I was nourished with love from my umbilical cord in my mother’s warm womb, spoon fed when I was able to feed and hand held when I could walk; I was akin to my parents from my conception, as I was their child. But, soon I was riding a bicycle by myself while my father stood and watch, I was placed on the school bus by myself while my mother waved me goodbye, in less than a year, my parents together will send me off to school by myself. From a tender age, still being a mere child, my parents have engraved the nature of independence in me, a key quality of maturity. An essential proponent of the transition to adulthood is obtaining true independence.…

lower educated families because I hypothesize that higher educated families convey higher expectations to their children. According to Daniel T. Willingham, “Parents who know more about how children learn and grow talk to their children in more complex ways and more often solicit ideas from their children, and high-SES (social economic status) parents often have this knowledge and convey higher expectations.” This statement implies that even at an earlier age parents of higher SES begin to invest more into their children than lower SES families. After investing years of modeling these behaviors children are expected to act accordingly. However, families that invest lower levels of positive behavior modeling expect less of their children.…

A child’s environment, for example, their family or school play a huge part in their development. Some of the main factors that influence a child’s development are their family, where the child lives, and socio-economic status. These factors often cross over and blend as they are related.…
"SLAM!," the bedroom door shut before I could even finish my sentence. I don't recall or perhaps tried to forget my teen years and all the drama that comes with it. I stood there in disbelief that my daughter was actually having a tantrum. Furious and not sure how to react I couldn’t help but wonder where my sweet little girl went? Then I reminded myself how when she was a toddler, I couldn’t wait for her to grow up. Little did I know there wasn’t much of a difference between the two. Having a teenager or toddler can both be rewarding and extremely stressful. I have found that teenagers and toddlers may have their differences but to my surprise have many similarities as well.…

Senioritis Senioritis is commonly known around all high schools. According to the Merriam Webster, this term means an ebbing of motivation and effort by school seniors as evidenced by tardiness, absences, and lower grades. Senioritis is also considered a psychotic disorder. This word is not an actual sickness or disease in high school seniors, it’s just laziness because they’re getting close to the end. History…
Thru the course of my personal life I have observed both at a personal level, and thru observation of the news media that there are some adolescent’s that are far more mature than their age. However, there are always two sides to a story, contrasting circumstances or situations, and reality is that it is far more complex when analyzing maturity or immaturity of an adolescent. There has been research based on studying adolescent maturity and the brain, which has impacted both public debate and policies in general.…

Being a junior in high school has its perks: I have more high school experience, I earn more freedoms as I get older, and I am only a year away from graduation. Despite these good things, being a junior is not always easy. There is a significant problem that I have to address: my future. It is a big, abstract puzzle that demands to be solved. Since the only thing standing between me and legal freedom is my final year of high school, I have to make plenty of preparation for my future. Every student prepares for their future beyond high school in different ways; for me, I use the resources that are given to me in order to propel me toward an excellent future.…

The first factor that influences human development is a person’s socioeconomic status. This indicates a person’s position in society as determined by income, wealth, occupation, education, and place of residence. As a child, socioeconomic status has a big effect on the way a child is raised and the opportunities available to him/her. Children that come from high socioeconomic status families typically are more successful because they have more resources readily available to their children. They are able to afford high-quality childcare, education, and healthcare. Their children are also typically more involved in recreational sports and extra-curricular activities broadening their children’s horizons and talents. Children that are raised in low socioeconomic families lack the financial, educational, and social support that would make them feel equal to children from higher social standing families. These feelings of unease and not fitting in can lead to low confidence and low motivation. Children have to live with these feelings and the circumstances they were born into until they become adults and can make their own livings. Anyone is capable of overcoming his or her circumstances! When children grow up, they get to decide how far they want to take their education and what type of career field they want to go into as…
