blog #4 chapter 15

For my last blog I chose the concept attachment style which means that when children are very young, they begin to grow an attachment on the people who raise them. They depend on nurturance, love, affection, protection, and support. I found this concept to be great because I feel that this concept is true and amazing. I believe that people grow to have this huge attachment with their primary caregiver at a young age because they are the ones who are always around for them. If a parent were never there for their child, that child would grow-up never knowing what it feels like to be loved. That child will grow-up being very distant and have a hard time finding a partner who they can love and trust. I grew-up with a huge attachment on my parents. I have been around them all my life. We do everything together. We take family vacations every year, have bbq's, go to each others sporting event or activities, have dinner as a family, and talk about everything. We are a very close family that supports each other in everything that we do. We take after our parents in the way that we react to people, talk to people, our manners, and everything else that comes our way. Our parents are our role models in our family. We learn from them and love them. They are my attachment.

chapter 12 blog #2

For chapter 12 I chose the concept Reward behavior which simply means when a person is trying to influence another person by rewarding them for praising them. Growing up, I think that all of this had this done to us at least once. As for me, i remember when my parents promised me that we can all go on a cruise on year if I got all A's and maybe one B in all my classes. I worked so hard for that and when I got the grades that they wanted, we were all able to go on our cruise. This happens with people getting their drivers liscense as well. Parents tend to give rewards for doing something in their liking. For example, if a child wanted ice cream, that child had to finish all of his/hers dinner before they could have their ice cream. I sometime see myself giving rewards when a child does something great. I babysit, and when they want to do something like play the wii, I make them eat their dinner or do their homework before they can do so. Almost everyone does it.
