My Support My Family is my number one support and my relationship with my family has made me who I am today. Without my family, I would not know how to interact with people, or how to show love, a key to any relationship, and compassion. My strong and supportive family has also made me a more self-confident individual. Going through high school could easily have been some of hardest years of my life, but I was lucky enough to find a deep connection with my family. I have learned from family, laughed with family, and grown from family, and I hope that someday I can teach and support others the way my family has me. I am part of mom’s group in the facebook. As a new mom or as the mother of more than one child, support from other women can be key to success during the early days with a newborn. Positive encouragement and reassurance from other mothers helped me meet my breastfeeding goals, Then there are times when i can’t figure out exactly what my son needs or he cries...

My connection to Play My two items from my childhood When I think of play, I imagine myself in my grandparent’s garden with my cousins playing with dirt and pretend I am the mother and they are my kids. We weren’t fortunate enough to have toys like the kids have now. We would create our own games without any toys available and would get mom and dad help to let me use their things to use it during my play. Dramatic play is fantasy play and I remember it was my favorite type of play. I imagine myself like dressing up in costumes, pretending to be different characters, using toys to represent characters in stories, and creating imaginary settings. Some examples of manipulative play are using small toys like blocks or Legos to build objects, putting together puzzles, and making bead necklaces. Physical play is another play I can imagine myself doing it, such as riding bikes, balls, jump ropes, hoops, and play structures.
Relationship Reflection The success of any relationship relies on one's ability to communicate well. Communication is important in relationships as it allows us to share our interest, concerns, support each other; organize our lives and make decisions; and it allows us to work together. Effective communication is based on the way we talk and listen, how we respond and our body language. We can all learn how to improve the way we communicate. A relationship is a connection between two or more people. In our lives, we have many different kinds of relationships with our family, our friends, our teachers and our neighbors. With my husband I share romantic relationship and it is different type of relationship than the others because it’s less formal. We are also partners; therefore, we make discussions together. We have a healthy relationship based on respect, trust and communication The relationship with my husband is fun, wonderful, fulfilling and can be complicated sometimes...
Testing For Intelligence I do not think that Standardized Testing correctly measures a student’s intelligence or academic level. Every one is different, and some test well, while others may not test as well. While they may differentiate as to a grade and tell whether or not you move on to the next grade, everyone learns at their own pace and processes things differently. I believe that it puts too much pressure and stress on students to do good on those tests like the SAT, ACT tests, etc. I don’t feel like you can gain anything from taking those tests because most of the questions that are on the test are the ones that you’ve never seen before or you’ve never even learned about in school. It shouldn’t have to play a role on smart the student is or determined their abilities. If I was the leader of the state’s Department of Education, I would advocate fewer standardized tests so that it doesn’t put a lot of pressure on the students to do well on them. In china China, all s...
Consequences of Stress on Children's Development Early childhood trauma generally refers to the traumatic experiences that occur to children aged 0-6. Because infants' and young children's reactions may be different from older children's, and because they may not be able to verbalize their reactions to threatening or dangerous events, many people assume that young age protects children from the impact of traumatic experiences (Berger, 2016). When young children experience or witness a traumatic event like war, sometimes adults say, "They're too young to understand, so it's probably better if we don't talk to them about it." However, young children are affected by traumatic events, even though they may not understand what happened. In childhood, neurons and neural pathways that get used are strengthened in the brain, whereas those that are not used die out. The brain is like a muscle. It requires frequent repetitive use and stimulation ...
