Miscommunication

“It helps children to see that good parents can have differing opinions and that these differences can be worked out without striking, yelling, or throwing things. They need to see and feel CALM COMMUNICATION with RESPECT for each other’s viewpoints so they themselves will know how to work through differences in their own lives.”
Robert D. Hales

For the past couple of months I have really started to understand the art of communication. I have come to realize that it is very important to communicate what you are feeling with others. I have been dating someone for 5 months now, and I have had to change the way I communicate and notice how I do certain things. I loved learning about the “Symbolic Interaction Theory” in class because symbols don’t mean the same thing to others as they do to you. Our families are very different and we all grew up differently. Genders have a different language. Couples have to create a language together. Miscommunication of gestures and words can be a conflict with a couple. They have to create a language together.  

“I stress the importance of clearing up any misunderstandings…it does not matter who is right, but what is right.”

My Top 10 List of Things I Learned This Semester

The only way to truly know a person’s family system is by trial and error. 3-       I liked learning about the difference between Females and Males. Females: see things in relation to others, fine motor skills, small details, nurturing, interactive, c...

What is gender?

What is gender? Back in the day, “gender” was a polite way to say “which sex are you?” The definition of gender  we grew up knowing has been altered and changed within the past couple of years. Men and women were all created differently and were given different roles. This lists some of the different skillsets that were talked about in a documentary.   Women: Fine motor skills Focus on their feelings or others feelings See things in relation to others Attention to small details Nurturing Interactive Cooperative Able to be aware of many things at the same time Able to read verbal & non-verbal cues Men: Gross motor skills Special orientation Competitive Tasks Upper body strength Better at math Problem solving Startle response Aggression Take things at face value No matter if you are a straight, gay or lesbian couple, I feel like each person in the couple share different qualities that make their companionship balance.

Parenting Styles

Your parenting style can affect everything from how much your child weighs to how she feels about herself, so it's important to ensure your parenting style is supporting healthy growth and development.  Researchers have discovered four types of parenting styles. Each style has a different take on what a parent's role should be in a child's life. 1. Authoritarian Parenting Do any of these statements sound like you? You believe kids should be seen and not heard. When it comes to rules, you believe it's "my way or the highway." You don't take your child's feelings into consideration. If any of those ring true,  you might be an authoritarian parent . Authoritarian parents believe kids should follow the rules without exception. They also don't allow kids to get involved in problem-solving challenges or obstacles. Instead, they make the rules and enforce the consequences with little regard for a child's opinion.  Authorita...
