An only child receives undivided love and attention from their parents as there is no sibling rivalry. They have their hobbies and talents nurtured since parents don't have to spread attention across multiple children. Only children tend to be more independent with higher self-esteem since they receive focused parental guidance and don't have to rely on siblings.
Boys and girls who are only children must often face social stereotypes and stigmas that label them as selfish, bratty, and spoiled. 'Onlies', as they are sometimes called, have different experiences with family and friends than those from multiple-child families.
Today there are some 14 million only children in America, representing about 20 percent of all kids, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The document discusses the issue of elementary school bullying. It notes that while bullying was once dismissed as "boys being boys", it can seriously impact children's psychological development. It describes differences between how boys and girls typically bully. The presence of cell phones exacerbates cyber bullying. The document then introduces two hypothetical students, Annie and Katy, to illustrate how bullying dynamics can play out. It outlines the author's research at a local elementary school regarding their anti-bullying programs and how students typically bully. The author proposes creating a system to teach children when it is appropriate to report bullying and make standing up for others socially acceptable.
S.P.H.E Friendship for third class
Slide 4: The children will be given templates of this 'Wanted' poster. They will design a Wanted poster for a good friend. They will draw a picture of this friend and write any important traits this friend should have around the picture.
Tomas Finnsson discusses the importance of universal primary education. He notes that education was highly valued in his home and he sees the benefits of learning and furthering one's knowledge. In Washington, many students do not try their best in high school when their parents do not value education or their friends do not. Tomas suggests focusing more on helping students discover their passions to motivate them. He contributes by tutoring and encouraging friends to see college is about education, not just partying. Social media can be used positively as an educator by exposing people to new ideas each day.
This document discusses the importance and benefits of play for children's development. It outlines several key functions and benefits of play, including:
1) Play is important for children's physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development. It allows them to explore their world, learn skills like problem solving, and develop relationships.
2) There are different types of play that are developmentally appropriate at different ages, from solitary play in infants to cooperative play in older children.
3) Play can help reduce stress and allow children to express emotions, especially important for hospitalized children facing an unfamiliar environment. Providing age-appropriate toys and engaging in play benefits children's well-being.
Children who watch too much television spend less time doing important activities like reading, schoolwork, playing, and socializing. Watching television takes up a significant amount of time in children's and adolescents' lives. Children can learn inappropriate or incorrect things from television programs. Limiting television time to less than two hours per day allows children more time to read, exercise, play outdoors, help with chores, and have healthier development.

This document summarizes an observation of a child's development in a nursery play setting. It describes the importance of naturalistic observation for social workers and child development. The observation allowed the author to assess the child's developmental levels, interests, and strategies used to achieve goals. It also highlighted the strengths of naturalistic observation in understanding how the child communicates, behaves, and learns from others in a play environment encouraging self-expression.
The document discusses the importance of joy, play, and fun in learning. It references several studies and experts that found joyful and playful learning to be more effective, humane, and child-appropriate than rigid, outcomes-focused education. The document suggests that creating fun videos or projects with students, even if just for the joy of it, can have educational benefits and help students develop important skills despite not being tied to strict curricular outcomes. It questions whether teachers will be remembered for their ability to foster joy in learning or merely their expectations and standards.
This document discusses the importance of strong attachments between children/youth and caring adults for mental health and resilience. Modern society weakens these attachments in several ways such as both parents working, increased screen time, and media that portrays parents negatively. Strong peer orientation and reliance on technology and material things cannot meet core emotional needs like parents can. The document provides strategies for reconnecting with youth, including spending one-on-one time, prioritizing the relationship, expressing affection, validating feelings, and bridging separations by discussing future reunions. Overall it emphasizes that while attachments are formed early, they require ongoing maintenance through adolescence.
Rated E for Everyone: Expanding services to children with special needsAllen McGinley
This document summarizes a presentation about expanding gaming programs for children with special needs at public libraries. It defines special needs, outlines the benefits of gaming for developing skills, and describes the Piscataway Public Library's gaming program in action, which incorporates teen volunteers, a variety of games, and simple rules. Feedback from parents praises the program for helping children practice social skills and feel included without stigma.
Information on current topics like volunteering -(“The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity”) and school (only profits or a waste of time?), food habits (what should we eat? what is the most healthy cuisine in the world?) and world dangers (are they real? what will happen unless we stop them?).
The document describes two teaching activities for a mathematics course on teaching mathematics in year three.
The first activity involves construction play where students build houses out of 3D shapes. This helps students develop spatial reasoning skills. The second activity involves role play at a pretend store where students practice using money to buy items and make change. Both activities allow students to learn mathematics concepts through play in an engaging manner. The document emphasizes that play is important for children's learning and development.
Today's teens are different from previous generations in their use of social media and technology. While social media allows teens to improve social skills and become more aware of social issues, it can also lead to loneliness and anxiety from spending less time with friends in person. Adults should provide positive feedback to teens and be good role models rather than criticizing them, as sharing activities can help teenagers feel good about themselves.
Position paper for curriculum planning and pedagogy course. Contains topics such as: what is play, what research says about play, the benefits of play, the challenges play faces, a counterargument for concerns of learning through play and the implications for adults.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
