As I was working on the developmental timeline, I learn so much about how children develop socially in terms of growth socially. At first, children are learning and adapt to the adult. They soon learn and follow the adult's words and the way they act. Adults have a huge impression on a child and it is really important to make sure we are a good reflection for our students. Also during the time when they are going through puberty is crucial because every situation will have a big impact. Especially with words and decision-making, that come from the classroom or parents. It is important to be understanding and put yourself in their shoes.
This will help me as a teacher because I can look back at it and understand why some students are acting a certain way or try to get a broad general idea of what they are thinking. It is good to know and be able to relate to the students, it gives them a feeling of connection.
