The Needs And Interests For My Program

They would because some people’s parents work days and they can’t take or pick up their kids from school. That would mean kids would have to get bus rides or rides from a friend. What if the friend wasn’t at school and went for a vacation that would mean you would have no ride to school or home.

Teach you teens auto safety, each year hundreds of teens die in car accidents, most of them are between the age of 16 to 19. Most are caused by distraction or being careless. Many teens take take auto safety for granted. It only takes a few seconds for an accident to happen. Most of our children will take driving lessons at school, this will help them learn the rules of the road. Defensive driving is another course you can have your child take, this cuts down on accidents. New drivers should know about awareness on the road and and stay alert. No cell phones while driving. If someone has something to talk or text about then , pull over its not worth your life or anyone else. Teach them about drugs and alcohol. Never drive under any influence,

Many teens in the US are employed part time while also attending high school. Having a license enables these teens to get to and from work, job interviews, or even in some cases become employed in the delivery business. USA Today reports that while 30% of teens have jobs, employment rate is still falling. Increasing the driving age would only decrease the number of teens in the workforce. Surprisingly one third of those teens working, do so to support their family. Without proper transportation these teens would be forced to either miss more school or work less in order to make ends meet while still

“The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16 to 19 year olds than among any other age group.” (Teen Drivers: Fact Sheet 1) “The presence of teen passengers increases the crash risk of unsupervised teen drivers. The risk increases with the number of teen passengers.” (Teen Drivers: Fact Sheet 1) In the United States motor vehicle accidents are the number one cause death in teens. “In 2010, seven teens ages 16 to 19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries.” (Teen Drivers: Fact Sheet 2) This alarming number of casualties could be prevented by educating our teenage drivers prior to them being on their own and operating a couple ton weighing

This would lead to a large amount of traffic in the area. The danger would be increased because of the fact that these are largely inexperienced, teen drivers. You would also risk the teens who don’t have transportation, and decide to walk somewhere for lunch, being hit or injured by these cars”.(crystal lamborado) in a school district of 11,000 students in suffolk county they stopped allowing students to go off campus because of a lunch time car that killed 2 seniors and another

Often time graduate students have a general idea of the type of population they envision themselves working with, either adults or children.

The question of enforcing graduated licensing still remains but fewer people to enforce it with the job becomes easier. An answer for the "enforcement challenge''couldbe to have teenagers put a sticker on their car naming the date of when they can drive with friends. If the car is a parent's car police officers can simply ignore the sticker when the parent is driving. A simple solution but

Teens should not be permitted to drive until they are 18 years old. They should be able to drive on a temporary permit when they are 16 years old and use it until they turn 18 years old. This permit would allow them to drive only during daylight hours and with a parent/guardian. This would enable the young drivers to become more experienced. The eight hours of drivers training with your instructor is not enough. These teens need to get a feel for the road and learn to drive defensively. If you do not know how to operate a vehicle responsibly, it could be used as a deadly weapon. These young drivers are hurting themselves and other innocent people, because of their lack of experience and their irresponsibility.

While researching what effective programs for children, youth, and families look like I came across several interesting concepts. Many of the program's main goal was to empower their participants and make sure that they came out of the program with more knowledge. There were also programs that wanted to teach their participants about safety as well as how to improve their attitudes. There seems to be such a variety in programs but from what I could tell each program really wanted to improve the lives of children and families. All the programs that I looked at had a goal of providing people with helpful information that could further improve their lives.

Identify a need or opportunity for program development or a new area in which to practice:

To develop an effective health education program it requires culturally enhanced programs that are both responsive and relevant. Within my program I would reiterate the importance of self-determination and family accountability. Therefore, this program would be geared toward the neighborhood and all the citizens within its community. The demographic makeup of minority families is traditionally hierarchical which means that elders are held in high regard and very respected. This means in order to receive the community support for the education program, it must be marketed well to the elders of the community. Regarding mental health it is vital that the elder foster a community environment where it is not looked down upon to seek professional

My first reason is that it would be an effective answer to help put an end to these high rates of death among teens. The current legal age of 16 is far too early for a teenager whom is most likely not yet mature enough to put themselves behind the wheel of a car. At the age of 18 that teenager has now become an adult which by this point should have raised enough maturity and wits to know what is right and wrong when behind the wheel. The rates of death among teenagers is shocking yet preventable with such measures put into place. One measure could be requiring more time to practice under the driving permit.

As scholars are constantly reminded to eat a healthy portion of breakfast before testing, most scholars find themselves wondering, “Would eating breakfast really improve my performance?” According to many psychologists, consuming breakfast may have benefits in performance, but to an extent. However, some have also deduced that breakfasts may also harm the performance of scholars. Nonetheless, scholars who eat a healthy breakfast seem to have higher energy levels and ability than those who did not because of the nutrients consumed and absorbed by the body and mind. Consuming breakfasts would have beneficial effects on learning, to an extent; however, the different types of breakfasts could also have detrimental effects as well. The goal of this research is to determine not if breakfasts improve academic performance, but by how much? In addition, to the fact that there are possible “side effects” to this method of improvement, which leads to ask, are all breakfasts healthy? Scholars eating breakfast in order to improve performance may be possible for academic performance. However, if scholars believe and reason over the fact that eating breakfast does improve academic performance, then the effects of school behavior would be tested. Consuming a breakfast does provide nutrients for the body and mind. However, the nutrients provided could only benefit the body and mind to such a limit. Then, there is also the

My target area began as a focus on eating more in general. The food available at PSP was not always ideal, many times the food was either unhealthy or there simply weren’t enough options that I enjoyed. As a result, I noticed that my weight began to significantly decline and I desperately wanted to allay this problem. After completing my log sheets over three weeks, I came to the realization that the bulk of my missed meals came in the morning. I would sleep until eight to make sure that I received adequate sleep, however, I realized that in doing this; I was forgoing breakfast which was negatively affecting my health and my performance at Cornell. In fact, “research involving adults and children has indicated that breakfast might enhance memory, attention, the speed of processing information, reasoning, creativity, learning, and verbal abilities” (Consumer Reports). No matter a person’s age, breakfast is a vital part of their life.
