Delfinio I. Velasquez Professor: Tami Comstock Eng- 80-32544 3/26/2013 How Autonomy should be used with Parenting Parents want what is best for their kids, but what they think is best for their kids depends on what parents think an ideal adult looks like as a whole. Daniel H. Pink in Drive analyzes how authentic motivation and autonomy are required for children potential to be preserved. Parents should use more autonomy as much as they can to let their children feel that they are controlling their own life. This will increase their motivation in many areas and gain more confidence to achieve better grades in school. Allowing children to be able to think independently and create their own behavior can be an effective way to allow for more autonomy, improving their motivation in many areas and get the confidence to achieve better grades in school.
Case Study #3 Building a Coalition MGMT 591-10559 Leadership & Organizational Behavior Part I: Group Development The group is at the forming stage. Our textbook states the forming stage is characterized by a great deal of uncertainty about the group’s purpose, structure and leadership. Members “test the waters” to determine what types of behaviors are acceptable. After reading over the case study I was torn between the group being at the forming stage or the storming stage. The group does have purpose as they plan to create an after-school program which will improve school performance both by the students and the teachers.
At school, teachers and organization leaders are impressed by my time management skills and the amount of responsibility I take on.” Jessica shows her feelings in this essay when her father tells her that her that she does not have to work on the farm anymore, and can be like other kids and take part in school activities. So she gets involved at school, and when she thinks that by getting involved she would fit in, but she is wrong because no matter if she is a “farm girl” or president of the student council, she always goes above and beyond in all her efforts and is committed to them. Jessica puts a lot of details to when she is describing things. She makes me feel as if I’m in the setting, using my five senses. For example, “The delicious smell of smoked bacon and cheese omelets grows more with each step.” Every time she describes her sense of hunger, and reading about it makes me hungry for food.
The people we interview were Ms.Pham and Ms.Tovar the school staffs of the high school Libra Academy it was conducted in their classroom. the reason we choose Ms.Tovar is because we wanted to get a perspective of our theme from an older age and with experience in love or in a view of war. Also the reason we choose Ms.Pham it’s because we wanted a different perspective from someone young and still willing to make more progress in life. The things we hope to learn is the knowledge of their perspective of our theme. As we interview Ms.Tovar she had many knowledge to share and gave us advise as how she began her career and what were her difficulties in her life such as getting into schools.
We need to vote and choose and also encourage others to vote and choose as well. We need to advocate for the children and education, as the children have the most to lose. Childcare workers state that the number one reason that they stay in their job is because of the love of the children.

Why should we advocate, the goal of early childhood advocacy is to improve the lives of infants and toddlers, their families, and our community by influencing legislators and policy makers opinions, decisions and actions concerning early childhood.

Barbie would become an icon that would change the world of toy manufacturing, and become an unlikely role-model that would change the way a generation of little girls would think and aspire. Mattel has maintained its success by developing a reputation as a company that seeks to introduce child friendly toys and quality products. The following is a company statement in reference towards their responsibility to consumers: “As a global leader in the toy industry, we believe that how we achieve success is just as important as the success itself. We strive to ensure that our toys are manufactured in a responsible and ethical manner, and we have continued to evolve our standards and oversight process to reflect those expectations for labor practices and environmental stewardship.

They are looking for a straight edged, fun and responsible kid. That is the type of sitter preferred by parents, so just play that role! This would be a prime time to be nerdy and super polite. In other words be the role model, someone a little kid would look up too, as well as a person that the parents would approve of.
Follow me on this educational journey into both. Homeschooling is a choice that some parents sometimes choose to provide their children elementary, middle or high school education in their own home with academic courses taught by a parent, family member, or a tutor. Public schooling is an elementary or secondary school in the United States supported by public funds and delivers free education for children of a city, community, or district. Let us start this journey, by examining the pros of each of the academic options that are being discussed. The public school system is often the first choice for parents considering that they may have received public education, so they in turn choose this option for their child’s educational needs.
When I talk about what it means to live I think of achieving everything I want to do. In my opinion most people don’t understand what it really means to live and to be grateful for what they have. Another aspect of my idea of the American dream is to be given the opportunity of education. Everyone deserves to have the right to learn regardless of race or beliefs. Instead of settling for the minimum education people should strive to further their education and be the best they can be, no matter what it is they are doing.
