Concern 2: During the free play time, when Luke is faced with the distressful or unexpected events, he frequently displays emotional outburst as severe as crying out loud instead of being calm and solving the problems. My Hypothesis: Luke’s emotional outburst when faced with the distressful or unexpected events is resulted from his not receiving enough attention from the teachers to proactively give him individualized support and emotional coaching in order to prevent the same situation from happening over and over again. Evidence: Luke is emotionally unstable and incompetent in coping with his negative emotions when distressful and unexpected things happen to him during the free play time. For instance, when his peers accidentally broke …show more content…
It is without doubt that Mrs. Y and Mrs. Z play the most important role in noticing Luke’s reoccurring patterns of behavior and came up with strategies to teaching him how to cope with such situations. Yet neither of them responded to Luke’s emotional needs both during and after the three similar accidents. They just let similar things happen over and over again, which indicates that the teachers’ level of sensitivity and responsiveness is rather …show more content…
During one of my conversations with Mrs. Z, I learned that the transition is not easy for Luke. Before he upgraded to our class, he was the eldest child in the toddler class, who was far more competent in every aspect than his peers. Nevertheless, his role in my class has been completely shifted—he becomes the youngest child in the class and is often ignored by his elder peers. To become part of the class, he subconsciously imitate whatever other kids do but fails to distinguish what are the “right” and “wrong” things to do. However, Luke is not the one to blame because the teachers have never made it clear to him what are their expectations for the desired
She didn’t wake up every morning, happy to go to the school and learn more things, instead she felt terrified wondering what was going to happen to her. Some days were not as bad like the others but there was some days that Melba could've really got hurt but she always found a way out without getting too injured. Kids just kept taunting her every moment of the day and the worst part was the teachers didn’t do anything about it. Even though they know she is a child too and that they should care that because she could get badly hurt and it would be the teacher's fault because they didn’t do anything about it or to stop
Mental illness in the classroom has become an issue that is important for teachers, not just parents, to look out for. According to Cinda Johnson, “Studies indicate that 1 in 5 adolescents have some sort of serious emotional, behavioral, or mental health problem”(Johnson). When adolescents spend half of their days in school, it is important that their teachers take the time to notice unusual signs their students may be showing them. Teachers have the opportunity and the influence to help students work toward a better future. In Graziano’s article, however, the teacher’s influence was spun the wrong way and led to mistreatment of the six-year-old boy and his learning disability. Johnson explains, “Effective teachers are “responsive to students’ problems and…emphasize reciprocity and the value of their students’ perspectives and feelings”(Johnson). The issue of disability in the classroom coincides with the issue of teacher and student trust in the classroom. In both articles there...
Daisy lacks self confidence which made it harder to raise her fifteen year-old son Donny. There were many instances where Daisy pondered on what she can do better to help Donny in school, but as she put forth an effort, she always resisted. “She remembered when Amanda was born. Donny had acted lost and bewildered. Daisy had been alert to that of course, but still, a new baby keeps you busy of course….”(570) When Daisy saw this happening, she never stopped to reassure Donny that even though he had a sister, it was not going to change their relationship. Daisy should have reassured her son by correcting the problem as soon as it surfaced, then Donny should have understood. When Donny started to have problems in school, Daisy gave up without trying, and let a tutor dictate her son’s activities especially when the teacher questions Daisy about Donny’s actions, Daisy replied, “Oh I’m sorry, Miss Evans, but Donny’s tutor handles these things now…” (572) In school Donny’s behavior changed soo drastically that he started to stay out late and Daisy just sat back and let this happen. “The tutor had sat down so many rules![She] were not allowed any questions at all about school, nor were to speak with his teachers…,Only one teacher disobeyed…”(572) Because Daisy didn’t believe in herself or her word, she let others control and therefore his behavior worsened.
...ription of his foster parents, his foster siblings, are less than objective. I anticipate finding that his symptoms of anxiety attacks, fear of accomplishment, panic over being successful, fear of abandonment, can be interpreted as outward manifestations of unconscious conflicts that have their origins in childhood experiences and defensive reactions to these experienced that were necessary to him as a child.
When Christopher lands himself in jail after a misunderstanding, his father is furious and yells at him. Rather than yelling back, Christopher thought to himself, “I could tell that he was angry because he was shouting, and I didn’t want to make him angry so I didn’t say anything else until we got home” (Haddon 21). Taking the time to observe the situation and think through how to respond helps Christopher stay calm and not further anger his father. Children with disorders like
In terms of the Ainsworth experiment, the child plays very little when the caregiver was present, but when the caregiver stepped out of the room the child cried and grew very anxious. However, upon the return of the caregiver the child was still inconsolable for longer than what was deemed normal (Ashford 2013, 267). Caregiving in this type of attachment is inconsistent and unpredictable, which increases the child’s anxiety and own self consciousness. This child’s self consciousness is reflected in their constant need to know where they stand with the parent, they become very clingy in order to attempt to establish a solid relationship with the caregiver. This insensitive and inconsistent caregiving also is interpreted by the child to mean that they are ineffective in securing love and relationships with
Luke Timothy Johnson uses Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church in order to make a strong point that when studying both Luke and Acts as a unit, rather than reading the canonical order in the Bible, gives us one of our best prophetic looks at the Church for all ages. By presenting this point Johnson hopes to light a fire in our churches of today by using the prophetic works of Luke, so that we as Christians will attend to the ways that Christ intended the church to be. In Johnson’s introduction he states that it is not wrong to study Luke and Acts separately as there are many ways to study the scripture, nevertheless it is wrong to look at Luke and see the prophetic ways of Jesus, and then looking at Acts as non-prophetic. Through seeing Luke’s

I was able to make many connections to familiarities in my personal life and in my career as an educator. The article facilitated a personal reflection of my experiences with loved ones, or students, whom portrayed similar behaviors that were identified as the mannerisms of emotionally abused individuals. Difficult students in my class and in our school, exhibit nearly all of the behaviors addressed in the article, which allowed me to construct many commonalities for the reasons of their behaviors. Furthermore, applying the saying, children learn what they live, was insinuated in one particular study; “a child expects others to treat him or her in the same way that they have been treated” (Wright, 2007). For instance, if a child is taught “to be worthy of love, care, and respect”, then he or she is more susceptible to anticipate equal treatment from others whom they have formed relationships with including friends, teachers, or other adults (Wright, 2007). Additionally, children who have been subject to emotional abuse devise a threatened sense of security and develop a skewed sense-of-self (Wright, 2007). Victimized children have internalized that they are; “flawed, defective, shameful, and unlovable”; and that the adults responsible for their protection are; “untrustworthy, capable of abandonment, abusive, and will not care or meet their basic needs” (Wright, 2007). In effect, a child’s abilities to form healthy and satisfying relationships later in life will be altered (Wright, 2007). The above descriptions clarify that many of my experiences from teaching, are direct implications of emotional abuse in childhood. Students who act out and cause disruptions are gaining attention the only ways that they know how. I have often felt like there has been a sufficient need to “retrain” these students and undue the conditioning that
Luke was too young to remember, but Ashley vividly remembers being taken from her mother and separated from her brother all within the same day. Throughout the book, both kids were placed in multiple foster homes. Ashley only wanted to be reunited with her mother so she controlled herself and usually did what she was told in order to stay out of trouble. Luke was the total opposite. One of the many placements Ashley and Luke were in were with the Moss family. Mr. and Mrs. Moss were verbally and physically abusive to all the children living under their care. Ashley remembers there were times kids were forced to drink hot sauce. Ashley also remembers that Mrs. Moss would hold Luke down in the bathtub full of water, almost drowning him. Ashley did everything she possibly could to avoid these punishments, but Luke was constantly causing problems to where he kept receiving more and more of the same punishments, or even worse. Ashley is always worried about Luke because he can not seem to get himself out of trouble, and worries that he will not be adopted if he doesn’t learn how to act. In the sequel to the memoir, Three More Words, Ashley is now an adult in college. Luke was adopted by a single man in the military. Luke calls Ashley one day saying that he wanted to leave because his adoptive father had sold his pet horse. Ashley
The detailed gospel of Luke is written to Theophilus, (meaning, loved by God) by Luke, a Gentile doctor who was a possible slave and close companion to Paul. Luke wrote to Theophilus to prove with certainty that Jesus is God. The book of Luke, showed Jesus as God who paid attention to the women, the weak and the poor, and Luke noted detail before the miracles and after including the reaction of the crowds, which he described with the words, astonished, amazed, and wonder. Luke carefully researched as written in Luke 1:1-4, Jesus through the eye witness of the disciples and the intimate voice of Mary, as he retold her song of Praise in chapter 1:46-55.
The book of Luke was said to have been written somewhere around the time of 60 A.D. the book was written to tell the story of Jesus life (Fairchild M. 2014). Luke was a historian and a medical doctor we learned this through (Colossians 4:14) (Fairchild M. 2014). He was very specific and used great detail when writing the Gospel of Luke; he recorded the events and their dates very precisely. It was said that Luke did allot of research and spoke with the disciples as well as other eyewitnesses to the life of Christ (Fairchild M. 2014).The only author that is known to the Gospel of Luke was Luke himself, Luke was of Greek heritage and we know that he was the only Gentile Christian author of the New Testament (Fairchild M. 2014).
Unity and Diversity in Matthew and Luke Matthew and luke paint a unique portrait of jesus christ. Each provides special insight into who he is and what he accomplished. They exhibit unity, by bearing witness to the same jesus and diversity, by viewing him from multiple varied perspectives. The originality of the text is also derived through the book Mark and the “Q source.” So because of Mark and the Q source the different views with which Matthew and Luke approach their narratives differ and influence the ways they talk about the perception of Jesus in God’s personality and the story of Christ’s birth.
Luke 15: Beyond the prodigal son " And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine" The above verse in Luke chapter 15 is from the very popular story of the prodigal son. Interestingly though, in the above passage, the father was talking to the elder brother who never went away. More often than not, emphasis is mostly laid on the experience of the prodigal son who went away - his fall from grace to grass and subsequent 'triumphant' return home and rightly so.
Often time as a parent we create more problem for our children by not letting them fall or not letting them feel unhappy. In Dan Kindlon, a child psychologist and lecturer at Haarvard, warns against what he calls our “discomfort with discomfort” in his book Too Much of a Good Thing Raising Children of Charter in an Indulgent Age. “If kids can’t experience painful feelings, Kindolon told me when I called him not long ago, they won’t devlop “psychological immunity.” (The Atlantic
