Kids don’t usually pretend to be something they are not. They play games stress free, pull faces when confronted with brussel sprouts, and love their family and friends with their whole hearts. We can all learn from this, because when you aren’t wasting energy worrying about what others think, our lives could change for the better. My experiences have taught me this.
During the summer of 2013, I joined the Tiger Sharks summer swim team. I had been on other summer teams before, but I was different this year. The whole summer, I was in my childlike state - I was really outgoing, energetic, and unapologetically myself. I made a bunch of new friends and we had an amazing time, standing on the rough, hot concrete, eating sticky sweet popsicles and swimming constantly in the unheated pool. When I was happily

I am still interested in unicorns and cupcakes. In fact, I recently got a sparkly golden unicorn lamp for my room and I feel a little spark of joy every time I see it there.
Seeing the world through a child's eye does not necessarily limit your creativity- in fact it can expand it. One of my favorite shows is Gravity Falls which on the surface seems aimed at preteens and children. In fact it is a wonderful and complex creative effort that appeals to all ages.
Being childlike in my opinion is expressing exactly how you feel. You don't have to throw a temper tantrum in the middle of Trader Joe’s because they don’t have your favorite cookie, but kids are so willing to tell you how they feel and why, even if it’s not reasonable. This kind of openness is something I strive for every day.
When it comes to being sophisticated, I can be adult-like and well mannered. But if I had to act that way everyday, I would be completely exhausted. Most people frown upon having child like interests and being less than professional, but I am here to make friends and enjoy
Though children are not as innocent as they seem they still hold a close place in their parents heart. They are also human just like everyone else. They know the difference between black and white and right and wrong. The survival of the fittest instinct is something that every creature on this planet has. The weak one always loose. The book showed this well.
I decided one random night that I wanted to be more active and make more friends so I asked my mom if I could join the field hockey team to which her response was a surprised look followed with “seriously?” next thing you know i'm in patient first getting a physical for a fall sport. I am glad that I joined field hockey because now I feel like I am more productive than I would have been if I just went home after school and sat around until I went to dance class. Another thing that I did this year that is out of my comfort zone is that I joined pantherette. Last year I wanted to join but my nerves got the best of me and I got to nervous to go to the meetings. However, this year I decided that I should try it and try something new. Although, if i'm being honest i'm still kind of nervous at the idea of someone reading something I
Programs for young children are great because they allow children to learn in a fun and interactive way. However, it causes inactivity. Inactivity is not the only downside of children’s programs. Programs for young children may cause them to struggle to separate fantasy from reality in their daily lives (Feldman). I choose Blue’s Clues, Doc McStuffins and Sesame Street to analyze. These three shows catches children attention by the colors, characters, and storyline.
As a child, there are many things that affect a view, memory, opinion, or attitude. Children have many of their own daily struggles to cope with, as peer pressures are an example.
I love children. I enjoy talking, playing, guiding, and caring for them. I don’t want to stifle their promise for doing well in school and life by forcing developmental growth on them. Rather, I want children to learn by doing what they love—play. I want to facilitate their learning in ways that will both pleasurable and appropriate to their level. I want to be someone they will trust, respect and enjoy....
As most adults know, children have their own way of thinking about things. Think about it: For an average of eight hours everyday, five days a week, children must sit in a classroom in chairs and listen to a teacher talk. Most students probably feel trapped and tired of doing the same thing every day,
The Effects of Gravity There are some people who worry when they're outside, if they don't keep a good grip on the ground, they'll just go flinging off into space. They needn't really worry. about this, because gravity generally keeps that sort of thing from happening. The thing is, no one is really sure what causes gravity, but the effects have been studied by many. physicists and astronomers of the world.
Imagine diving into a refreshing, cool pool, rushing with adrenaline, and racing your heart out to beat the older girl or boy next to you. You come up off of the second wall with the best turn in your life. Next, You try your absolute hardest without taking a single breath. Then, you hit the wall like it is a punching bag, only to look up and see that you broke your record by three seconds! You hop out of the pool and are congratulated by our great friends and coach, knowing for a fact that you will never forget this experience. I have had this fantastic experience before, which is why swimming is my natural high.
egocentric nature in the child can be seen in their interaction with children and their speech.
Being the girl always being thrown in the air wasn’t always effortless, putting forth the time and energy in order to make sure I hit everything perfect was definitely a challenge. With being a team we had to help each other out through the exhausting and hard times. Our couch became a father figure, my teammates turned into my family, and the cheer moms were the shoulder to cry on regarding the stressful spans. I am fully aware that stress comes with every sport however, this is a team filled with many dramatic girls that are performing the most dangerous sport in the world. Bonding with my cheer friends somehow improved our relationship on the matt, we spent several nights by a campfire, jamming to music, and being silly. Having lifelong true friends to achieve your goals with is an unexplainable feeling that comes with this
I believe children need to be children while growing up in their early years. I believe they need to enjoy their young lives playing, growing, and having fun with their siblings, and friends. I believe they need to enjoy playing with their dolls, their toy trucks, their tricycles, their crayon art work, their tea parties, and their little green army men. I believe they should have the opportunity to play in the snow, ride their bikes, go camping, and fish.
...ally acquire adult knowledge. Children are beautiful because they possess something that we have all lost – the quality of innocence. “We wish to keep adult knowledge from children because for all if its reality, too much of it too soon is quite likely dangerous to the well-being of an informed mind.” - Postman
In today's society there has been many changes that have taken place. Kids feel more comfortable expressing who they want to be. Boys can play with dolls and girls can play with cars or action figures. Letting a child choose their own identity is the first step to help them
However, I will not give immediate assistance during tasks. I will also promote positivity, and encourage them to think about things on the positive side. I will also give them examples of how things can be positive and negative at the same time, and then ask them to come up with their own examples (promote self-evaluation). To add, I will also assess their family background and received parenting style if possible, and see if it influences they way children’s temperament (Hockenberry, 2014b). On the other hand, according to Kohlberg’s theory of moral development, grade 5 students are at level 2 (Conventional stage) , and they are experiencing good boy/nice girl orientation and having law and order morality. They make decisions based on what actions will please others, especially authority figures (teachers & popular peers) and they are often concerned about maintaining relationships through sharing, trust, and loyalty. They also take other people 's perspectives and intentions into account when making decisions. In addition, they know rules are necessary for keeping society running smoothly and believe it is their "duty" to obey them. However, they perceive rules to be inflexible (rules do not change as the society change) (McDevitt, & Ormrod, 2010). According to Piaget’s theory of moral development, grade 5 children have autonomous morality, and they becomes aware that rules and laws are created by people; in judging an action, one should consider actor’s intentions as well as consequences. Also, they expect immanent justice (if a rule is broken, punishment will be applied immediately) (Santrock, 2007). In art workshop, a child said“ look, you could do it this way” to one of his classmates and offered help after he finished his own painting. All of them said“ thank you" after I helped them. They also had a clear understanding when the teacher said“ no talking or no chrome
Swimming has been my whole life, since I jumped into the pool for the very first time. I loved every aspect of swimming from the adrenaline running through my body during my races and getting to spend even more time with my friends and my sister, and the stress of big meets coming up in the schedule. Except everything didn't go according to plan after the first day of school when I got home and I saw my parents sitting by my sister on the coach and my sister was crying.
