Recommended: Positive impact of religion on children

Over the last months, volunteering in my church’s nursery has shaped my outlook and affected me by allowing me to watch how I impact individuals. Helping an adult lead a lesson, spending time with young children, and being a mentor to these children are the tasks of my volunteer role. We encourage the children to participate in activities involving the stories and lessons of Christianity. The importance of my role in this community is to influence the children to make beneficial decisions and understand the message God’s word is conveying to their hearts. Infancy is the stage of life where young children learn how to act by watching the actions of the elder individuals in their lives. My duty includes displaying an attitude and actions

    lcomed and participate in helping in the Christian community to which the parents belong, and they may enjoy doing so, by helping with charity work or doing small tasks in church that can make they feel special. It is also a great comfort to many small children to pray to God, as they can feel more secure and relieve some of their anxieties. So, although I agree that some good can be drawn by introducing children to Christianity, I feel it is wrong to expect from them the level of commitment that being fully Christian means. This is why I think that baptism and confirmation should be left until the child is old enough to make his/her own decision about religious life, whereas I find no wrong in letting children draw good from finding comfort in praying or enjoy making themselves useful by helping out at church.

    It was the summer of 2013 when I was living with my grandparents and they told me about volunteering at the church.

    I spent every spring and summer in middle school doing mission work and community service. I loved the opportunity that it gave me to build relationships and share my beliefs with people I didn’t know. Little did I know that this would pave the way for a life-changing experience that I would encounter one day. Each spring my church would host a missionary event called “The Ignite Project.” I felt an urge to join the group, recognizing that it was a calling to profess my faith in Jesus. These mission trips helped me to go out

    The facility I did my observation at was Tutor Time in Fairfield, and I arrived there at 3:15pm. When I arrived there, I could instantly see that it was a child centered program by the feel of the artwork the kids had made that were on the walls, the passing classrooms and it smelled like sugar cookies throughout the building. It was very quiet in the office area and in the halls when I was walking to the class of preschoolers.

    Toddlers are the epitome of curiosity and energy. From ages 1 – 3, toddlers are always on the go and want to learn about everything in their world. As with infants, no two are alike; each toddler is unique in his or her developmental stages, and each accomplishes milestones at different times. “Although children develop at different rates, there are common stages of development that serve as guidelines for what most children can do by a certain age” (Groark, McCarthy & Kirk, 2014). As seen in the hatfieldmomof3 (2011) video, one observes toddlers at play and can determine the age of the toddlers by their actions and the milestones they have accomplished.

    I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby girl named Luna. Jeffrey has taken quite a liking to being a big brother. He likes to hold and rocker her and helps with feeding her. Jeffrey is still a slow-to warm child. He can communicate fairly well and is now using mostly complete sentences and seems to understand most of what I say. He occasionally makes errors of overregularization. He has taken an interest in music and singsongs even though he usually repeats a certain part a lot. I encourage this by taking him to local performances of children’s musicals. Jeffrey has learned the routines pretty well and is reasonably cooperative for his age. He is rarely aggressive to adults or other children. Jeffrey’s fantasy play has become more elaborate and sometimes includes superheroes or cartoon

    Imagine a young child, in a bright colored shirt, calmly sitting on a bench in a park; everyday the same child is at the park with a chocolate ice cream cone melting in the sun. Finally, on the seventh day of observing this child, something different occurs. He no longer sits patiently on the park bench waiting for his ice cream to melt; instead he runs from the “monsters” that hide in the trees that line the public park; as he shouts spells that ward off the chasing “creatures” he laughs loud enough for everyone to hear; furthermore, the chocolate that once covered his small hands now acts as a mask for his round smiling face. This idea of a person acting out their imagination and being completely spontaneous coincides with the beliefs of

    Maturation is one of those stages that everyone has to go through, and during the adolescent years is when most of these changes begin to happen. People between the ages of 13 to 18 start to figure out who they really are and what they identify as, as well as what their personal beliefs and opinions about everything are. However, adolescents also make poor decisions once in a while, such as what time they go to bed every night.

    My observation for the elementary aged child was with a seven-year-old female that is in the 2nd grade. “Lara” is a family friends daughter, but I have never been able to spend one-on-one time with her until this observation. For the observation I was able to go over to her house and play/observe as we sat in the living room. We were able to interact and play for about thirty minutes. While I observed her, I took notes and got the opportunity to talk to both of Lara’s parents. In the living room I noticed the PlayStation and rock band set next to the TV that Lara and her brother play. When I got there Lara was playing UNO with her brother on the living floor. This definitely gave me the impression that Lara is a bright young girl and can understand

    When I think about the meaning of community organizing, I recall a selective memory of my elementary school years. I recall being in Zamora, Michoacan and the teacher telling us that one of our classmate father just passed away. As I just want to point out that the elementary school was on the outskirts of Zamora, and everyone knew each others family. Personally, I knew the señor Francisco Peña but knew him as Don Pancho, he was the carnicero in the area of Valenica. Thus, as I heard the news, soon the community knew as well; we knew that the family Peña didn’t have the money to cremate their loved one. Eventhough he was a carnicero, Don Pancho was a humble community member, he had given food to the majority of the community for free. Since
