Would like to see/learn about a similar "child life" profession for late adulthood. I work at an Alzheimer's/Dementia assisted living center & I've see how these people can get truly terrified over basic hygiene, let alone an actual medical procedure. There is a need! #cofcdevsci
Super nice last day of class. I didn't even know the Child Life profession existed. Great learning about how you can incorporate lifespan development into a career you would be passionate about! #cofcdevsci
I would have never known that there was a term to describe teens being constantly worried about people watching their every action. the imaginary audience is so evident in your everyday teenager! #cofcdevsci
@GabPrincipe Interesting how the paradox of giving children with ADHD more time to play can help them get control of their attention and resist impulses. I always think back to how evolutionarily, we aren't meant to be successful in standard classrooms. This embodies that so nicely!
For my #cofcdevsci students: Class is too packed to talk about ADHD, but read my two cents here & comment for 1 point extra credit https://t.co/f2saV7snlf
Reading Chapter 10 & learning that majority children begin to establish negative attitudes towards minority children around age 5 (mainstream/environmental influence), but those attitudes stop once children begin to see people for their inner traits #faithinhumanity#cofcdevsci
Ways to counteract: 1. Be open to children playing with toys not necessarily aligned with their gender 2. perform actions not specifically aligned with your gender (ex. males cooking and/or cleaning etc.) 3. Be cautious when restricting genders into categories
Reading the text has me realizing how unintentionally we all can contribute to establishing schemas of gender stereotyping on children during such crucial times of development. #cofcdevsci
