Developmental psychology is another important course I took. I did not realize how beneficial that course was until I started working in a clinical setting. Many of the unhealthy behavior patterns clients come in with were developed as a result of specific events that took place in the early years of their life. After have worked in a clinical setting the last couple of years I can guess the kind of childhood a client had just by observing him/her for a couple of days. Another extremely important course I took was Clinical Psychology.
Parenting is a process by which parents and children grow and develop, each influencing the other throughout their lives. According to Galinsky’s six parental stages Parents move through a series of six stages from pregnancy, when they prepare for parenthood and the birth of their child, to the time when their child leaves home to enter the adult world. Basically Expectations for their child's behavior and development are measured against the child's actual behavior and development; a parent's self-image may shift as he or she moves through the different stages of parenthood. This information is based on Galinsky's interviews with over 200 couples (Galinsky, 1981). For better or for worse, being a parent changes an individual forever.

They plan and implement activities to meet the physical, emotional, intellectual and social needs of the children in the program. Preschool teachers observe, evaluate and document each child’s progress 3 times per school year. The findings are reported to parents during one of the many Parent/Teachers conferences held throughout the year. In addition, preschool teachers often monitor each child’s developmental level and provide referrals to services such as a Child Psychologist, Pathologist, or Physical Therapist, if a child is at risk. Despite the significance of these teachers’ roles, preschool teachers get paid less than half that of Elementary or Middle School teachers.
Once students were identified, a momentary time sampling (MTS) was used to get a baseline of behavior for the students. The MTS lasted 2 weeks, 3 times a week for 30 minutes per child identified. At the beginning of the second nine week cycle, 2 of the classes were given their stability balls to use. Students were taught how to use the stability balls to prevent injury and unsafe behavior but otherwise normal classroom procedures were maintained. After 4 weeks of use, another MTS cycle was begun, this one lasting 4 weeks, 3 times a week for 30 minutes per child identified.
Because of the event, I joined the Red Crescent society in school and learned some first aid skills. But, I was not really settled on a career direction when I was in my secondary school and changed my ambitions frequently as I was interested with other helping careers, such as psychologist, counselor, and early-childhood teacher and so on. After the release of my SPM results – which was better than I had expected – I was unsure of where to go, science or art stream. As a result, I went and met my school counselor, Madam Wong. We had a counseling session and it inspired me lots.
