Quote about children

"No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure."  -Emma Goldman

My opinion on Assessment

An  item that I would use assess in young children is there ability to adapt to change and new information. For example, how quickly to grasp the concept of math skills, starting simply with counting then switching to addition. Therefore, making an assessment of how they think and grasp whatever concept brought forth and switching it up. That would give an outlook on how they think instead of calling it a disability or placing them in SPed dedpartment.

Natural Disaster and Childhood Development

There haven"t been many things that I have come encountered with as a young child. One thing that I did come in contact with was a natural disaster.  There was an ice storm back in 1993. I remember no lights, water or electricity. I had my  mommy and daddy, so that was all that I needed. They made my sister and I some hot chocolate with some marshmallows.  I do not remember all they had to do in order to keep us warm and fed but I know with those two, we would be taken great care of.

Haiti has many problems of  natural disasters.  They often have earthquakes leaving many problems for lack of treatment. Many people in Haiti are HIV positive. There are all men, kids and women. that lack treatment ever time a natural disaster happens. The violence also increases for sexual violence. Without proper treatment and natural disasters happening, a child can be hindered from all aspects.
