At some stage during the film uniforms are seen for police officers, prison wardens and postmen. We can immediately see the difference from what their like at this present time. The hairstyles in the film are very dated in comparison to the modern styles, which are around today. Most of the women’s hair is seen as permed and the men’s is short and smart. The transport that is used throughout the film would have had to be made into what it would have looked like in 1952. In the first scene of ‘Cheerio’ the audience can see a police car that is very dissimilar to any around in today’s society.

When the producers of ‘Let Him Have It’ were filming outside in public places they would have had to make sure that the period detail for the film was in place so that they could achieve the right affect. In ‘Let Him Have It’ when Mr Bentley wonders outside his house into the street, we can tell that there must have been some radical transformations. The cars are old and there are very few of them about. We can see somebody travelling on a bike, showing that this form of transport was much more widely used. The milk is being delivered by a horse and cart and the street lamps are very old fashioned.
Topic: family

These alterations are of great significance because it brings all of the film together and makes the story more realistic for the audience. The di?? cor, which has been created for this film, makes the setting even more true to life. The inside of the prison and Derek’s house represents what they would have looked like back in that period of time. The colours are dull and a lot of floral patterns are used. The piano in the corner of Derek’s house creates an image of the family gathered around it making their own entertainment and the photographs around the house are all black and white as colour pictures wouldn’t have been available.

All of the special FX which have been mentioned, combine together to produce a naturalistic representation of a story which occurred in the 1950’s. Without any of these features the film wouldn’t have been as dramatic and effective. Editing is the process, which selects and organises the shots in a film to make it more interesting and dramatic for the audience. Throughout ‘Let Him have It’ the use of editing prevents continuous shots and is an effective way of getting peoples attention. This is shown in the first scene, when a shot outside the prison is immediately connected with a close up shot into Iris’ eye.
Topic: family

It makes the audience aware of the impact that surprising shots have and how they keep you engrossed in the film. Editing is also used to give the audience a better understanding of the set as it helps them to see things from different camera positions. When Derek’s father is waiting in the House of Commons to hear a response about the appeal, he is standing all alone in a huge entrance hall. The immensity of this room is shown by the arrangement and complexity of different camera angles. The audience start to emphasise with Mr Bentley as it creates the feeling of isolation; such a small and bewildered man compares to the size of the hallway.
Topic: family

‘Let Him Have It’ also uses editing to show the emotions of characters as others are speaking. In the film, when Derek is dictating a letter to one of the prison officers, the different shots make it possible to see both of them separately as Derek is speaking. We, as an audience, can see sympathetic expressions from the officer, and we start to realise how Derek’s presence has an immediate affect on how people perceive the case. Suspense and anticipation are also the result of specific editing.
Topic: family

Near the end of the film there are a number of scenes with a very short time duration, which keeps the audience alert and creates excitement in the conclusion. Tension increases as the shots keep skipping from two different sets. This is shown in the film as Derek is saying his prayers prior to the execution. The film continually goes back to the scene of Derek’s grieving family, so that the audience can see what two groups of people are doing at the same time. The emotion accumulates for the viewers as they watch how the family deals with the situation alongside Derek’s terror and loneliness.
Topic: family

As Derek’s execution is approaching, the film frequently cuts to the scene of a ticking clock. This is a very important symbol of Derek’s remaining life and it makes the audience more enthralled in the rest of the film. ‘Let Him Have It’ is a brilliant reconstruction of the real life case of Derek Bentley. Peter Medak, the director, successfully portrays the innocence of a brain-damaged teenager by showing a legal system less concerned with justice than proving itself correct. Medak secures the audiences sympathy for Derek Bentley by creating an emotional and compelling interpretation of events.
Topic: family

It’s put in our minds that family means having a father, mother, siblings, grandfather, grandmother, etc. It’s basically having a complete family. But what does family really means? In the movie Lilo and Stitch they describe family as someone who sticks together; “Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind”. Families are much more than just groups of individuals. Your family is the place where you learned to enhance and use your abilities, and to recognize and deal with the bigger world.
Topic: family

We should cherish our family especially our parents whom dedicated their life in taking care of us. They spent long restless nights putting us into bed and changing our diapers. It’s just right to return their hard works with gratitude. So, you see how important family is for all of us. Although there are a vast number single parents in our country that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are a broken family. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be happy because sometimes it’s better being a broken but happy family rather than being a complete family who always argue.

Define the term sensitive periods and link them appropriately to the child’s first stage of development. Explain how you would support these sensitive periods during this first crucial stage. In this essay I will define the term sensitive periods linking it with stage of development, I will also outline the importance of these periods , the consequences of not recognising it, and finally how we can support children in this crucial time. “A sensitive periods refers to a special sensibility which a creature in its infantile state, while it is still in a process of evolution”.
Topic: family

In each period children are especially sensitive to a specific characteristic in his/her environment. They have this “inner power horme” (Montessori, 1966) which enables them to choose and explore necessary objects and relationships from their environment, for their intellectual growth. All of those periods are very specific and unique for a child development. If he/she will not be able to satisfy his/her needs during those periods the opportunity ” of a natural conquest is lost and its lost for good” (Montessori, 1966, p.
Topic: family

9) These periods are transitory and it last only for as long as is necessary for a child to accomplish a particular stage of development. There is three stages of development identified by Montessori are infancy (birth to six years), childhood ( six to twelve years), adolescence (twelve to eighteen). The first one is the most crucial in child life. The child now wants to master the environment, always busy doing something The process by which the child absorb knowledge of his/her environment is explained through Montessori book
Topic: family

This unconscious absorption will be stored in the child’s “mneme” supreme type of memory which store impressions and from this it will be build conscious mind from the age of three. This unconscious stage is what (Montessori, 2007a) described as a “psychic life” or ” spiritual embryo” which is present even before birth. Montessori said ” He learns everything without knowing it, and he passes little by little from unconscious to conscious”(Montessori, 2007, p. 4) Montessori names both of those stages of development an ” absorbent mind”( Montessori, 2007a), as there will be no other in a mans life when he acquire with love the understanding of his environment and adaptation to life in such natural way with all the potential energies he is born with. There are six mains sensitive periods identified by Montessori in the first plane of development. These are the sensitive periods for order, movement, sensory refinement, language, small objects and the social aspect of life. The first of these focuses around “order”.
Topic: family

This emerges soon after birth and continues on till child reaches the age of three years. This period is characterised by a desire for consistency, repetition and established routines. As Montessori points out, “Order is one of the needs of life which, when it is satisfied, produces a real happiness… “(Montessori: 1966; 52). Within the sensitive period for order lies two sub-categories internal order – how the child perceives the world and routines in the child’s life. External order- its awareness his/her environment and his/her relationship with it.
Topic: family

Children in that age have the need for routine and consistency to be able to orientate in their environment. They learn everything has its own place and they happily undertake any activities linked with that observation. I witnessed an exampled of this when there was tidy up time. Few of the children were putting toys at the wrong place. One girl of the class became distressed over this and began explaining that this is a wrong place. She knew that these toys didn’t belong to the shelf. Sensitive period for order had been disrupted. The other sensitive periods to consider are the refinement of the senses.
Topic: family

The way the children can find out abut their environment at this stage is through their senses. By looking, smelling, hearing, touching child learn differences in sensory stimuli. A child brain react different to each sense stimuli and helps him/her to find out which stimuli is more important, which is relevant. this helps in preventing their nervous system from being over-stimulated. The activities used within a Montessori environment to develop this include such things as weights, colours, grading, matching, shapes, sounds, smells and taste.
Topic: family

During his/her playtime outside (smelling flowers, picking up leaves or small stones) and in a classroom. The place should provide enough sensorial materials for children to get them started in recognised different sense stimuli, sorting, pairing. This bring us to the sensitive period of the language it is from 7 months up to 5. 5 to 6 years of age. There are three forms of language from spoken language, to written language and reading. This is an important part of a child’s life to be able to use words to communicate and its learnt very easily at this time.
Topic: family

Preparing the environment for spoken language includes reading to the child and providing opportunity for your child to express his/her needs feelings. There are also many helpful toys that require explaining or speaking that we can provide as picture cards songs, electronic speaking toys play rhyming games together, sing songs. Writing process child begins to practice around 3,5 of age and to practice this there are materials such as colouring and tracing books. To allow the opportunity for reading we should rather read with a child, rather than just reading to him/her.
Topic: family

Beginning with simpler reading materials that encourage and boost confidence in child before moving on to phrases or sentences. The other sensitive periods is movement. Children must be able to move around in their environment in order to learn about surroundings and form relationships and gain independence. The environment should be prepared to give opportunities for the child to crawl pull up and walk and run providing materials and toys visits to the park and outdoors activities. Child will learn those skills through repetition also increasing concentration and co-ordination.
Topic: family

Once a child has begun to move about freely, we may observe a fascination for small objects. As mobility increases, so too the desire to explore. They have the desire to explore, which leads them to a better understanding of their surroundings and develop senses. At this periods their gross motor skills and eye-to- hand coordination is rather well developed and allows them to meet their exploration as well as their hand coordination with smaller objects. Recently a girl in my class noticed a pendant on my neck, and developed a great interest to the point I had to take it off she reached for my hand and started to inspect the pendant closely.
Topic: family

Space must be provided as well as outdoor activities. which will also encourage sensitive period for small objects. this enables them to explore their environment and improve their eye-to-hand co-ordination and senses and begin to make sense of their world, a world which, generally, is designed for the use of adults. At the age of 3 children become more physically independent, they are also able to respond to language. They become conscious of their environment and start to be interested in other people. They start to learn manners and social skills in order to fit in the new environment.
Topic: family

They have the inner need for contact with others and co-operate with them. This is a sensitive periods for social aspects of life. In my nursery I can witness many examples where children likes to do many activities together like organise dolly tea time, reading, singing they love to talk and help each other. Teaching manners and acceptable behaviours during this periods give children the ability to develop their social skills. They are interested in other people and those skills help them in mixing with others and cooperate with them. This builds up their confidence and openness towards different ideas and ways of working.
Topic: family

The emergence of this sensitive period coincides with the onset of the social embryo. The second stages of development children are mentally and physically independent and they can explore everything without limits in right environment. They organise social group and wants to understand world around them. There is also a time for physical strength. In the third stage physical, psychological, social changes appearing. There is a instability and difficulties in concentration, doubts, violent emotions of this age and the sense of justice and dignity.
Topic: family

It’s a transition time from childhood to adults. Knowledge of these sensitive periods helps the teacher to organise the environment and support the child physically and psychically, in which he/she can develop their skills. The activities and materials should be freely chosen and repeated to his/her needs and age. Each sensitive period is a unique time in a child’s life, when he /she absorbs everything with a tremendous speed, That’s why it is important that we, adults can help them to meet their needs at those stages, as soon as they appear.
Topic: family

To explore and orientate better in the environment a child needs lots of freedom as well as order. Not recognizing those needs can manifest in tantrums and other negative behaviour.. As Montessori said:” A child’s first tantrums are the first ills of his soul”(Montessori, 1966, p. 44) Early childhood is the most intensive period of brain development. Adequate stimulation are essential during that years of life because a child’s brain is most sensitive to the influences of the external environment.. Such development helps to ensure that each child reaches his/her potential.
Topic: family

When children spend their early years in a less stimulating, or less emotionally and physically supportive environment, brain development is affected and leads to, social and behavioural delays. Later in life, these children will have difficulty dealing with complex situations and environments. High levels of stress during early childhood can increase the risk of stress-related disease and learning problems well into the adult years. Negative consequences can be found in children who are deprived of social interaction during those sensitive periods.
Topic: family

They will develop to be less socially confident and also could have problems with authority, and in adjusting to new environments. Knowledge and recognition of sensitive periods is crucial for a child’s physical and psychological well being. To meet children’s needs during those periods and for children to reach their optimum development, and adult/teacher must provide them with prepared environment. The environment should be a reflection of the home, welcoming, warm and prepared with love and care. Materials should be accessible at all imes, complete, ready for use and displayed in such way, that it will encourage him/her to choose activity. Materials organised in levels of difficulty and for different areas of learning. Each activity should have its own place so that child feel secure and independent when knows where everything is. Provide lots of time and opportunities for practice and repetition. Young children learn most efficiently when they’re provided with some opportunities to work slightly above their current ability with the assistance of an adult. Children benefit from a variety of different activities.

Dear Mr.Johnson, This Letter is on the issue of closed campus, in my opinion this should not even be an issue. Haslett High Scholl students should be able to go out during lunch, we have a right to choose what we pay for and we have the right to seek a comfortable environment. I have very strong reasons to back up my opinion. If I want to not wait in line for at least five to eight minutes for food I must skip the trip to my locker and lag around a heavy bag which has my first, second, third and fourth hour books in it.
Topic: family

The Cafeteria is way over capacity and simply can’t handle the amount of people that is must. After I have everything I can start eating, by this time I have wasted away twenty minutes of my precious lunch period. Mr.Johnson, this is just not a suitable lunch arrangement. I must mention of second problem with lunchtime, this is even more pressing than the first. Lunch Prices have been growing drastically and with no reason at all, this could mean the school is pressed for money so you look for the simple solution and make us, the consumers, pay more.
Topic: family

I have heard that this large amount of extra money is going towards better quality food; get real folks how can you improve the quality of fries and pizza? And what can the students do about this? Packing a lunch could solve some problems but this is a major inconvenience to most. With today’s busy life style people just don’t have the time to pack lunches. Instead we students are forced to deal with over crowded lunch rooms and incredibly unfair prices. Mr. Johnson this is just not suitable for a highly rated

such as ours. I believe that when a young adult is denied much of his or her freedom it has a rather disappointing outcome. Put your self in my shoes for a short time, if you were not allowed to do anything much more than do homework and stay in the house day and night what would you do? I would abuse my freedoms the second and was able to and probably destroy my body in the process. I am not saying that a closed campus policy will make kids party and do drugs, I am saying it helps contribute. When the program D.A.R.E was put into operation it was a good idea, however when the D.A.R.E program was ran about four to five times on the same student it was a huge mistake. It made kids egar to try drugs, I didn’t just make this up either. I had a talk with some freshman that had a real good dose of D.A.R.E and this is the message they conveyed to me. This is an example of what denying kids privileges can do. The solution to all these problems is easy, just go back to the old policy of letting kids leave campus for lunch. There are new food facilities closer by which will cut down on last minute arrivals. Its wrong to treat students like small children, if you treat us like children then we will act like children and do stupid things. If you give us some responsibility we just may start acting more like adults. Thank you for your time

Through Deaf Eyes let me really see how the Deaf culture sees the world. The video let me appreciate the deaf culture more and understand it better. Deaf people suffered many hardships through the years but opportunities for them are growing more and more. The way hearing view Deaf culture is becoming more and more accepting. Parents of deaf children have to face many tough decisions on how to help their child succeed in life. When I look at a deaf person or hard of hearing person, I look at them a lot different now than I did growing up.

He seemed normal but I associated him as having a handicap or disability because he went to the “special class”. So from there I always associated deaf people as having a handicap. Josh would occasionally get special treatment because I think people felt bad for him because he was hard of hearing. I remember him having a portable microphone that had to be passed around to everyone who spoke or else he couldn’t hear. I know you may be wondering where I’m going with this because it is not about the movie, but after watching Through Deaf Eyes, it took me back to elementary school and let me see what life was like through his eyes.
Topic: family

Trough Deaf Eyes is a documentary outlining the history of the early deaf communities. The movie illustrates and touches the numerous achievements the deaf community has accomplished over the past years. It is startling to see and know the many obstacles that deaf citizens had to go through here in America to reach “acceptance”; this can almost be compared to years when African Americans were segregated. People these days might think that deaf citizens have it hard, but I’m pretty sure it is nothing compared to those years when it was punishable or looked down upon to use sign language to communicate with your family and friends. It is frustrating to know that deaf people were once forced to assimilate instead of just letting them sign. One of the movies speakers hints a good point when she shares that because she spent so much time learning how to assimilate words like “dog, cat, milk, and ext.” deaf people usually fell behind in their other topics.
Topic: family

I can really relate to this and how frustrating it is because when I moved from Mexico to the U.S. I didn’t know any English at all. It was almost like being deaf because whenever I wanted to communicate to my teachers or fellow classmates most of my communication came from my hands since they all spoke mostly English and could not understand what I was saying or asking. Twice a week I was pulled out from my home classroom to go to another “special classroom” where another teacher would teach me English little by little along with another 5 other students. Thanks to that I also fell behind in my other school subjects in class; when it came down to grammar, reading, science, and cursive I sucked. Because of this small relation I found the movie to be really interesting.

Duality is a key concept in many of Margaret Atwood’s works. “It Is Dangerous To Read Newspapers” comes with no surprise when the juxtaposition of time eras are presented. The poem addresses the atrocities of the Vietnam War that occurred from 1959-1975. The work is focused on the adult perception of the war by the speaker. The 9 stanzas that structure the poem are a continuous construction of the horror elements creating an overall image of the war and the inability of the speaker to participate in it, in any shape or form.
Topic: family

The connotation of childhood is ignorance and innocence although that innocence is corrupted with the last two lines of the first stanza in which the speaker mentions that the “hasty pits were filling with bulldozed corpses”. The use of such harsh terms are employed by the child because that information was obtained from the newspapers. By having read the newspaper and discovering the reality of a dangerous situation, childhood ignorance has been put aside and terrifying reality is put forth. Atwood further demonstrates in what manner reading the newspaper is dangerous when she refers to the game of “stepping on the cracks” but instead of ‘breaking your mother’s back’, it “detonated red bombs”.
Topic: family

The parallel existence of a simple, harmless game, mixed with a life threatening weapon highlights a child’s perception of the situation. It could be assumed that the speaker refers to the bombs as red because the newspaper are filled with that specific color as it is symbolic of communism, which was being imposed upon Vietnam. In the third stanza, there is a shift in time periods. “Now I am a grownup” indicated that the speaker will have a alternated perception of the war and will provide the audience with different responses than she did as a child. Atwood additionally, uses juxtapositions within sentences to create a sense of disruption to the audience as the speaker herself is disturbed by the events. “My good intentions are completely lethal” and “I reach out in love, my hands are guns” define the imagery of destruction. Atwood contrasts a non quantifiable and intangible matter with a purely destructive tool or concept. By doing so, the author highlights how an adult is able to reflect upon an atrocious battle that is, in essence overly destructive.
Topic: family

Secondly, Atwood uses war diction and diction connoting powerlessness to convey the speaker’s feelings towards the war. The use of words such as “corpses”, “smoke”, “jungles are flaming” evoke strong emotions in the over the speaker who feels powerless over the situation. Atwood creates a dramatic contrast between this inhuman battle for life and the speaker’s tranquil life although agitated conscience. The war diction is employed to establish a horrific image of the war and reach out o human feelings of hate towards the battle and desire to reduce the pain and violence. Atwood draws attention an essential concept that defies the audience’s reflection upon the Vietnam war. The speaker suggests that perhaps sitting in a chair “as quietly as a fuse” could have made her “the cause” of the disturbance of peace in the world because with every moment that passes by and she is unable to take action against mass killings, unfortunate innocent people die. The contrast between war and powerlessness is highlighted in every stanza with the use of strong was imagery indicated by the word choice connoting these ideas.

The car I refer to as the money pit has lightened my wallet drasticly. I have spent atremendous amount of money on this car, I do not receive money from my parents nor would I take it. Since the age of 15 I have worked very hard to earn the things I wanted and to meet certain goals I set for myself. Unfortunatly between the paint, bodywork and engine, I have spent around $10,000 on the car, leading me to not only look “cool” by driving a nice car but also to eat a steady diet of 99 cent instant noodles because I do not have a lot of money left over.

My complaint is that I wish to use the garage, my dad who even after witnessing the amount of time and money that I have invested into my car will not let me park it inside the garage. I tried to explain to him that my reasons were to protect the car from theft, the weather, and vandalism. Dad however, does not agree with my ideas on theives or acts of God. My dad simply states that it is his garage and parks his bucket inside the haven that is our garage. In parking his car in the garage he overlooks many of my arguments about why I should be able to protect my investment and overlooks the fact that my car will cost much more to be repaired if something happens to it.

Damage to the car means even more money out of my pocket to fix it, consequently other aspects of my life will probably be affected.

This is his response whenever I bring the subject up. Although I understand that he does pay the bills and it is his house, the fact remains that his car is a bucket and it does not run the risk of being stolen. It also does not need to be protected from the weather, the weather has already gotten to it. The paint is fading and even falling off in certain places and I won’t even begin to describe the bumpers. My car in comparison has paint left on it and for that matter it looks kind of nice, so I would not like to see the paint damaged. My car is also a possible target for theft. His is not. For example the rims I purchased for my car are worth a little over $2,500. Dad on the other hand has hub caps which can be purchased at K-mart for $19.95. That’s a price difference of $2480.05. I don’t think he needs to insure those hub caps.

Understand how to monitor children and young people’s development and interventions that should take place if this is not following the expected pattern. 3. 1 Explain how to monitor children and young people’s development using different methods. Methods: Observation. Children can change according to who they are with and whether they know that they are being watched. This means that you will need to observe children in a range of different situations, e. g. with other children, playing by themselves and when they are with an adult.
Topic: family

It is also important to see what children can do when they do not know that an adult is watching them. This is sometimes known as naturalistic observation as in theory we are watching children being ‘natural’. Narrative methods including running records. Narrative methods ones where you write at the time what children are doing. Popular variations are running records, when you keep on writing over a period of time, and snapshot observations, when you just catch a little of what the child is doing.
Topic: family

With babies for example, it might be the times of feeds while with toddlers it might be about what they have enjoyed doing. Photographs can also be added to diaries. Anecdotal. Anecdotal observations are the ones that you have not actually seen, but are points that others such as parents might tell you about. Parents for example have seen their baby walk for the first time or a staff member might at break time have noticed that a pupil is not joining in with the others. After something seems important or interesting, the person who saw or heard it tells the observer about it.
Topic: family

The observer can then write it down in a diary, event recording or just add it into the child’s or young person’s records. Time Sampling. Time sampling allows you to look at what a child does over a period of times, such as morning or part of an afternoon. This means that you gain a more complete picture of the child. This type of observation needs some planning, as the observer needs to keep an eye on the children. A sheet is prepared with the times marked out. At the each of the times on the sheet, the observer watches what the child is doing.
Topic: family

It is possible to record the activity of more than one child. Event Sample. This observation method is used to look at how often and in what circumstances a child shows a particular behaviour such as biting. It can also be used to find out about how often a child talks or plays with other children. A prepared sheet is drawn up in advance after considering carefully the type of information that needs to be collected. A column is put down for each piece of information. When the behaviour is seen, the person has seen it should fill in the sheet.
Topic: family

Checklist. Checklists are popular, especially where people are working with large groups of children. Many checklists are commercially produced, but it is also possible to design your own. Checklists are easy to use because they focus the observer on particular aspects of child development. The observer either watches as the child is playing or asks the child to do something such as hop on one foot. The observer then notices whether or not the child is able to show the skill.
Topic: family

Information from parent, carers, children and young people and colleagues. Children and young people behave in different ways according to who they are with and what they are doing. A child in outdoor area maybe keen on the tricycle, but when they are in the park with their parents they may choose to use the climbing frame. A child who is quiet in a setting, may be a chatterbox with a childminder or with parents. This means that when drawing conclusions about a child, it is essential that we use a range of sources.

Family factors also play a role in a teacher’s ability to teach students. Principals and teachers agree that what is going on at home will impact a student’s propensity to learn. Divorce, single parents, poverty, violence and many other issues are all challenges a student brings to school every day. While some teachers and administrators try to work with children in less than ideal family environments, they can only do so much – especially when parents are often not willing to partner with the schools to provide for the children.

Single parents often must take on more hours at work to meet financial responsibilities, which can lead to children feeling neglected and acting out, and cause them to experience the effects of economic instability mentioned above. However, according to Priscila Comino, a researcher at the University of the Basque Country, it is not the divorce itself that affects children’s behavior so much as it is the way that parents handle the divorce. In cases where both parents mutually decided on the divorce and choose to co-parent, both making decisions and providing for the child, the negative effects of divorce are lessened.

Almost every person experience being a student once a while in our lives, we have different stories/experiences while we are studying. Some students have crucial times while studying and at the same time dealing with family problems. Usually students are being bothered by these family matters and sometimes even if they are at school they keep on thinking of it. Family problem affects the students gradually, it affects their focus on studying when they keep thinking of it, and sometimes a part of their behavior also changes. (Ferrer, Dollentas, & Reyes, 2012) When a child misbehaves or fails to meet expectations at school, the child’s home and family life is usually considered.

Family status and relationship is one of the main factor that formulates the child’s behavior, personality and the way their minds work. When the child gain knowledge from home, he/she transfers it to the school. Then, education plays as a key step to one’s success in the future. CITATION Fer12 l 1033 (Ferrer, Dollentas, & Reyes, 2012). But education doesn’t work alone, it needs help from home. Several family factors can affect a child’s behavior and ability to perform in the classroom. These include economic stability, changes in family relationships, parental attitudes toward education and incidents of child abuse. “Does family problem affect the student’s performance at school”.

Effects reported include adverse impacts on cognitive capacity, schooling, physical health, mental and emotional health, social conduct and behavior, peer relations, criminal offending, cigarette smoking, substance use, early departure from home, early-onset sexual behavior and teenage pregnancy.  (Mackay, 2005) Therefore, parent with a negative, non-caring attitude towards learning may lead to an excessive pressure on the child causing anxiety, stress, underachievement and rebellion.

Unfortunately, in our community we lack parent’s involvements at school as well as at home. Teachers really have a weary time with the students who have a lack of attention at home. Because the usually come with different behavior problems, so the teacher must work with all these types of problems. Some students and parents do respond to their calls and work with them on the given plan, but most of them they don’t. there are some parents who thinks that school and teachers are the main people who are responsible for the child’s education, behavior and future development, which it is not.

So sometimes when you call the child’s parent to complain about his/her behavior they just easily respond to you that the teacher has the problem not their child. However, teachers when they have some disruptive students in their classroom must spend additional time on behavioral management and cause reducing time for teaching. After all, students who have behavioral issues management will have more difficulty motivating themselves to study, listen in the class and do their homework. Even the best teacher in the world can’t force any student to learn if they are completely unmotivated.

The quality of time that parents spend with their children at home that helps in the development of their physical and psychological growth, as well as, practice effective skills while revising lessons given at school and helping and encouraging them to do their assignments. However, the easiest way parents can use to their children to develop their confidence are “words” once their parents encourage their children using encouragements words the child will feel safe, encouraged and enthusiastic to give more at school, so he can go back home to hear his parents telling him about how proud they are about him.

An important theme running throughout “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck is of loneliness. Two pivotal characters are shown in particular as examples of this theme. The first character is “Curley’s Wife” and the second is the stable buck, “Crooks. ” Both for their own individual reasons are deprived the attention, love and compassion that they crave. They are the most perfect examples of loneliness in the novel and they are presented as characters in contrast to George and Lennie – who live on the companionship that they share.
Topic: family

Curley’s wife had hastily married Curley to escape living with her mother. Since marrying Curley, his wife has been ignored by him, not receiving the satisfaction of marriage both emotionally and physically. She does not receive the love, attention or companionship from Curley so sets out to seek the attention of other ranch men. She is described as a “tart” by the other ranch men because of her sexual mannerisms around the ranch, aiming to grab the attention of the other men.
Topic: family

It is established very early that Curley’s wife is deprived of companionship. Loneliness is like an illness for her and she sets out to cure it by presenting herself sexually around other men. Although she is conveyed as an evil figure because of her ability to land others into trouble, she most certainly is not evil. On the other hand, she is portrayed sympathetically by Steinbeck to show how a person’s loneliness can lead to their demise.
Topic: family

She had wanted to be an actress (“coulda been in the movies”) but had her dreams crushed when she was not given the letter by her mother. But during the conversation, the reader is given the impression that Curley’s wife is cherishing that moment of dialogue with Lennie – although he may not be on top of the hierarchy of men in the ranch. She speaks of the lack of companionship that she suffers from when asking Lennie, “Why can’t I talk to you? I never get to talk to nobody. It gets awfully lonely. ” At this point the reader can sense the grief that Curley’s wife feels in the tone of her voice.
Topic: family

The desired effect from Steinbeck may be for the reader to feel sympathy towards Curley’s wife. We learn that Curley’s wife is not an evil figure and only behaves in the way she does, is to grab the attention of the men around her. The other character suffering from severe loneliness throughout the novel is Crooks, the stable buck. He is portrayed to be an intelligent man because “he reads alot. ” This is alongside Steinbeck’s idea that you don’t have to be intelligent to be rich. But also, Crooks could have been rich if it had not been for the discriminative society that he lived in.
Topic: family

Crooks is nicknamed as the “******” throughout the novel and this reflects the racially prejudice society of the USA in the 1930s. Crooks is also portrayed with sympathy, similarly to Curley’s wife. But unlike Curley’s wife, Crooks feels lonely because of the way he is segregated by the other men of the ranch. He does not sleep in the same bunk house as the other ranch men and is given his own room. He admits that he feels lonely and is left out by the other men because of his race, “cause I’m black.
Topic: family

” But the reader is made to feel sympathy towards his loneliness because as a result of the society’s racial prejudice, he is easily crushed. An example is with his encounter with Curley’s wife. “You know what I can do to you if you open your trap? ” The reader here is made to feel sympathy towards Crooks because of the unfair treatment that he receives. Here, he is threatened by Curley’s wife – she threatens to accuse him of rape. The reader here is brought to terms with the unfair and cruel treatment of a lonely man in an unjust society.
Topic: family

Overall, John Steinbeck uses these characters to make the reader realise the suffering a person can go through with loneliness. Steinbeck uses these characters in contrast to George and Lennie to stress the importance of companionship. The writer portrays the harshness of society – the suffering a person could be made to go through if left on their own – as Crooks found. Also, with loneliness and a thirst for love and companionship a person could lead to their own demise – as Curley’s wife found.

Johns’ suggests that- The need for learners to be supported through their learning experience/guided re?ection and that students should maintain and re?ective diary. Sharing re?ections on learning experiences allows for greater understanding of those experiences can be achieved than by re?ection as a lone exercise. (Johns’, 2004) Identification of three key challenges of the family interaction From the interactions with the adolescent and the family, I learnt some of the things that I hadn’t come across and needed to improve on.
Topic: family

Some of these shortcomings were due to lack of knowledge and experience, and some were due to my emotions from the overwhelming situation. The challenges that I faced during the interaction with this family and the teenager were: * Challenge in educating the parents and adolescent about effective diabetes management due to knowledge gap. * Challenge in maintaining a therapeutic relationship with the teenager patient due to lack of exposure and their age * Unable to control my grief and acting professional thinking about the overwhelming situation of the parents.

One Question Question (OQQ) The “One Question Question” (OQQ) approach was first introduced by Dr. Lorraine M. Wright (Wright, 1989) as a tool to explore family member’s most important health care needs. The OQQ I would be asking to this family is: “What are you doing as a family including the son to control the diabetes effectively and how is the son going about it? ” By asking this question I am trying to gain an insight of the parents’ awareness of their roles and responsibilities in diabetes management of their child. Also read luma reflection paper

The answer to the OQQ will also reveal what measure they have been using to manage their son’s diabetes, and how the son is doing with his self-management of diabetes. The answer would also give some light into the compliance of the son with the diabetic management plan. (Duhamel et al, 2009) Importance of the OQQ to my learning and family nursing practice OQQ is a useful tool to collect the most pertinent information and concerns in a brief therapeutic conversation (Martinez, D’Artois, & Rennick, 2007; Wright & Leahey, 2005).
Topic: family

The OQQ provides tremendous opportunities for nurses to be aware of and understand the areas of families’ greatest anxiety, challenges, sufferings, and concerns. By simply asking the OQQ can give the message to the family that as a nurse I care about the family and want to be helpful. (Duhamel et al, 2009) In the case of my family interaction, the OQQ helps me as a student nurse to communicate with the parents about their son. Family is the constant in the adolescent’s life, hence; I must work with the family to develop the best plan of care for the adolescent.

The family is also the adolescent’s main source of support providing stability in what can be an otherwise traumatic period in the adolescent’s life. The most important task of the nurse is to provide support to the family. Nurses should not only establish rapport with the patient but also with the family. This allows for optimal collaboration and collaborating with the family maximizes each child’s growth and well- being. Working together parents and health care workers can make more personal and informed decisions regarding what the best treatment is for the child. Neal et al. , 2007) To be able to come up with the best nursing care plan, I need to know what is happening currently. I need have an understanding of how the family and the son are coping with the diabetes management, whether they have any questions regarding the diabetes management. If they need any social support or other kind of support from the government or other organisations. The findings generated from this question about families’ experiences would highlight my learning needs education, research, and practice in the nursing of families Best practice strategies

I also attended an in-service provided to the staffs of the facility about diabetes management. I spent some time researching regarding the diabetes education of the adolescents’ parents and after researching evidence based literatures as well, I come up with some best practice strategies. Parents, along with their children, should be made aware about healthy eating habits, physical exercise, and dosage management of drugs/ insulin. Carroll and Marrero (2006) reported that focus groups for parents were helpful for families with adolescents.

Hence, it was a good learning experience for me. The Family Approach to Diabetes Management (FADM) is a novel model that stresses patient and family self-management by identifying and exploring patterns of family communication that hinder or support positive clinical outcomes. It is a very effective strategy to maintain a therapeutic relationship with the adolescent patient and gain their trust. Clinical intervention strategies that include the entire family have been shown to be both cost-effective and easy to integrate into standard diabetes care.
