Reflection Paper in Educ 1: Chapter 1
THE CHILD AND ADOLESCENT LEARNERS
Parents begin teaching their children in the early stages of life, even while they are still infants. Establishing a schedule for feeding, sleeping, bath time and playtime are the first things babies learn, and come to depend on. Providing mobiles that play music, toys that entertain, even parents who sing to their babies are ways in which help them develop into curious toddlers, and this is why the first and best teachers are parents.
As babies enter the toddler stage, they demand attention, and are very eager to learn. Parents encourage them to walk, teach them to drink out of a cup, and consequently as a child grows, parents are the most important and constant influence in a toddler’s life. They become to depend on parents for everything, and learn through observance as well.
As kids, the question is always asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Depending on the interest of their parents, the children’s answers vary greatly. If they come from a family of lawyers, the child would most likely say they would want to be a lawyer. If they come from a family where no one has graduated from high school, the child would most likely say that they would want to be a truck driver. The background and the status of the parents would determine the aspirations of children’s future. Social stratification determines a child’s outlook on their future career and education.
Therefore, as I am reflecting to the last session’s topic, it is the parents’ duty to mold the total well being of the child and the environment that the child will be having will be the formulation of his or her behavior or character as a person.
