Basketball Resiliency



This course was titled Influences of Family, Culture, and Society in Early Childhood and I believe there was some discussion on family, culture and society that affects early childhood.    However, I preferred the breaking down of articles that discussed specific topics of family dynamics, community support, stress, and resilience that focused on my major assessment topic.  I feel this course was better focused on those topics and my major assessment.   

Resiliency is a hot topic for the students I teach in their socioeconomic class.  Learning how to cope with problems that they deal with on a daily basis is a teaching tool that is left out of most preschool classrooms.  For the following year, I am hoping to incorporate teaching terms revolving around resiliency into everyday lesson planning and curriculum.

One article discussed that most children do not want to go back to their past experiences but to remind them to bounce up like a ball.
