Relationship Reflection

Image result for images of family


My family is my world. I uploaded pictures of my three young men and myself. Having a relationship is a very important thing to have in life. A relationship can be with your guy friends, a girlfriend, or family related. When people think of relationships, they usually think of having a girlfriend or boyfriend. Having a good relationship with your family is very important. It is always good to have a nice relationship with your family because you can gain trust and you know that they are always there for you.

The key ingredients for any successful relationship are a willingness to trust in each other, to communicate effectively, be able to apologize when we make mistakes and take responsibility for own behavior, to maintain a sense of humor and humility and above all to give each other and the relationship time by being actively involved and sharing a significant part of our lives together.

Relationships evolve and change all the time. Key factors in sustaining and growing our relationships with others are:
1.     Time
2.     Self-Awareness
3.     Positive Outlook
4.     Ability to Resolve Conflict
5.     To Listen

What we came to realize is that we are different and unique in our own ways. Our
uniqueness and differences are what make our family works. We bring different views,
different personalities, and even the way we love one another is different.

    Having a strong relationship with your family means having an open line of communication so that all family member are heard and respected no matter their age. When your family relationship is strong you can work through problems instead of tearing one another down. There have to be trust. Trust would hold a relationship together.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH

SIDS SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden, unexplained death of an infant younger than one year old. Some people call SIDS "crib death" because many babies who die of SIDS are found in their cribs. SIDS is the leading cause of death in children between one month and one year old. Most SIDS deaths occur when babies are between one month and four months old. Premature babies, boys, African Americans, and American Indian/Alaska Native infants have a higher risk of SIDS. Although health care professionals don't know what causes SIDS, they do know ways to reduce the risk. These include: This information is meaningful to me because so many people are not even aware SIDS. It is so important that families be educated on the safe sleep habits when it comes to their infant. Compared to rates in other developed countries, the U.S. SIDS rate remains high. For example, in 2005, the U.S. rate ranked second...

My Connections to Play

QUOTES THAT SUMMARIZE WHAT PLAY REPRESENTED FOR ME AS A CHILD PICTURES OF ESSENTIAL    PLAY ITEMS I ENJOYED    AS A CHILD As I was growing up, playing was a way of life. My mother encouraged play and so did the entire neighborhood. I remember vividly how on the weekends we would get together and ride our bikes from one block to the next. I remember jumping rope day in and day out. The weekends we looked forward to. Groups of friends would get together to ride the bus to Greenville to go to Rollerworld. Rollerworld was the place where we would meet people from another town and maybe become friends.  Play was considered a way of connecting with one another. Today play is so much different from the way I engaged as a child. Technology has taken over the way our children communicate with each other. Even as I look at my 13-year-old son and compare his way of communicating, for him he mostly engages his peers using a cell phone and video game...

CHILD BIRTH IN YOUR LIFE AND AROUND YOU

Image
I was extremely scared of childbirth. I DO NOT handle pain well at all. I had been fortunate enough to avoid any kind of surgery or stitches. I cry every time I get a needle. My entire pregnancy I heard my doctor tell my mom because of my age I would have a C-section. My mother would respond, "I promise you everything is going to be okay." Then I would proceed to tell her just how scared I was, but I was determined to get through the pregnancy. My childbirth experience began at the early age of 15. I had no idea my life would change so drastically. August 23, 1993 was the day I gave birth to my first child. I remember going through the hospital doors and up to labor and delivery. I was just a child myself and was about to experience a life changing event. I got moved into my room and my induction got started. I, amazingly, only shed a few tears after they finally managed to get the IV into my hand. They started the meds to induce labor and I felt fine. The contractions...
