Recommended: Reflection on family life

When I was a preschooler my family was living in a two story house in Mendota, IL right next door to my babysitter, down the street from my cousins, and around the block from my grandmas. Living in our house at the time was Mom, Dad, Gared, and Geofry along with our four dogs, two cats, and a few fish. My bedroom was at the top of the stairs while the boys shared a room at the end of the hall. It was a safe neighborhood and we knew everyone in a three block radius. My parents were very lenient with my siblings and I’s bedtime, therefore I never threw fits when night time rolled around. Geofry and Gared were always the rowdy ones throughout the day and night, but for me, I was only rowdy during the day. My favorite game was backyard baseball or two hand touch football in my cousins, Aaron and Taylor’s , backyard. …show more content…

Since I was always hanging out with the boys some of my favorite toys were what are called “boy toys” like footballs, basketballs, baseballs, or even cars and scooters. I wouldn’t be able to use all five of our fingers to count the windows we shattered throughout the years. My favorite story is the story of the Little Red Hen. My birthday has always fell during winter break, so I never got a big birthday celebration like most kids in preschool. The week before our big Christmas break we would celebrate all the birthdays of the kids who celebrate theirs during the break by bringing in sweets. When I was in preschool, the tradition was to celebrate Christmas Eve at Grandma Ruth’s and Christmas day at Grandma and Grandpa

  • Childhood as Socially Constructed

    709 Words  | 2 Pages

    Childhood as Socially Constructed Social construction is the way that something is created through individual, social and cultural interpretations, perceptions and actions of people. Because the definition and state of childhood has not stayed the same throughout history and varies from culture to culture, it is not possible that childhood is biological, therefore it must have been socially constructed for a particular societies needs at a particular time. The roles of children have changed dramatically in the UK alone in the last four hundred years. Children from the pre-industrialisation era were economic assets to the family. It was vital that they helped provide for the family by working and earning a wage.

    In all honesty, I believe there was only one girl I would play with every now and then in my neighborhood when I was with my birth mother, but I even then I cannot recall her name. I do remember climbing trees with her, but other than that, I do not remember any other games we played together. I can say, though, that I was an easy child to play with. I shared well and I preferred to go with the flow when it came to deciding what game to play.

    I don't have a lot of fantastic memories of childhood. There were no spectacular family adventures, no unique family projects that taught some sort of moral lesson, no out-of-the-ordinary holidays. We ate family meals together, but most of the time the children and adults lived in different worlds. The kids went to school, did homework, and played; the adults worked. I was lucky, though. When I wanted a little of both worlds, I could always turn to Grandpa.

  • Childhood Play Essay

    877 Words  | 2 Pages

    In life, no action is absent of a reaction. Every effect is linked to a cause, whether seen or unseen and play is no exception. As adults, play is not a foreign concept to us, we just chose not to engage in it and have diminutive space for it reserved in our day-to-day schedules. However, it is essential in the lives of young children. In the moment, the benefits to play are invisible, yet they are there working. Play, like a Newton’s cradle, remains stationary while not in use and the energy remains in a potential state waiting to be activated. Now, imagine the Newton’s cradle as you are pulling back the first ball. The first ball is play in a child’s life, and the other balls are potential benefits.

  • Personal Narrative- Playground Memory

    398 Words  | 1 Pages

    Looking back on a childhood filled with events and memories, I find it rather difficult to pick on that leaves me with the fabled “warm and fuzzy feelings.” As the daughter of an Air Force Major, I had the pleasure of traveling across America in many moving trips. I have visited the monstrous trees of the Sequoia National Forest, stood on the edge of the Grande Canyon and have jumped on the beds at Caesar’s Palace in Lake Tahoe. However, I have discovered that when reflecting on my childhood, it is not the trips that come to mind, instead there are details from everyday doings; a deck of cards, a silver bank or an ice cream flavor.

    The preschooler child displays a variety of physical, cognitive, and social abilities that are quite unlike any other age group. To understand this development fully one must first understand how humans come into being. All human life begins with the single interaction of sperm and ovum. This simple collision springs forth new life. One cell becomes two, two cells become four, and so on throughout the organism’s life span. The human life experience is broken down into nine periods of development. These include: the Prenatal Period ranging from conception to birth, Infancy and Toddlerhood ranging from birth to three years, Early Childhood or Preschool ranging from three to six years, Middle Childhood ranging from six to 12 years, Adolescence

  • Personal Narrative- Most Memorable Christmas

    My most memorable Christmas is one from my past. I was about six years old. I clearly remember sitting in class on the last day of school before Christmas vacation anticipating the bell to ring and signify that the classes were finally over. As the bell rang, I ran out of that class, and once I got home I was ready in an instant to leave for my grandmother’s where I would spend my holidays. It was a two hour drive to my grandmother’s house. I was very impatient throughout the entire drive. I couldn’t wait to see my grandma, my cousin, and my aunts. To make things better, however, snow started to fall filling me with hopes of a snowball fight the next day.

  • My Childhood Memories of Christmas

    658 Words  | 2 Pages

    Christmas was always a big event in our family. We always spent Christmas Eve with my father's family and Christmas Day with my mom's. There was always a lot of food and many gifts, but for the first four or five years of my life, I had no clue what we were celebrating. I really don't think I cared too much, being a young child caught up in all the excitement. And I had something to call it. Christmas. That's all I really needed until I stumbled upon a Christmas special on television entitled A Charlie Brown Christmas. I must have been four or five years old at the time, I can't remember for sure, but I don't think I had started kindergarten yet. But I know I was curled up in a Sesame Street sleeping bag in front of our old television set, one of the small older models instead of the giant entertainment centers like we have now.
