Ch 4 Journal Topic #2 Dear Son/ Daughter in childhood I will expect you to have an accelerated maturation in the sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational stages in development. I will hope that you have a good temperament as baby and cause little trouble. Before you enter Pre-K I will expose you to a good amount of math and start teaching you the basics to improve cognition of the subject. I observed the same thing being done to my twin sister and she is very good in math. A concern I have is that you will genuinely not like learning and not appreciate education. I hope to pass on that trait to you. I will expect you to try in school from the starting point because I know things will be easier for you if you already have this mindset when …show more content…

My biggest concern is that by the time you reach secondary school and you are in adolescence , it will be exponentially harder than it is now. Although I will still expect you to have good grades and the only subject the I will be lenient towards is math. I want you to follow in my footsteps of taking advanced math courses and even reaching beyond the math classes I took. The punishments that I that I will enforce will be lectures and I will use negative reinforcement to have you keep getting good grades. My mother instilled verbal punishment and I will do the same. I will not help you in school because my mother also did not help me and I think this is a positive thing because I had to learn things on my own from an early age, but I will provide you will tutoring if you need it. My dreams for you are to be a better than me intellectually and in other aspects. I expect you not to be a problematic child that misbehaves and I will require you to have respect for teachers and not be disruptive in class, however you can be argumentative if you are treated unfair. As for your adult life. I do not have an expectation of you having a specific career. I will allow you

    1753 Words  | 4 Pages

    In this study, another relationship between parenting styles and child development is presented. Participants were 7,836 adolescents enrolled in six high schools in San Francisco. They were provided with a questionnaire that included student background information, self-reported grades, parental attitudes and behaviors, and family commutation information. The study included three parenting styles, which were authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative. Each one of the styles were described in the students’ questionnaire. The authoritarian style included the idea that as a response to a bad grade, parents tend to get upset, and when good grades are achieved, parents tell the student to do even better than what they have done. On the other hand, permissive parenting style was described as parents no caring about the students’ grade, and that hard work in school is not important for them. Then, they included authoritative parenting style as supportive parents that praise the student when good grades are achieved and more freedom to make decisions is given, but when poor grades are obtained, freedom is taken away and students are encouraged to try harder and some source of help is

  • Personal Narrative: What Were My Educational Goals

    In my household, from the time I was in Kindergarten, my mother expected academic excellence and nothing less. With her help I was an A student, Science fair grand champion, Young authors winner, Community helpers member, Young academic role model and more. At the age of eleven I lost my mother to Invasive Breast Cancer. Being academically successful was her goal for me and up to that point in her life she instilled the values of education and hard work ethic into me. At that young age I had to decide how I was going to continue being academically successful in school and what were my educational goals for myself. Since that day every school year I ask myself that same question,and this year being my senior year it’s more prominent than ever.

  • Understanding Human Learning and its Link to Addiction

    1008 Words  | 3 Pages

    Humans are always learning new things every day of their lives, whether they are learning how to improve themselves or how the world around them works. They learn what is good and what is bad, what behaviors help increase their chance of survival, and what behaviors help get themselves a certain reward. Whether that reward is something vital to their existence or just brings some form of pleasure, humans will learn or teach others how to achieve that goal. Humans also teach each other what are terrible things to do and what the consequences are for those actions. It is an ongoing cycle that will last forever, parent to child and vice versa. However, how people learn and where they learn it from can cause or be effected by addiction. Certain

  • Strict Authoritarian Parents In Schools

    570 Words  | 2 Pages

    For an adolescent, it is very important to have a strong support system when it comes to their education. A strong support system would consist of a parent or adult figure that would guide the adolescent through their academic journey in a way that is positive and encouraging. Unfortunately, some adolescents have a much harder time getting through school due to their overbearing and strict authoritarian parents. These authoritarian parents typically stress the importance of education and hard work, but they do so in a very harsh and formal way. An adolescent who is the child of an authoritarian parent may recognize that they need to do well in school, but the immense amount of pressure that they receive from their parents may be hindering their potential to do well.

    Naturalistic observation is a way of observing applicants in their own natural environment without the contestants realizing the observers are present. My observation took me to different places and settings to complete my assignment where I observed the subjects’ reactions and further relate it with concepts of psychology. This assignment is going to look into the observation at different settings by watching people as they go about their normal activities in their own habitats, and will briefly describe the concepts of superego, egocentrism, operant conditioning, pretend play, and lack of conservation. These concepts are common between the ages 4-6 years of age. The paper will also analyze the interactions using a reflective approach on the psychology of young children.

  • The Importance Of Intelligence In Education

    1111 Words  | 3 Pages

    We were responsible for managing our homework and schedules. We were not nagged into studying, and did not rely on their reminders to do our work. This was not a burden for me, but a freedom. They encouraged us to put every effort we could into our work, but if we didn’t we were the ones who would bear the consequences. We were punished for never “encouraged” to do well with money or treats. My mother and father emphasized the personal responsibility and consequences of education, instead of using material items as incentives. Because I felt responsible for my education, I wanted to do the best possible. I knew my efforts in school reflected on me personally, and I wanted to do well. I knew that if I could not get A’s in my classes because of a difficulty understanding or learning material, or for other similar reasons, it was fine, but if I only did not get A’s because I did not put effort into my work, it was my fault, my responsibility, and my regret I had to deal with. This understanding and outlook has helped me to do well in school, and motivated me to be a determined, hardworking

    1821 Words  | 4 Pages

    Most children seem to have ideas of what they would like to be when they grow up. The average person walking into any kindergarten class today would find future teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, astronauts, firefighters, and ballerinas; the list is endless. I never had the chance to even dream about what I wanted to be when I grew up and was given little chance to develop my own tastes and ideas towards this goal. I spent my childhood trying to be the good example to my younger brother and sister that my father demanded in his letters. All the while I was hoping and praying that my mother and father would get back together. The only thing I knew was being a mom and that is what I thought I wanted to be.
