Recommended: The Role Of Extended Family

Hello ! This week we had an interesting week. Children learned about the different types of families around the world. We read a book called All Families are Special by Norma Simon. We made a chart on the board in order to help us compare families. They were some family that were similar to our and others that were the opposite. Students also created a family portrait in class. They were responsible of drawing and labeling everyone in their family. Then, they wrote on a piece of paper, how they family was special or important to them. I gave them an example that my family is important to me because they take care of me since I am the youngest one. It was very interesting to hear why their family was special to them. We also compared

  • Only Children Vs. Children with Siblings

    1663 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Topic I decided on is the socialization of children with no siblings versus the socialization of children with multiple siblings. The first question i had was is there a big difference in which children with siblings and children without siblings mature with their socialization? I investigated whether or not the more siblings you have affects your ability to socialize as you mature. I feel it is important to examine this issue because people are not aware how many children they have can affect how there child socializes with others. I myself am a only child and when i was younger found it difficult socializing with others. I used to not know what to say to other children because i did not have the practice that my peers did. I still find myself sometimes thinking if this is okay to say, or thinking a lot about what to say next in the conversation, or when it is my turn to speak. My topic is clearly more focused towards the Sociology discipline. It is more towards sociology because it examines the way people socialize as they get older/mature. I also examined people's cultural and religious background and looked at that information. That information tells me if the way you were brought up or socialized effects why you have the amount of siblings you do, or effects the how comfortable you are with socializing with people. It is also important for society to examine this because it directly effects everyone. Everyone is either born with no siblings or born with them. So for parents want to make a completely conscious decision on whether they want to have one or multiple children, because it will effect their child’s life greatly. For example if parents of only children allow their kids to observe minor parental ...

  • My Family: My Mother, My Role Model

    1007 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many of us have role models in our lives and to most people role models are athletes and movie stars, but to me a role model is much more. To me a role model is a person who has positively influenced someone in life, and is not a person filled with selfishness and greed. They help shape someone’s personality, and characteristics. They are people who someone can look up to for advice in a hard situation, and know that they will give those words of wisdom. They will never judge our past actions, instead only look to help because they really care. A role model is someone who we should never feel awkward talking to about our problems. A perfect role model for me is my mother. She is a wonderful human being. She’s smart, wise, ambitious, patient and such a loving person. There are no words that can describe my gratitude towards her, but through this essay I will describe some of her characteristics that makes her my role model.

  • What Is The Ideal Family Essay

    772 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I read the information covered in this chapter, the biggest impact to students would be recognizing that not every student is going to have the same family type they have. Children come from numerous family settings that are all structured differently. Todays children are growing up in more diverse settings and each of them have their own benefits, as well as problems. Educators need to become more aware of this to prevent bullying between students. Students should be taught not to be mean to one another because their family isn 't ‘ideal’ or perfect. There is no such thing as the perfect family. In a child 's mind, the ‘ideal’ family is having a two-parent household, a mother and a father. Although that may be ‘ideal’, it is not the common family type anymore. Family types
