General Psy.
Essay title: General Psy.
General psychology is the study of the mind and soul (Def). I believe that psychology is needed for all majors. I am an early child hood major. I love working with children. I want to be the best teacher, therefore I need to be able to understand children and there every move. During this semester we have touched on a few topics that I will need during the pursuit of my career. Being able to observe children and make observations, the different learning styles, and lastly but not least understanding their actions.
Above I mentioned observing and making observations is crucial when it comes to children. Being a teacher calls for many responsibilities. You are responsible for knowing each one of your students on a personal level. It is important that you get to know the family that each child comes from. Many teachers overlook small things like a child’s emotion as he or she leaves to go home at the end of the day. Children may put up a fuss about leaving for a reason. He or she may not be receiving the appropriate attention at home. Psychology taught me how to analyze situations of that nature. If the mother or father does not show love and affection than the child seem to find that missing nurture in teachers. Every day as a teacher, you should examine each child to look for signs of abuse. If there are signs of abuse you should contact the school counselor and social services to go in to depth with the issue.
