UNIT 1 Discussion 1:
Reflecting on Childhood
Based on the readings for this unit, you are challenged to look at your childhood years and your interactions with your parents or caregivers. For this discussion, address the following:
1. What adjectives would you use to describe your interactions with your parents or caregivers and their interactions with you. You do not need to use the same adjectives for both perspectives of interactions.
2. Then, in retrospect, what advice would you give to your parents in regard to your academic success, your sibling and peer relationships, your ability to follow social rules, and your ability to enjoy family events. Be specific in your advice, citing the research literature to back up your suggestions.
eadings
Use your Applied Human Behavior in the Social Environment text to complete the following:
• Read Chapter 11, “Major Life Phases Influencing Human Behavior: Childhood,” pages 220–238. This chapter addresses that the development in childhood is influenced mostly by the initial attachment of the child to the parent or caregiver, and then in an ongoing way through the parenting interactions with the child. While parents are the greatest influence on the developing child, sibling and peer interactions, especially in play, are also important.
Unit 2 Discussion 1
The Changing Face of Youth
Based on this unit’s readings and multimedia, imagine how working with the youth of today might be different from even one generation ago. Brunck (2014) makes the point that “the array of apps on a young person’s smartphone or tablet is his or her identity.” The film, Generation Like, shares how social media is impacting identity development as never before. For this discussion, address the following:
1. Describe how social work with adolescents may be now and in the future. Reference any of your readings or viewings to make your points.
2. Describe how you might engage with an adolescent today. What will engagement look like? Will you communicate via texting, emails, Twitter, or Facebook? How might you assess the influence technology has on the presenting problem that has brought the adolescent to you?
