Destiny Adams December 11 ,2023 Child Development EDUC-1004-1 Marsha Miller MS. Ed 1. The text states that,” The fact that family function is more influential than family structure does not make structure irrelevant. Structure powerfully affects function,” Berger, 2018, p. 380) In your own words describe the difference in family function and structure. Select one family structure as noted in Table 13.2 on page 378 of the course text to demonstrate how in can function to meet the five common needs of children noted on page 376 of the text. The way members of a family interact with one another to meet their needs is referred to as family function. The composition of a family, including the number and dynamics among its members, is referred to as its family structure. There are several ways that family structure can impact how a family function. An extended family, for instance, can offer kids a wide range of assistance and direction. The following five needs of children can be satisfied by extended families: adoration and acceptance Support Direction and order Education Recreation
It is crucial to remember that not every extended family operates in the same manner. On the other hand, children can benefit greatly from having extended families. 2.Review the information on pages 386-395 in your course text describing the influence of peers. Friendships, Popularity, and Bullying are each described in the text. Select one to focus on and in your own word note their potential negative consequences on child social development. Describe how they can be supported to overcome this. Bullying is an aggressive behavior in school-aged children. It is possible that the behavior will continue and perhaps even become repetitive. Bullying by children against their peers is typically caused by something going on in their lives. Bullying can sometimes be directed towards children who are not popular. Bullying has many negative consequences that can hinder social development. Sometimes children lack social skills because they feel alone. Their peers do not want to be friends with them because they want to avoid becoming victims themselves. As a result, the victim would feel alone and unable to get any support. They will become timid, shy people who suffer from sadness and lose their sense of self. They will feel left out and become timid and afraid. Because this interferes with the victim's ability to form social bonds, it will be difficult for them to make friends as an adult. Bullying can have long-lasting effects that continue into adulthood. A person with anxiety may avoid social situations for fear of being bullied again. It is feasible to impart bullying coping mechanisms to children. Children can learn strategies for preventing bullying. They can start learning coping strategies in elementary school. You can tell them to stay away from the offending person or to ignore the behavior. Kids can be taught to
speak up for their friends or to report bullying to an adult. Children who mistreat other children need assistance as well. Their bullying behavior could stem from a variety of factors. Difficult home circumstances or issues with self-worth are examples of potential causes. Prior to bullying starting, it is imperative to address their issues. Placing all the blame for bullying on the bully is reckless, and blaming the victim alone is clearly wrong (Berger, 2018, Ch. 13). 3.The text describes Kohlberg’s Levels of Moral Thought (pp. 392-393) Using this theoretical framework and Table 13.4, describe a moral decision you have observed, or recall making and apply Kohlberg’s theory. In your response indicate which Level and Stage the moral decision represents. I was in high school once, and I recall missing class. Wow, you really wanted to appear like a responsible student and be doing the right thing by skipping class, but you also wanted to avoid getting caught by the administration. This relates to stage one, more reasoning, Kohlberg's level, and one pre conventional.
