CHFD230 Week 1 Discussion Introductions and Messages about Children

This discussion contains 2 parts. Please include both parts in the same post.

Part 1: Please introduce yourself to the class by telling us a little bit about who you are, where you're from, what brings you to this class, hobbies, etc.

Part 2: Think back over your childhood…what role did children play in your home – how were children viewed? What things did you hear people say about children? For example, "Children should be seen and not heard" or were they called derogatory terms such as "rug rats."

How did those messages impact your view of children then vs. now?

How do those messages reflect our view (as a society) of children and how they are treated?

Make sure to support your answers with facts from the lesson/lectures.

Learn something new! Please do an internet search and see what you can find out about the history of Child Welfare in the State you live in. (Don't forget to cite your source.) Here is my example: "In 1906, the Georgia legislature established legal grounds for a children's court. The first juvenile court in Georgia was established in Fulton County in 1911. Today, every county in Georgia has a juvenile court." (Georgia Legal Aid)
