The document discusses the limitations parents have in fully controlling or determining their children's lives and choices, despite their best efforts to teach and guide them. While parents can provide life, teachings, advice, and opportunities to their children, they ultimately cannot live the children's lives for them or make their decisions. The children must learn and choose their own path.kimlifeprojectpamphlet

Jacob took the StrengthsQuest assessment and learned his top strengths are responsibility, positivity, achiever, learner, and woo. He agreed with parts of positivity and achiever that fit his personality of being optimistic and driven to accomplish tasks. However, he disagreed with aspects of learner because he only enjoys learning about subjects that interest him, and woo because he is hesitant around strangers. In school, he struggles with responsibility by procrastinating but ensures he learns material. His strengths help his relationships by being reliable and cheering others up, though positivity could be seen as nosiness. He takes charge in groups for class and prioritizes attendance and work completion with responsibility and being an achiever. Overall,StrenghtsQuest

Luke took a StrengthsQuest assessment that accurately identified his top five strengths as adaptability, harmony, restorative, positivity, and achiever. He agreed with most of the strengths identified, though found restorative less accurate. Luke feels strongest helping others with personal issues and staying positive. His harmony and achiever strengths can conflict when he tries to push others competitively. His restorative nature can get him into trouble, but his adaptability helps. Luke's strengths both help and hinder him academically, and his positivity versus his sister's negativity challenges their relationship.

2) A strong woman has confidence in herself without needing a man, and does not stay in an abusive relationship or let a man rule her life.
3) Intimacy in a relationship means honesty and sharing feelings, but women fear men running away if they are too intimate. Commitment and marriage require truly loving and respecting your partner.Does God Exsist Webquest

The document discusses parenting and self-image. It says that parenting involves more than just providing basic needs and education - it is shaping children to be responsible citizens through teaching values, habits, thinking skills, appreciation, quality time, and understanding of relationships and culture. It also discusses how self-image directly impacts results and behavior. Developing a positive self-image involves making promises and keeping discipline, dressing for the image you want, respecting others, and increasing your comfort zone. Above all, parenting and self-image are about winning together through trust in oneself and interdependence.Scientix Observatory: Good practices in internalisation and localisation of l...

All my life I have had the desire to help young man I grew up in a family where everyman have been to jail and I had many friends going to jail as well. I was the only one who hadnt experienced and ?the only one to become successful. I knew there had to be a way to help these men see life in a different way. this situation is important to me because this was all I knew growing up and if I could overcome the negativity I knew my positive would shine so that they could see there was another way and doing things another way of life. I behaved two different ways to the situation. the first way in which I behave was trying to fit in and be like which I grew up and was hanging with. since this was all I knew I wanted to fit it and to be liked, but after a while I started to realize that this isnt what life was about. my other behavioral response to the situation was knowing that life had more to offer than what I was getting. things didn't seem to be right when I was trying to do it that way when I realize that I could work a job and get an education to make a decent salary and prepare myself for a higher success, that's when things started to change within myself and people surrounding me. during the situation I was so confused on what was going on. A question that I asked myself over and over was why am I allowing myself to become a product of my environment. I had to think over and over on why it took much time for me to receive this answer during my thinking process I evaluated my pros and cons of the situation and realize my pros of being successful and A man out weighed ?my cons of taking chances of becoming some trouble adult t bound for Jail. ?Another formulated ?question was: ?how did I get myself in the situation? the answer was confirmed immediately, peer pressure was a big reason to how I got myself in this as stated before I long to fit in or be accepted by people who I didn't realize at the time meant me no good. of the nine strategies remaining the sixth strategy reshapping your character ?helped me in my decision-making because I realize what the problem was and what it was doing to me and my surroundings. it took maturity and hard experiences . another strategy is handling a problem a day at a time. this help me in the situation I was in because of the answers I was trying to figure it all out at once time which made it harder but once I applied the ?strategy , handling a problem one day at a time it made it easier and less stressful. Another situation that was emotionally significant to me was the death of my mother the death of my mother was important to me because she is my mother, my best friend it surprise me because it was a sudden-death it really came from nowhere she had been sick the month before but her pass it really threw me a curve ball. my behavior with her passing was very common like I said before she was my best friend she was all I had because my dad left when I was eight years old. so I watch my mom work hard r a.strengthsquest reflection paper

1. Since my elementary school career, I have drastically changed as a result of being exposed to more anxiety-provoking tasks. My personality has thereby been affected in a number of ways due to the aforementioned prospect. I have since become more organized and artistic due to my increasing creativity--since I have efficacy in visual arts. I have also become more mature, since I am always paying attention to my surroundings and what other people are thinking of me. However many benefits have come around, there are as many negative factors that have affected my personality. As described above, I am always affected by my social anxiety as well as always wanting to be in isolation as a result.?

The author was in an abusive relationship with her son's father. When people ask her why she stayed with him, she provides important insights into the dynamics of domestic abuse relationships. First, the abuse did not start immediately - the beginning of the relationship was happy. Second, the abuse was not constant - there were periods without incidents that created confusion. Third, she still loved him despite the abuse. Fourth, her self-esteem had been lowered, making it harder to leave. Finally, she feared retaliation from him if she tried to leave, as he had shown violence in the past. She hopes sharing her experience provides more understanding of why victims stay.Make a list of your own personality traits and then address the .docx

- 1. I truly believe, life is what you make it. I have seen my purpose and meaning of life evolve over the past five years for several reasons. The main reason being, I have spent so much time doing what other people wanted me to do. I am a survivor of an extremely abusive relationship. It has been four years, but the relationship lasted five years. I am not sure how, or what I was looking for when I embarked upon this devastating journey. I found myself scared, alone, and confused. I could not get out of this relationship to save my life. I found myself going back time after time, believing it would somehow get better. The truth is, it is a cycle that includes blame, abuse, and forgiveness in hopes that things will change for the better. It affected everything, my son, my job, my family, but most of all my personality and self-esteem. It took a near death encounter, at the hands of abuse for me to realize that I deserved a better life. From that day April 9, 2010 I would live my life differently. I owed it to myself and my son who came from this union. I sought out ways to better myself and my child. I introduced an environment for my son that promoted violence and acceptance the theory that it is okay for men to put their hands on a women. Although I wasn¡¯t the abuser, by allowing it to happen I showed my son that it was acceptable behavior. That was something that I had to make right. I have learned that life experiences influence personality according to Bandura's social learning theory. Bandura believed that learning does not always require reinforcement but observation and imitation is the greatest way in which one learns. When we experience different situations, we as humans start to form an opinion about ourselves based on our environment and our reactions to our environment. Environment plays a vital role in personality construct in that context. Once our personality construct is formed, we tend not to stray from it. I could not allow my son to become an abuser and have no respect for women. That is a learned behavior, and the younger a child is introduced to it the harder it is to create new patterns. I relied on therapy to reconstruct my thinking and way of living. My family whom I pushed away and had little contact with, became my greatest supporter. I resumed by faith in God and pursued the path in which he would be proud of me. I found myself laughing, and feeling valuable. See for so long I had no control over my life. I was living in hell on earth. I was not raised around violence. My mother and father and still together and have been for over 40 years. My father is a Pastor and I always have had ties to the church and my faith in God. Although I felt alone in the mist of all I believe it was God that allowed me to still be alive. I can laugh, I can socialize with my family, but more importantly I can love, and be loved. If I could do it all over again, I would have never went out on a date with my ex. I regret the day I met him. I would have continued to blow him off when he tried to pursue me. I love my son and without my ex I would not have him. But I cannot help but feel as a mother I am supposed to protect my son, I cannot protect him if I cannot protect myself. I feel that he was exposed to a level of violence that adult shouldn¡¯t even encounter. I hate that I did not have the courage to walk away sooner. But I applaud myself for making it out. I can accomplish anything after surviving such horror. I love the person I have become, and look forward to getting to know myself better.
