Rapport Building: Rapport building is the first step to a successful client-tutor relationship. The tutor must “pair themselves with reinforcement”. This means that they should provide reinforcement for the client’s approach behavior and interaction with the tutor. Also, it is very important the tutor avoid placing any demands during the pairing process. The child should want to play with the tutor or at least want to be with them and their reinforcers so that over time demands can slowly be faded in. Please allow much of the first session to play with the client and build rapport.…

Social And Emotional development consists of the child developing relationships, learning social skills by caring for other people, developing their decision making skills,learning how to be self reliant and building their confidence and learning how to cope with their emotions. A child's social development can be supported by: being given praise when they have achieved something. An adult could provide the child with guidance whilst still respecting their choices and allowing them to make their own decisions. A child should be given the chance to spend time with others and provided with activities that involve them having to share and take turns. The child should also be given plenty of opportunities to show they are responsible for their own things and actions and should be given support and encouragment in whatever they choose to…
Application: This clip from the film, Panic Room, demonstrates four examples of the Appraisal Theory. The first prime example is depicted by Jodie Foster’s character as she finds herself in a highly stressful situation. Her house is being burglarized by armed robbers while her daughter is falling into a diabetic coma. Jodie appraises the armed robbers as a threat to her and her daughter’s life. To protect herself, she reacts by immediately launching for the gun and threatening the burglars. Her behavior indicates that the situation threatens her and her emotional response is to fight back. Secondly, Forest Whitaker appraises the event as dangerous when he realizes that Jodie Foster has his gun. He emotionally reacts to his fear by enclosing…

Children's play develops through stages (playing alone, playing near others but not with them, playing with others but not sharing, playing and sharing, playing with a purpose, organized games). With this will also encourage them to ask, give and receive help from another.…
From there, I would use the environment to encourage positive social interactions by offering open and protected spaces, safe areas away from group life, and a wide range of new and familiar materials that offer appropriate challenges both indoors and out. In my classroom, I would also incorporate learning experiences, routines, and schedules that support children’s play such as with opportunities to engage in developmentally appropriate activities where they feel confident in their abilities of both independence and cooperation. To further accomplish this I’d provide different centers in my classroom where they can act out their feelings and socialize with each other such as in housekeeping or in the dramatic play area. Other ways I’d support social development is by encouraging children’s positive relationships and fostering secure attachments through actions like validating their accomplishments and progress, creating a learning community, and helping them form friendships. Lastly, I’d foster prosocial behavior by modeling it, plan whole class activities, read books/discuss characters’ feelings, and commend acts of…

A child’s social development is gained through positive interaction with adults and other children. A child who has the interested attention of an adult through their early years, who listens and encourages them, will grow to be confident and understand how conversation works and as such develop good listening skills in return. If a child lacks this adult or even other child interaction, they may then lack the confidence to speak up and interact with others; this lack of confidence then may affect how they relate to other children either in games, role play or at school. Children, who lack confidence, may have a low sense of self worth, feeling that they can’t or are unable to speak out and therefore be able to join in. Not being able to speak out or join in can have a big impact on their ability to communicate and learn.…

The area of interest that was studied was Positive Psychology and Social Relationships. Dr. Barbara L. Fredrickson’s professional experience covered the two areas of psychology listed above, that intrigued our group’s interest and future professional endeavors.

Why is it necessary to critique a qualitative study? Powers (2011a) states, “All scientific evidence is important to clinical decision making, and all evidence must be critically appraised to determine its contribution to that decision making” (p. 135). A qualitative study attempts to describe an experience from the participant’s perspective. Additionally, to enhance understanding, the objective of a qualitative study is to increase awareness of human experiences. Performing a critical appraisal of qualitative research requires knowledge of philosophical foundations, the different approaches, and empathy for the perspective of the participant involved (Grove, Burns, & Gray, 2013; Powers, 2011b). For this evaluation, Phoenix, Griffin, and Smith’s…
