My support

The first huge support is my children. I am there for my children whenever they need me. I try to spoil them and get them whatever they want because when I was young I got the same treatment from my family. My husband is also a huge support. He is like my best friend. I can talk to him about anything and he is always there for me when I need him. He handles all the bill and he works full time while I focus on my degree. He supports me in whatever I do. Without my cell phone I do not know what I will do. I can access a lot from my cell phone and I need it at all times. Technology is something else because without my computer I would not be able to get a lot of things accomplished neither.

"My Connections to Play"

It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.
Margaret Mead

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
Fred Rogers

 

 

When I was a child play was more of playing with dolls and toys. Children do not play with many toys today, they like to play house interpreting what they see grown ups doing. The role play throughout my life is different from when I was a child. I didn't do or see the things the children do and see now. When I was younger my parents use to play with me and interact with me but now a days majority of the parents do not interact with the children.

Relationship

My number 1 relationship is with my children. They mean the world to me and they always keeps me happy. They know when I am down and they know exactly what to say to bring me back up. They always have a positive attitude towards things which makes me have a positive attitude. My husband and I also have a special bond. He is always there for me when I need him. If it is anything I need him to do he always does it. My relationship with my family keeps me with a positive relationship towards other. Some children do not have a good relationship with their family so I am always there for them to pick up the slack.

Thanks

I want to give everybody a special thanks for being there when I needed them and also for being very helpful. I look forward to seeing you all in many more classes. Thank you very much.

Quotes about children

“Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”

 Rosaleen Dickson quotes

  

 “Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.”

“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them”

Testing for Children

I think that testing for children should be measured. When you test children it is a good way to see where children stand. Children are human beings just like everybody else but some children need a little more help than others. It is best to test a child so that they can get help before it is too late. Children do not know when they need help so it is up to the caregiver to notice it. I had one child in my class that were very smart but they child was very slow of learning. When the child learned the things it stuck with him. By it taking him so long to catch on that when he finally caught on it was too late. We had moved on to another subject. I requested for him to be tested, they tried many ways to see why the child was so slow about learning. It wasn’t that the child had a problem it was that when the children were in a group with children his mind wondered. He had ADHD. He was easily distracted. They had to put him on some medicine that helped calmed him down to learn. When he was on the medicine he was the smartest child in my class. You knew that difference of the days that he took the medicine and the days that he was not given the medicine. It all worked for the best that is why I would choose testing for children over anything.

Consequences of Stress on Children's Development

I had a friend who had a hunger problem. The way my friend coped with that problem is that she tried to drink as much milk as possible because it sometimes kept her full for a while. She also made sure she ate an orange or a grapefruit every day to help her appetite. She also ate soup because soup and bread filled her up very fast.

Sub Saharan Africa has water stress. Water stress refers to economic, social, or environmental problems caused by unmet water needs. Lack of supply is often caused by contamination, drought, or a disruption in distribution. The water that they do get is so contaminated that it is impossible for them to drink. The only thing that will help them is to treat the water. By researching, the water is already being treated. They are doing much as possible. They need more water storage capacity.
