A Reflection on the Article: Child Development a Thematic Approach While reading the book, A Topical Approach to Lifespan Development, the small article Child Development: A Thematic Approach, caught my eye. There is a short story about three children of varying ages: Heather, who is one; Andrew, who is six; and Benjamin, who is fourteen. Andrew is upset that his sister Heather knocked over his construction set and slapped her across the back.

Homeschooling Adventures: Creating Lesson Plans Hi 🙂 welcome to another homeschooling adventure on this blog. If you're a new reader welcome ❤ Every Tuesday I share my homeschooling adventures with my seven-year-old. This is our first year completely homeschooling without a program, and I thought it would be neat to capture the year, share with others, connect with more homeschooling parents, and have a way to look back once our homeschooling adventures come to an end.

Children and Socialization Socialization is the process that helps children acquire the values and behaviors of society. Whiting and Whiting found that in Gussi, Kenya, children often worked with their parents and did housework at a young age. The children were reported to display nurturing and responsible characteristics. In contrast, Whiting and Whiting found that in a small New England town, the mothers of children often took care of the children and mainly did everything for them.

Homeschooling Adventures: Creating Space Hi guys 🙂 I am doing weekly topics for the blog and have decided that Tuesdays are for homeschooling adventures. My son had a very hard time in public school with all the loud noises, so we are giving homeschooling a go. Especially, since he got lost in the attic at school one day from running out of his classroom during class change.

Keto Recipe Friday: Pizza I have decided to start a new segment where I share keto recipes each Friday. I am on a weight loss journey and have decided to try the keto diet for the next six months to help with inflammation again. I lost 70 pounds the first time I did Keto and gained about 40 pounds back after I had to go to a women and children's shelter with my kiddo in 2024, due to domestic violence.

Why Do People Ignore People in Need of Help Recently, there has been a video shared all over social media of a man stabbing a young girl in the neck while they were on a train. The people around the girl did nothing to stop or help her. It was shocking and disturbing to see. While reading through some of the comments, I noticed many people asking why or how people could sit around and do nothing.

A Reflection on the Article Notes on Divorce The article Notes on Divorce followed two case studies of seven-year-olds who were experiencing their parents' divorce. The article explained how divorce impacted the two children and how they developed over the years. Both case studies showed the drastic ways divorce can impact a child’s life regardless of whether both parents are supportive or not.   Sammy, the first case study, became violent, full of rage, and hostile toward his mother, peers, and women in general.

How Does One Define a Good Life “We are not given a good life or a bad life. We are given a life. It’s up to us to make it good or bad.” Humankind has been asking for millennia what a good life consists of and how to achieve a good life.  A good life can be defined in many ways. This post will discuss what a good life may entail, ways to measure a good life, and my thoughts about how I will know if I am living a good life.

Changing the World Through Technology and Psychology Introduction As Billy Cox once said, “Technology should improve your life… not become your life.” It is not a secret that technology is developing rapidly daily, including appliances, vehicles, the internet, phones, and more. However, it would seem that as our technology grows, humanity's mental health declines. According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, “22.8% of U.S. adults experienced mental illness in 2021 (57.8 million people).

Four pane comic with a seagull. In the first pane, it says “[reads the news] over the gull’s head. In the second, the seagull looks at the viewer and the caption says [blank stare]. In the third panel, there are flames under the gull’s feet and it’s starting to sweat. The caption says “[absorbs the news]. In the fourth panel, the gull has its head titled back, beak very wide, and it’s screaming WHAT THE FUUUUU

Boat derangement syndrome

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.
