This class has been good and has opened my eyes to what many children have to face, such as poverty, war, and parents who are incarcerated. Not only that, it has opened my eyes to my own biases and what I am willing and not willing to do to change these. While there are some things I am willing to work on, some things go against my beliefs, but I hope that this will not impact my work with children.
I hope that when I work with children and families coming from diverse backgrounds I am able to make a difference. I hope that I can show that families need to stick together, and regardless of your circumstances, you can still love and support your children.
A goal I have for the early childhood field is to try and focus more on those families that are having a hard start. I have a friend with two children who just cannot seem to get a break. I realize that it varies from state to state as far as what is offered, but it seems she can't get the help she needs. And she just needs that boost to help her get on her feet and get on her own. I would like to see more programs designed for these types of families.
Thank you so much-to the class-for your comments and support and I wish you the best of luck in your future classes and your work with families.

I think that is a wonderful goal. So many families do have a rough start. Sometimes all it takes is a little help to get them back on track. You are right, it does vary from state to state, but it would be so beneficial if all states provided enough support and resources to help those families who are having a rough start. Good Luck in your future classes!
I love how you want to show adults that no matter the situation, we need to love and support children. I feel some adults forget that through difficult times, children suffer just as much or more than adults. Good luck to you in your next course!
