Hello everyone! I have survived the OMG it's Monday feeling. We are soon to head over to Wednesday finally! For the ones that know me as an individual, already are aware that I've worked with children my whole life! I'm believing this is just a profession I cannot seem to shake! LOL
Ok so I have worked with children my whole life. So, I have hands on experience when it comes to observing a child's behavior. Many out there would agree if I say the behavior starts from the parent. I used to be a firm believer in that notation. Now my views are slightly swayed to the left.
The thing is, yes the parents are the first gateway to interacting with another being. Most of the time this is where the personality, language, and communication tatics start. We also must realize there are many other things that can influence a child's behavior such as:
-The media
-Others in the neighborhood
-Family members other than the parents
Or the worst case of all... That's just who they are!
I was working with a student today. He normally misbehaves, but today was worse ten-fold. This makes me wonder is he learning this unruly behavior from his parents or did he see this from somewhere else? It's a hard thing to say that people are born bad. I don't fully believe that either. Although, there's room for me to be proven wrong.
I know there's really no moral of the story I can come up with in this situation except: Parents be careful what you say and do around your children, because they are always watching. Also, remember people like me along with others that work in education are with your child more than you are. So, that means we put up with them majority of the time. Just a little food for thought parents, aunts, uncles, grandmas, granpas, cousins, and friends of the family.
It takes a village to raise a child, so everyone has a hand in subconsciously molding a child's behavioral patterns.
Good night you guys!
Millah Out!
