Have you ever turned your back just for a second, only to have something horrible to happen. I was babysitting when it took a turn for the worst as I looked away for a brief moment. It taught me to pay more attention to what’s important. It was a mistake that I will not soon forget. To begin with, it was my first time ever babysitting my cousins. My aunt and uncle went out for the night and called me over to watch my cousins. Jimmy was ten at the time and Jason was seven. We had just finished eating dinner and decided to do something fun. Jimmy wanted us to build a fort in the basement. We gathered up extra blankets and pillows from his room and took them downstairs to make it. We put them in a big pile in the middle of the floor. That’s …show more content…
I decided to go get them while Jimmy and Jason started building the fort. I left the room and grabbed a pillow and two blankets that we dropped at the top of the stairs. When I went back into the basement room, Jason was standing on top of the back of the couch getting ready to jump into the pile of pillows. I yelled for him to stop, but it was too late and he jumped onto the floor. He screamed out in pain and started crying when he landed so I told Jimmy to go get some ice. I took Jason upstairs and sat him on the couch where we watched tv for the rest of the night. His leg was fine, but he had a little scratch on his foot. In summary, what I thought would be the worst night of my life actually taught me a valuable lesson. It made me realize that I should focus on the more important things. It also taught me to never leave children alone, even for a minute. Ever since that night I have never turned my back when I am babysitting even if it’s for a second. I have learned my lesson and won’t make that mistake again. In conclusion, not paying attention while babysitting almost got my cousin seriously hurt. Always pay attention to what is important and don’t focus on the little details. Never again have I turned my back when I’m in
Beyond genetics, parents have an extremely significant impact on the emotional, moral, and social development of their children. This is understandable, as many children interact solely with their parents until they reach school-age. Parents have the ability to determine a child’s temperament, their social abilities, how well-behaved or in control of their emotions they are, how mature and ambitious the child will be, and so forth. (Sharpe) Furthermore, parents have both ideals for their children as well as ideals for themselves, and how they raise their children is deeply influenced by this.
have saved the world of another sad story of a mother abusing and neglecting her
We were traveling thought all the beautiful places and cities in the country. During our vacation, one day we stopped at a restaurant in a small town. As we were eating, my 16-year-old cousin said to me hurry up, finish your meal and we’ll go play outside. I was a little boy just turned six years. I was excited to go play outside with my cousin, so I was the first one to finish with my meal.
I come from a small family of three. My family is composed of my mom, Sandra, my dad, Matt, and myself. We live in the small town of Crawford, Texas. My parents moved to Crawford from College Station, Texas in 1995. I was born in November of 1996, and have lived in Crawford my entire life. My mom and dad have been exceptional role models, and with their love and support, they have shaped me into who I am today.
That night was not only a life lesson in motherhood, but also with everyday life. The best part about the two is that they come from within. There is no price on them, they are a gift, but not just any gift, they are the type of gift that keeps on giving. They spread like wildfire in dry grass.My son must have sensed that I had calmed down and relaxed, physically and mentally, which allowed him to do the same and fall asleep. Patience and love, was all my baby
... child no matter what. I feel like this story has helped me to be open-minded to the various situations that people may face and to not make assumptions. I also feel somewhat prepared for the situations that I may face in the field of social work as I continue to unpack my baggage.
There are several reasons why parents need someone to take care of their children at some point in time. The reason may be a personal one or for the benefit of the child besides which every parent does deserve an occasional break too. In addition to this there are many advantage of letting your child spend time with someone else like a relative or a babysitter. There are many babysitting websites that are make it easy for you when a babysitter is needed. It often happens with parents that then have errands to run or a meeting to attend and fine themselves searching for nannies at the last minute. However, it is a good idea to have some background information about or reviews on the babysitter you hire.
I just have to make sure the house doesn’t burn down while moms gone. Babysitting isn't as easy as it seems. I learned the hard way. Mom asked me to baby sit my little brother and sister once while she went to run a few Arends. I thought ok sure I got this, but I was wrong and would soon find that out later.

I remember being so nervous on my first day of kindergarden. I had no clue what was going on and I didn't speak a lot of English. I was five at the time and I had only learned how to properly speak Spanish a year before that. Transitioning from Spanish to English in a year was very difficult. It was even worse because I didn't know how to count or sing my ABC's, which is basically all we learn in kindergarden. When I got to my classroom I didn't know anyone and I was really shy. I didn't really understand some of the things my teacher would say, but I would just nod my head and pretend I did. That day I started talking to a girl. "Hey do you want to be my friend," she said. "Yeah," I said back. I was so delighted to finally have a friend in
On that fateful day in March, I was a couple months shy of my third birthday. My family and I lived in New Mexico at the time and were renting a house with an outdoor in-ground pool. The day was beautiful. I was outside with my oldest sister Rachel and my father. Rachel was diligently reading curled up on a bench that sat against the house, and my father was mowing the backyard. My mother and my other sister were in the house. Off to one side of the house there was a group of large bushes. I was playing over there with one of her large cooking pots, off in my own little world. At one point while amusing and en...
Childhood is a time when significant events can and will leave impressions on oneself. It is not out of the ordinary that a large event will at least somewhat shape the mind of a child whether they realize it or not. One event that may have altered me somewhat was when I had to move from my old abode of Baileyton, Tennessee to Morristown to live with my grandparents. This was the result of my mother’s eventual passing after a losing battle with Cancer. Experiencing the “real world” so early may have changed how I think about and come to certain conclusions. I do not think this change in my life was necessarily a negative one, as I got to experience a lot of new things that I may have never had the chance to do. Sure, I had to grow up a bit earlier than your usual child, but I also probably reached a stage of maturity before most.
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.
I worked for a friend once, and I thought it was the best decision I had ever made. The job was going to be babysitting her kids as often as she needed. Not just one or two kids, but three children, of various ages. I was a little anxious because it was my first job after high school, but I was excited to get started. Without having any experience with kids, I thought to myself , “How simple it was going to be babysitting three kids” I was wrong. It was difficult, and I gave up so much of my time for this friend without getting much in return. Choosing to babysit a friends children caused so many problems. I would have never imagined my first job experience being so dreadful. Working for a friend was a discouraging experience, because I did not have
