Rest of the school year went like this; my peers would try to talk to me, and I would not say anything. I wanted to scream because I hated being the center of attention (I still do) and these people would just not leave me alone. Slowly, the attention died down but until 5th grade I was referred as the “New Girl,” which was amusing since I had been there for three years already.…
Children coming from primary school to secondary school will go through many changes. They are aged between 11 and 12 years old. Their bodies will be changing as well with reaching the age of puberty. With this they become aware of bodily and mental changes. They can get very self conscious and will become embarrassed easily which is why we have to take care of our approach to children at a certain age. We should try and avoid putting them in to situations that could embarrass them. Try and gain their trust/confidence so that you or they can approach one another if needing to talk about anything.…
Children, regardless of age, culture or ability need to feel secure and valued, and this should reflect in your interactions with them. It is important to try and establish this from the start of your relationship with them. You must also be aware of the issues which are important to pupils, and take time to talk through them when necessary. To try and help this it would be good to start talking about how you will work together to help them and find out what each person wants to get from the relationship, by doing this you will develop a mutually respectful relationship. Positively communicating with the pupils and being involved with them will show that you are part of the school community. However it is important to remember that this doesn’t mean you give all the pupils attention whenever they demand it.…
Establishing relationships with children and young people can be hard, especially within a school environment. Ground rules must be established, in order for there to be mutual respect. It is important that the child/young adult understands that you are there to support them, but not to be their friend. It is important to understand the age of the person you are communicating with – what issues and problems may be affecting them, at what is significant to their lives at that time. This understanding will enable you to support them effectively at any phase of their life.…
The Effect of Exercise On Jump Roping Lab Report The Problem: The situation is that there are conflicting claims about whether or not exercise can help a person increase their athletic performance. People who disagree that exercise or warming up can help people with their physical performance claim that resting before a physical event can be the factor that helps a person with their performance. The Hypothesis: Since exercising produces a faster heart rate and the body needs to maintain homeostasis, the heart will pump out more blood and oxygen to the muscles as well as throughout the body when doing a physical activity.…
It is essential to bear in mind the child’s age and previous experience throughout any interaction with the child. Patience would be needed to help the child build relationships with peers and adults alongside close liaison with the child’s parents. Try to see things from their perspective, speak using age appropriate language and use paraphrasing to aid understanding. Use positive body language, eye contact and listen to what they are saying. Ask open ended questions to learn what the child is interested in and use that information to help involve them in class activities to help them to integrate with the other children. It may be useful to appoint a suitable classmate to be a “buddy” for the new child to make it easier for them to mix with other children and form friendships. Ensure that positive…

To build relationships with children and young people I need to adapt my behaviour and communication to be in line with their age and understanding.

This student was there both times I visited. The boys name is Kenneth. Kenneth did not come to the program with a fancy school uniform like john, he wore regular clothes and had a few stains on his shirt. He was not as high energy as john yet still had a social circle of students he hung out with. Kenneth is also 5 years old but seemed kind of withdrawn from the environment. When I visited the first time Kenneth was the first student I paid attention to because he seemed kind of odd out of the group. Coming to find out Kenneth has and older sister that attends the Y also and is 3 years older than him. He is in a different class than his sister In not sure why. His sister is pretty active and runs and plays with things around the center but is very much involved in group activities she has 2 friends of which she spends the most time with. When presented with a new activity it takes Kenneth a few moments for his brain to kick into gear and move on to the next task he kind of sits and stares at the other children and then he goes about joining the group. Snack time he sits with kids of his age group and doesn’t speak to often. During physical activity of music time Kenneth joins the choreography but he isn’t overjoyed or making rambunctious movements that disrupt anyone else he tended to stay to the side of the room and tries to create as title attention as…
Do you remember the first day of Middle School? When you stepped onto campus, and noticed how big this school was, looking for faces you recognized. And when you did, you ran up to them and talked to them like they were the most important person in the world, so you wouldn’t feel so awkward. You told them how nervous and happy you were. Here we are, three years later. Sitting in our dresses and whatever, knowing that in two months, we'll be doing the same thing at a different school. And if you look around in your seats, you'll notice that these are the people you've spent almost every day with, knowing that you wont be seeing all of the same faces next year. Faces that you may have just met this year. And faces that you will remember for the rest of your lives.…
I feel one of the first principles of relationship building is to always introduce yourself wither it be child, young person or adult. Just simply taking the time to listen to others and showing you are interested will contribute to the making of a positive relationship. Everyone is entitled to an opinion so we should show respect by using eye contact and appropriate body language while they put forward their points of view. Show an interest in what people say to you by remembering personal details in their life for example an important event in their family or maybe a birthday as this will contribute greatly to building a relationship.…
My unique educational environment of a school has allowed me the opportunity to form close relationships with teachers and students alike, enabling me to interact with people of various backgrounds and ages. These experiences prepared me for my encounters beyond the realm of the classroom. Within this environment, I planned my class' junior and senior trips. These experiences provided me with an opportunity to represent my classmates while fostering communication between the faculty and students. Currently, I participate in a class called . Twice a week, and I get together to read, review his homework, talk about current events, and share our life experiences. While this seemed intimidating at first, I learned that he depended on me to help with his work. No longer was I just helping out', but I had a responsibility to to assist with his learning and be a positive role model in his life. With these recent school experiences, I have learned how communication and compassion can instill responsibility and be a person's most valuable allies.…

The first day of school, as expected, was strange. Students were all excited to see each other after three months. While everyone else was concerned with catching up with friends, all I really wanted was someone to talk to me. Even if it was simply to ask who I was and what I was doing there. Things continued to be awkward during the first few days. Some people stared, and to others, I was invisible, but…
