Reflection

After every lesson I've taught or pretty much anything I've had to do ever in the education program here, I've had to reflect on it. This has seemed so repetitive and frustrating until now when I realize the importance of reflection. Each time I reflect, I find things that I like or did not like. This may be within classrooms or within my own teaching. This is incredibly helpful as I can learn from it and implement it later. There's always something that I would like to change or do differently. Reflecting and actually taking time to think about it really has helped open my eyes to that.

From whom or what do you think children acquire their expectations of relationships? If htey don't have models in their families, what other sources do they have? Reflect on the potential for those influences.


I think that children acquire their expectations of relationships from their parents or whoever they live with. This serves as a model for them to see every single day. This would be the most influential factor. If they don't have models in their immediate families, then they probably pick up their perception of relationships from their grandparents or other family members. Another source of a model could be from the media or television. Many different types of relationships are modeled on television that children may watch. Hopefully their first model for a relationship can come from their families.
