Every stage of life has its own sets of rule and happiness and we must simply learn to get accustom to it as we grow old. We are born as babies, grow as a child, turn adults and finally reach old age. When are little children, we longed for the freedom that adults enjoyed but never think of the additional responsibilities that accompanies adulthood. Childhood and adulthood are the two most important stages of life as the rest of our life highly depends on the developments in these two phases. Let us compare the two most important stages of life, childhood and adulthood.
They are the director of their own lives, and adults are just the supporting role on the side. • Separation Anxiety: during 2nd year, the protest may become strong at day care, since they anticipate parents departure. • Attachment to comfort object begins Age 2 • Love to assert themselves with “NO” • Imitate adults/parents • Want to help with household tasks, or other tasks adults do • Start more complex pretend play • Fantasy play= short and simple for now • Do opposite of what is asked • Still egocentric and have hard time sharing • Like Parallel Play: important to have short 1 hour play dates with developing friends • Refuse to help sometimes • More sure of themselves than 1 year olds • Become frustrated easily • Still need security to feel comfortable and safe • Start to explore even more • Attachment to comfort object Age 3 • A lot of emotional/social nourishment comes from play with other children. • Like being read to and taught new things • Interactive games (tag) • Like cooperative play (30-36 months) • Language used to express feelings • Strong desire for independence • Show pride in things they accomplish • Start simple problem-solving • Think more creatively (play with simple household objects) • Still reliant of parents but much more independent than 1-2
I am not implying that it was wrong that children had to support their families; it’s the fact that having to start work at such a young age forces a child to grow quickly and deprives them of their childhood. Today children do not begin work at such a young age. They are able to play and enjoy their childhood. Many parents today encourage their children to begin working by the age of 15 to help them build responsibility and independence. Children today do not have to deal with as much stress.
My job is to inform you of many ways to make your college years enjoyable and not stressful. Sometimes we think its hard especially when we’re older because we think college is for young people. Whoever thinks this way is absolutely wrong! College is for everyone. Older students bring motivation and maturity to the classroom.
Study Skills: Managing time as an adult learner Dawn Kent American Public University Dr. Angela Gipson Study Skills: Managing time as an adult learner Adult learners are those people, who are over 18 years of age and are involved in some form of learning. They can be working parents or other people living with their families, who are also doing their jobs and want to do something better for them. Time management is one of the most important challenges faced by adult learners as it is a limited commodity, and they have a number of assignments and related tasks to do. Therefore, it is very important for adult learners to have a good level of skills in managing their time (T, 2014), if they want to improve their life through higher education. Management of time requires the coverage of two important issues: getting the time to do something important such as study, and then using that time appropriately.
Public Schooling vs. Home Schooling Many parents desire for their children to gain the best education they can to become successful in life. Home schooling becomes an option to parents who feel that a public school education can hinder their children to becoming well established in the world. Parents often make these decisions based on opinions from the media, newspapers, and gossip where they can often hear the "wonderful" things about home schooling like providing the student with more hands-on opportunities and the ability to move at a comfortable pace for the student. In home schooling there is no comprehension of being bounded to public school calendars and how school can take place anywhere and anytime. Public school is better than home schooling because public school mentally prepares students for the real world; giving students knowledge on how to deal with bullying and peer pressure, and also allowing them to interact with different students and teachers.
“Manhood” by John Wain focuses on the slightly negative sides of pacing, even though the father may not be doing what he does to put pressure on his son. “The Happiest Days of Your Life” written by Penelope Lively, is telling us how childhood actually can be. “Growing up” is represented in both stories, as a period in your life where other people affect you and adjust you into being who you are, and in that way making every single person unique. I chose to analyse and compare these two texts, because they deal with the theme “growing up” in quite similar ways. E.g.
Homework is a necessary component of every successful student's education. By doing homework, a student will learn independent thought, perform better in school, and provide a greater chance for economic success in their post education lives. But on the other hand, sometimes teachers tend to give off too much homework which becomes very stressful. Stress due to homework can cause many things including: lack of sleep, slipping grades, fatigue, unhealthy eating habits, depression, and many more other factors. A teen should not have to face depression at such a young age.
Shopping at a mall is less complicated when you have a young child. Most parents will agree that having to take a child out of a car seat and then having to put them back in a few times or more gets a little frustrating. If you take your children to the mall you only have to take them out once and buckle them back in once. I have two small children and it can be a pain to have to take them out and put them back in if I wanted to go to ten different stores to get all my shopping done. A mall makes it stress-free for me in that
High school relationships can easily have a positive and negative effect on the success of students. Friends can help each other with school work or they can distract and slow each other down, it depends on the student’s personality. It would be very difficult to be a high school student if you had a negative attitude towards school, because you would not be dedicated enough to complete homework, or to hand assignments in on time. A lack of sleep and nutrition makes it difficult for students to function fully during class, to succeed you must be wide awake and ready for each class. Extra-curricular activities are a good way for students to get even more involved with school, and usually give students a positive reputation.
