Ymca I have taken care of children. Not by choice; it just kind of started when my younger siblings were born. With that teenage recklessness I applied for a position at the YMCA’s Kidzone. My first day was excellent. We only had 10 kids, all of them cleaned up after themselves and were perfectly polite. However, the next day it was as if I had walked straight into the Upside Down. Chaos, as I had never seen before. As it turns out, the latter is the day to day norm. In that environment it is very difficult to stay sane and easy to loose a temper. That being said, here are some easy ways to keep it together.

Even though the authors have valid points and cite credible sources, their argument fails to be effective in several ways. For one,

The nature of childhood, has changed significantly over time. Reference for definitions The word ‘childhood’ can be defined as being ‘the period during which a person is a child’ and is seen as the period between birth and adolesance. Childhood is built up by a range of different aspects for example: development socially, educationally etc. The idea of childhood being in crisis, can relate to a range of different issues i.e. family breakdown, increase in technology, culture/society changes etc. A crisis can be defined as being a time of intense difficulty. Whether childhood is in crisis or not it is extremely important to support a child’s development through childhood. Childhood is made up of three

Vulnerability and resilience among children continues to be a popular topic in research of developmental psychology. The two definitions are closely tied together as they are considered both sides to the spectrum. Schaffer (2006) defines vulnerability and resilience “as the susceptibility to develop malfunctioning following exposure to stressful life events, as opposed to the capacity to maintain competent functioning stress”. If stressful life events are the trigger here, why is it that some children are far more vulnerable, yet others are more resilient? The three studies discussed in this paper will attempt to explain why these differences occur and what can we do to enhance protective factors.
