Week 13

Well class is over....and I am rather sad! I am grateful for the opportunity I had to learn so much. For our final we had to pick two topics and teach them to a fellow class mates. I thought it would be a lot harder then it actually was. The final got me pumped to want to share what I have learned with others.

Thanks for reading,
Becca

Week 12

This week was probably the best week of the whole semester! We learned about parenting, which is something that really interest me. My professor talked about the needs of kids-which are contact and belonging, power, protection, withdrawal and challenge. We we ran out of time so we were only able to go over contact and belonging and power. With contact and belonging the child's mistaken approach is to undue attention seeking, to stand offish. When this happens the parents need to offer contact freely and to encourage contribution. A child's mistaken approach when it come to power is to control others or to have a power struggle. The parent's response should be to create responsibility through choices and consequences.

Week 11

This week I was really sick and wasn't able to come to class but I really liked this quote form President Thomas S. Monson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he said "We do live in turbulent times. Often the future is unknown; therefore, it behooves us to prepare for uncertainties. Statistics reveal that at some time, for a variety of reasons, you may find yourself in the role of financial provider. I urge you to pursue your education and learn marketable skills so that, should such a situation arise, you are prepared to provide."
