What I liked in this class were the recorded lectures and slides because they made the class feel more interactive and live. I'm not fond of online classes' lack of instructor/student interaction, and having the videos made it feel more like a class. I wouldn't say I disliked anything about the class, but it was a bit challenging using multiple platforms. Honestly, I can't think of anything to change about the class. I enjoyed learning about child psychology; I love how passionate and caring Mrs. Buchanan is about teaching the material. I liked how Mrs. Buchanan explained everything on the slides presented in the videos. The assignments were pretty straightforward.

The two topics I found most interesting are Chapter 4 and Chapter 6. Attachment styles were an interesting topic because they will stay with us into adulthood and affect our relationships and social lives. Reading about the milestones of attachment and how they affect us was fascinating. The second topic I found interesting is in Chapter 6, specifically aggression and parenting. On pages 178 to 181, it talks about types of aggression and explains how it affects us. The topic of aggression was interesting to me because I always wondered where aggression came from in kids and why. Parenting styles can be found on page 194, where it breaks down authoritative parents, authoritarian parents, permissive parents, and rejecting-neglecting parents; page 195 also shows a chart showing "discipline rules and structures," which shows the authoritative parenting style is best. The parenting style was engaging because I wanted to know the best one to adopt.

The ideal stage is the toddler stage, the first part of our lives we remember. The toddler stage could do damage early on or be a healthy and joyful time. Our textbook discussed healthy attachments, neglect, and mental development during infancy/toddler and the implications of a negative one. I have seen in real life what a toddler looks like with healthy attachments and a toddler that had neglect, and it is sad to me that anyone would neglect a baby, though it does happen. Page 73 in our textbook talks about the cognitive development of toddlers. Page 99 shows a table with the milestones a toddler should reach, and I find those essential to staying on track for a healthy developing baby.

The career path I am pursuing is cardiovascular perfusion. A website that explains perfusion is https://www.verywellhealth.com/clinical-cardiac-perfusion-careers-1735980. This article explains cardiovascular perfusion, which is basically a procedure done by a qualified perfusionist to maintain and record the output of a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine, known as a heart-lung machine. For a surgeon to operate on a heart to do heart surgery, the heart must be still so that the CPB machine can accomplish this, and heart surgery is possible with this machine. The perfusionist's job is to ensure the machine maintains blood and oxygen circulation via the body when the natural blood flow is intervened during surgery. The education requirements are a bachelor's degree, a medical background working in the medical field, and two years in a school that offers the program. The starting pay for perfusion is $142,826 a year. Something else I learned about this career path is that there are only twelve schools in the US that have this program and that it is a challenging program to get into.

I somewhat agree with the test results. It didn't go in-depth into the questions asked. The quiz was not very accurate because of the amount of questions asked. I learned that I am social even though I have social anxiety and am introverted. I can do more artistic projects, seeing that my interest is high. My results relate to page 347 of our textbook about "Exploring the Big Five," which goes into traits and knowing your personality type.

In my opinion, the best piece of information from Chapter 9, Cognitive, Social, and Emotional Development in Adolescents, is that the most pressing and critical issues that teenagers face today are depression and social media, specifically. Page 261 goes more in-depth, but I am focusing on these two specifically because I remember writing a paper on research about the connection between being online and depression; research shows as the amount of time spent online increases, so does depression. Page 7 shows a graph on the rise of depression in teenagers and page 304 speaks more on social media on the positives and negatives. Not to mention, there are dangers of a teen basing their worth and happiness on likes and maintaining an impossible-perfect lifestyle. I feel strongly about this topic because as great as the internet can be, it can also cause a lot of negatives.

In my opinion, the best piece of information from Chapter 8, Physical Development in Adolescents, is the section on body image and eating disorders in the teenage years. Page 239 to 242 It outlines the five main kinds of eating disorders. It gives facts on Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, and Binge eating disorder, including misunderstandings about the impact, gender, causes, prevalence, and chances of recovery from eating disorders. Eating disorders can affect any gender, and more factors go into eating disorders than just gender. I feel like this topic is essential because of how deadly eating disorders can be and how 20% of chronic anorexia nervosa leads to death. However, I think a major misconception is that eating disorders stem only from social media or peers because, for me, my struggle with body image came from my father. That is why I feel this information is the best because of its importance, its danger, and understanding the myths that come along with disorders.
