Introduction Assignment

On seeing this image, a little of me comes out as I imagine a tiny toddler, about 2 or 4

years old, sitting by the floor and clutching a doll. The child is at her stage of beating the baby

doll. She tries to show this through a raised hand. The artist painted a very realistic picture of a

kid fighting and despising an object.

The fact that I am riveted and alarmed at the same time when I am examining it is an

indication. If you are a parent or caregiver, the first time you witness your child crying out of

sadness or anxiety may be difficult. The pain may become even stronger if the source of their

distress is a toy or similar. One cannot help but wonder where the reasons for this behavior are

and if it is an obscured case of repeated similar scenarios that happened before. At the same time,

I agree that kids being emotionally disturbed is evident in the fact that adults’ reactions triggered

by their temper tantrums can be too frustrating. Thus, they look more aggressive than unwanted,

emotionally injured acts as they are.

On the one hand, I also wish to include empathy as well as a drive to help the child with

the issues she might have and to find suitable ways for the child to relieve her feelings. As

development is the time kids learn how to manage and deal with their emotions, we are also

responsible for offering them the tools and resources that help them in handling emotional

development.

The youngster's activities, in addition to the background in this picture, keep prying my

mind. It is important to find out the event or the situation that initiated this almost-violent

behavior. Is the child just mimicking the behavior observed, or does she provide explanations

and challenges that causal problems? Is this a manifestation of more extensive guardedness and

being withdrawn, or just a cry for help to understand deeper behavioral and mental problems?

Finally, this picture could be taken as a useful tip for educators trying to deal with the

hardship of being told what to do by their young students. It is through this approach that

children not only be given control and taught such fine skills as emotional control but also

encouraged to communicate freely and be kind.
