Social Competence: Childhood to Adolescence Social competence is defined as “the ability to achieve personal goals in social interaction while simultaneously maintaining positive relationships with others over time and across situations” (Rubin & Rose-Krasnor, 1992). It does not typically emerge fully until a later age meaning immaturity is often displayed by young children, but they also have the capability to display maturity. Maturity or immaturity can be observed through specific characteristics such as emotional regulation, perspective taking, distributive justice, displaying of empathy, communicating with peers, social problem solving, prosocial behavior, and gender-role stereotyping from an early age and serve as indicators for adolescent social competence. Summary Emotional Regulation One characteristic of a socially competent adolescent is the capability for emotional regulation. Emotional regulation is when a person utilizes strategies “to adjust the intensity or duration of [their] emotional reactions to a comfortable level so [they] can accomplish goals” (Berk, 2009, p. 407).
Stress is defined as “the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we praise as threatening or challenging” (Myers, 2012, page 275). Stress is about an individual or is personal and is affected by the choices the person makes as an individual. The stress that is bad for you deprives you the ability to experience joy, happiness, enjoy life and who you are. That is why it is very important to recognize symptoms of stress and identify ways to bring the stress under control. The good stress is the kind that will help keep you motivated to be productive and be able to achieve the goals we set for ourselves.
Socialisation is a very important part of childhood, as it benefits us throughout life. There will be an in-depth look at socialisation and can gain an understanding of how students learn, children’s physical, social and intellectual development, and how culture and other factors impact on teaching strategies. An in-depth look into socialisation and its aims, the key agents of socialisation, methods which are based on theoretical understandings which support socialisation and how socialisation impacts on child development and learning. Until recently, socialisation research was primarily fixated on the result of influences which were outside of the child or influences on the inside of the child. These could have included the influence of a prominent adult figure or unconscious motives.
I will offer specific examples of how the course has improved both the way I approach working with young offenders and how this has impacted positively on my understanding of the underlying issues experienced by young offenders. I would then like to show how I intend to move forward in the future in order to expand on this knowledge base in order to continue my professional and personal development. In terms of the values underpinning my understanding and approach to young people and offending behaviour, it would be fair to say that K115 has been responsible for a fundamental change in my approach to working with young people involved in crime in some key areas. K115 has highlighted the vulnerability and complex needs of children involved in the justice system and this has helped me to look at inconsistencies both in my approach and thought processes. K115 has given me enough insight to enable me to identify that one of the main flaws in my approach was that of the many contexts in which I was prepared to look at young people, for example; to view them as children in those circumstances in which I deemed them as vulnerable, exploited or misled in which case to be
While the negative consequences of trauma are well-documented, a recent emerging literature points to the potential for trauma to be an experience that is, for some individuals, deeply transformative in ways that are reported as positive and valued. Two articles that will be discussed are Strengths of Character and Posttraumatic Growth by Peterson, Park, Pole, D’Andrea, and Seligman and Positive Changes in Outlook Following Trauma and Their Relationship to Subsequent Posttraumatic Stress, Depression, and Anxiety by Linley, Joseph, and Goodfellow. These articles evaluate longitudinal studies that observe the character changes in individuals that experience traumatic events. It is not that such individuals have somehow escaped the seriously negative impact of the losses, but rather that, in coping with the losses and rebuilding their lives, some individuals may unexpectedly arrive at a new level of meaning, a changed philosophical stance that represents a renewed and valued purpose, a redefined sense of self, and a changed relationship to the world. Given all that may be lost following a trauma, it is understandable that survivors may want
UNIT 12 1.1 Wellbeing in children is important as it will have a positive effect on their overall health status and the different areas of the holistic development; Mental health: children develop mentally. Mobility is the ability to move around freely and make connections with others. Self-identity, cognitive development, a positive self-image and confidence: this is the ability to recognise and understand personal moods and emotions and drives, as well as their effect on others. Good communication Emotional wellbeing Sexual wellbeing A child that demonstrates a high level of wellbeing will thrive more in life, he or she would be able to achieve more out than a child that has a low wellbeing level. Recognise the interrelationship between these areas as they will affect each other and are interrelated.
A/C 4.2 Explain the importance of children and young people having positive relationships through periods of transition. Transition, by definition, is both the process of change and the period of such change (New Pocket Oxford 2001) It is important to actively assess a child or young person’s transitional needs. What emotional, physical and material needs does the actual transition create for the child? What emotional and practical support does the child or young person need to negotiate this transition? We need to consider the losses that may occur for the child or young person in making this transition (relationships, people, place, culture and cultural identity and familiar activities).
CYP 3.3 (6.1) How to support children and young peoples self confidence and self esteem It is an important part of our role as an adult working with children to support them feel able to achieve and have the skills to Part of this comes from how the child feels about themselves, and we can make a positive contribution to this by building up children's self confidence and self esteem. It is important to take time to listen to and value what individuals say. What is important to a child may seem insignificant to an adult. We need to be able to empathise and remember that children’s view of the world is very different to ours. A child that feels that their concerns are taken seriously and not disregarded will feel valued.
Altruism is regard for and dedication of the welfare of others (Alfred et al, 1976). One of the most important reasons of the development of prosocial behaviour is empathy. Empathy is an emotional response that occurs as a result emotional state of another person. The ability to detect accurately what another person is feeling, and to see a thing from the other person’s perspective is also what empathy entails. Empathy develops from a young age as a result of the interaction that occurs between the caregiver and the child.
