7.2 Exosystem
Both of my parents did not finish college. This directly affected the way they parented me. They always pushed how important education was and they always provided me with the best education, resources and experiences that they could. They knew it was really important for me to go to college, and so all my life I knew I wanted to make them proud and get a good education so I can get a good job that makes me happy. -
1.1 Birth.

4.2 First Word
My first word was "dada" like "daddy." This word properly fits into the the one word stage because my first word was clearly a nominal. It was my dad (an important person in my life) and it was a label for him. -
6.1 Self Conscious Emotions
My brother was born when I was two years old and I was very jealous that I was not receiving all the attention anymore. I felt very envious and started acting very bratty, sad and full of tears becuase he was the focus of everyone's attention since he was the youngest in the family. -
4.1 Memory
One of the earliest memories I can recall is swinging and playing at the house I went to for daycare. I can remember the back yard, the other kids playing and the general atmosphere of the home. The theory that I believe most helps me to remember this is the knowledge of narratives. When my mom or dad would pick me up, they would ask me about my day, what I did etc. Also, as I grew up, they would remind me about my daycare experience and what I did there and how much I enjoyed it. -
5.1 Kohlberg's and Gender
I would say that Park about 4 years of age. I would assume this due to to the fact that she clearly has a good understanding of gender identity, as she got all the "is Aunt __ a man or lady" etc. When it came to younger kids however, she still did not grasp the idea of gender stability, as she got nearly all of he girls wrong. -
8.1 Children and Television
When I was young I used to love watching Mr. Rogers. I especially enjoyed when he would take that train through the tunnel to get to the other land. I was able to integrate information through multiple scenes and understand the stories and describe what was going on during the show. -
7.1 Parental Strategies
My parents, brother and I would always go for walks at a nearby recreational lake near my house. After walking we we get a certain amount of time to play on the play equipment. My mom said that she told us if we were good and played nicely with each other, we would get extra time to play. However, if we fought then we would go home. This is an example of committed compliance since we were not only eager to please our parents and be well behaved, but there was also incentive for us. -
6.2 Self Control
When I was 5 and my brother was 3, my brother had to go to a speech therapist. Whenever him and my mom would be in the sessions, I would have to wait in the waiting room. If I was good the entire time, and didn't complain and didn't disturb their session, we would all get to go to my favorite park. This delay of gratification helped to develop my self control skills seeing as though I controled myseld to wait in the proper fashion. -
8.2 School Transitions
Going into kingergarten I feel as though my 2 years in preschool adequately prepared me for the tranistion. I had learned positive social skills and was at the proper maturity and lingustic level for my age. One transition skill I did not feel I possesed was classroom particiaption. I was always very shy, so I never elected my to participate so sometimes had problems making friend since I was shy and sometimes quiet. -
2.3 Evocative Gene Environment Correlation
In first grade I was very interested in reading. I started going to the library and would check out huge stacks of 10 books at a time. My first graded teacher noticed that my reading was advanced and that I took a strong interest in reading. From there, she would always reccomend me books to read and expand my vocabulary and reading speed. -
5.2 Encouraging Gender Schemas
In my first grade class, whenever it was somebody's birthday, they got to wear a birthday hat. For the girls, there was a birthday tiara, and for the boys there was a crown. This encourages gender schemas because there were only two very gender specific hats. A boy would never wear the tiara, and the crown was very boyish and manly so no girl would wear it. -
2.2 Active Gene Environment Correlation
During my middle school and high school years I was very interested in music and band. I ended up surrounding myself with likewise people in band or interested in the same music as I was. This eventually helped me grow as a musician and expand my repetoire. -
3.3 Personal Fable
In middle school, whenever back to school shopping came around, I would also grow bitter towards my mom. She always wanted to go back to school shopping with s same and pick out my clothes, which were of course, the ugliest clothes in the store. I would always tell her "Why do you have to come school shopping with me?! No one else has to go with their mom! They get to pick their own clothes!" This is an example of personal fable because I though I was the only person that had to go with my mom. -
7.4 Friendship
My best friend in 8th grade was my best friend because we always had so much fun together and we told each other everything. We had things in common and we had the same hobbies and likes in music, boys, clothes etc. This relates to the text because we bonded over a good foundation of trust, helpfulness and loyalty. -
7.3 Crowds and Cliques
The clique that I most related with in middle school would be band kids. I spent most of my time with them and related best to them. We also had an important interest/hobby in common. The crowd however I was probably most associated with was "brains," since I was in GATE and we were a tight group of kids who were together in the same classes for 3 years. -
3.2 Concrete Magnetism
Since children in the concerete operational stage only focus on concrete objects and ideas, I would explain magnetism to them rationally. I would show them two magnets sticking to together and sticking onto other objects and explain to them why this happens. -
6.3 Diffusion
In 10th grade in my honors World History class I first started learing a tiny bit about politics. Before this class, I was never really introduced to different parties, themes or topics. No one in my life was ever involved/interested in politics, so at that time I had no opinions or knowledge or all the options and sides that I stood on or against. I had not commited or explored the world of politics yet. -
3.1 Preoperational Magnetism
To teach children in the preoperational stage about magnetism I would teach kids about things that are similar and go together. Like how peanut butter goes with jelly, salt goes with pepper and cheese goes with their macaroni, magnets attract to each other. Since they know those first three examples relate to each other, teaching them a new fact about two object should make sense. -
1.2 Theories
Teen Insight II stepping out of my comfort zone singing/dancing performance. Erikson would say that this helped my development because I resolved my challenges through my relationships in many different ways. (More explaination in email, this limits the amount of text). -
6.4 Moratorium
My freshman year at pacific I was an International Relations major. After my first semester I started getting the feeling that this was not the best fit for me. After deciding that it was a fact, I was then in the exploring field, as I had to research and decide what major and what career path would ultimately be best for me. -
2.1 Passive Gene Envirornment Correlation
The texbook coins passive gene correlation as something a parent does in harmony with their own preferences and interests. However for me, my positive passive correlation came from what is typically supposed to by negative by definition. Neither of my parents pursued higher education. When it came to raising me however, they always expressed that I do go college, since they always regretted not going. This motivated me to do well in so I can go to college to make them proud. -
2.4 APGAR
The nurse evaluated Nicolai's health by first cleaning his body. Then she checked his heart rate, termperature and reflexes. She noted the color of the babies skin, she checked his respiratory rate, measured his length and width, as well as weight him. I noticed that he had a strong cry and his color was pink, and when the nurse tested his reflexes, he had active motion. -
1.3 Methods
In the event that I am researching the way that kids understand the pronunciation of different syllables in context with words I would begin by explaining to them 2 different types of words that I have. I would ask them to tell me which category the word belongs in the "Re" group or the "Ri" group. I would list words such as rich, real, rims, reality and test their knowledge of pronuncations.
