-Adolescents struggle to understand & name emotions 
-Kevin: "Look I came down to get away from you"
-Displacement of anger towards Randall & misnaming of feelings as anger, cheated, and maltreatment instead of neglect, resentment, jealousy]]> 2022-03-23 17:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110207162 Self-Management cschrade1 https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110277056 -Self-control, initiative (taking responsibility), conscientiousness (coping healthily), adaptability (response to unexpected & managing impulsivity), trustworthiness (predictability of actions/reactions), positive outlook (confidence in doing)
-Kevin believes Randall is at fault, reacts impulsively and aggressively, Randall fails to understand Kevin's actions, very pessimistic about situation and relationship 
-Gender is a factor
---> Males taught to hide emotions & be tough guys 
---> Kevin not provided opportunity to process emotions]]> 2022-03-23 17:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110277056 Social Awareness cschrade1 https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110299229 -Focus on concepts of empathy & organizational awareness
-Egocentrism (Piaget- Formal Operational Stage) is a factor
--> Belief that everyone always concerned with individual
--> Constant need to look good & concern of judgment 
--> Combination of Kevin as quarterback, scouts watching, parents, peers, and insecurity causes Kevin to feel the need to perform impressively 
--> Kevin did not consider Randall's perspective or effect of his actions on his relationship with Randall, his family & team
--> Kevin not fully comprehend the reality of his family, specifically the relationship with his mother ]]> 2022-03-23 18:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110299229 Relational Management cschrade1 https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110325488 -Desire/Practice of building others up, leadership, developing others' talents, exerting influence (as needed), communication, conflict management, being a bridge between individuals, teamwork, collaboration, and being a catalyst of change
-Because of Kevin's victimization and his unawareness to his feelings of neglect, he feels focus should be more on himself & he deserves others' investment
-Because Kevin lacks self-awareness, self-management & social awareness, he cannot begin to properly conduct relational management
--> Neglects his leadership role on the football team as a quarterback, lashes out verbally/physically instead of communicating, exacerbates conflict instead of managing
--> Kevin & Randall could have a conversation about the situation and work together to communicate to their mother to bring this to consciousness and promote a change in the family's functioning/relationships ]]> 2022-03-23 18:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110325488 Significance of Event cschrade1 https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110390956 -Serves as a tragic climax to the tension we have seen building throughout childhood between Kevin & Randall
-Turning point in their relationship- severs ties & causes distance through adulthood as evidenced in episode
--> Atypical dinner between just the two of them reveals they are uninvolved in each other's lives & unfamiliar 
-Inhibits Kevin's development 
--> Takes ANOTHER fight between Kevin & Randall for him to express his pent up feelings 
--> First time Kevin claimed Randall as his brother in 36 years
--> Randall finally gets opportunity to explain his perspective & Kevin responds "Well then that really sucks" and realizes that his behavior in adolescence prevented the possibility of a relationship with his brother that so badly wanted to be close ]]> 2022-03-23 19:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cschrade1/k52ugph9np4buezz/wish/2110390956
