Watching the news there's a lot on about fostering and shortages and the amount of children in care. This morning Iv seen something im torn about, that government will tear away some of the red tape and make adoption easier. It's good to think that more children will get family's but if they stop being as picky are children goin to be put into safe homes are they going to be put at risk?...
And just wanna wish a merry Christmas to everyone xxxxx

Defending gay marriage!
Found this really interesting and hes an inspiration, im sure his mothers are proud!
Racism infront of you...
I really felt quite angry this morning... enough to ring my dad and tell him how discusted i am to related to a particular family member of ours and he completly agreed and said hes had several rows with this person.
This morning i had a very headed conversation on the internet with my family member who is going to be moving over, i seen alot of things on his fb i dont agree with so as he told me this i think he may of been expecting a nice reply of something along the lines of ...im so happy to hear that cant wait to see you. Instead from me he got 'england doesnt want you if your going to bring them edl views with you'.
He got a bit denfensive when i told him i felt he was racist and posted things i dont agree with and went on a rant of i have mexican freinds and muslim freinds...etc
and gave the usual babble about how this country is, i told him you dont study anything you dont learn about how many people are here and we only let a small amount of people from other countrys in compared to some others and he hasnt got a clue how it is over here.
He to my digust replied with 'the only different there to here is we have mexicans and you have filthy muslims'
...i said straight away that comment straight away proved my point and ur have no repect for your own freinds you have said are muslims.
And that was my rant over!

"For Lacan, it is only when the child accedes to castration and the Law of the father, that s/he becomes fully competent as a language-speaker within his/her given social collective."

Had a read from this about how there are set rules to learning lauguage, refered to as 'laws'

Gender Dysphoria
Childhood and Gender, iv been looking at an article about a little boy who from the age of 8 was living as a little girl at home, and at 9 started school as a school.
Born In The Wrong Body - Accessed 3.11.11
Born In The Wrong Body - Accessed 3.11.11
Along with this article is a clip of the mother speaking and talking about how they tried to keep there child as a boy and took away the choice of female stuff//toys. And how she heard there child upset and ashamed when the child couldnt control what was happening and when they gave into girls toys she was a much happier child. As a child of 8 new what was happening was different and not 'normal'.
As a female the changes mentioned are shes bouncy and smiles, a much happier life as the person she wants.
When listening to the child...now 16, she even sounds female has a life, the freinds and a bf and is comfortable as the person they are.
When listening to the child...now 16, she even sounds female has a life, the freinds and a bf and is comfortable as the person they are.
Parents chose to let the child make there own choice and unlike an article i previously blogged Gender Neutrality on the boy who had mistake in surgary, the choice was made by the parents and eventually returned to his biologal gender as he was unhappy. Gender being changed from looking at these needs to be something in the child that they feel needs to be done, not just done for convience.
Gender, some articles on girls and boys being compared.
Child Poverty
Some information how goverment want to deal with child poverty and there plans to get rid of it.
They want it gone by 2020, ans this has some useful links to different articles on child poverty, and the connection to education :)
In lesson i kept asking about different areas and whats considered a low income in one area may not be in another...so the article on Child Poverty Date was interesting to me about local needs assesment and helping areas that need it.

'Gender Neutrality'
Been looking into previous shows shown about gender in young children and the problems that can occur for young children...
Found one about a boy who was turned into girl because of an accident, not sure if this was the story previously mentioned to us.
A surgical accident ment the boy was bought up as a girl but eventually when an adult went back to living as a male.
The Boy who was Turned into a Girl
First shown: BBC2 9.00pm Thursday 7th December 2000
In 1965 in the Canadian town of Winnipeg, Janet Reimer gave birth to twin boys - Bruce and Brian. Six months later a bungled circumcision left Bruce without a penis. Based on a radical new theory of gender development the decision was taken to raise Bruce as a girl. In 1967 Bruce became Brenda and for the next three decades this case would be at the heart of one of the most controversial theories in the history of science.
The man behind this work was world-renowned psychologist Dr John Money. In the 1950s Dr Money developed a theory that revolutionised our understanding of gender. Money believed that what he called our 'gender identity' - what makes us think, feel and behave as boys or girls - is not fully formed by the time of birth. While we may have some innate sense of being a boy or a girl, for up to two years after birth, our brains are, in effect, malleable and we can be taught to grow up as either a boy or girl by how we are raised - by the toys we are given, the guidance we receive from adults and the clothes we are given to wear. This became known as the 'theory of gender neutrality'.
Dr Money had reached this conclusion by working with a rare group of individuals born with ambiguous genitals - people known as intersexuals or hermaphrodites. Dr Money studied groups of intersex children, and concluded that these children could be brought up as either boys or girls regardless of their genetic or physical sex. The legacy of Dr Money's work was a revolution in the treatment of 'intersex'. From the 1950s to the present day many intersex children born with a tiny penis are reassigned as female even if they are actually genetically male.
But not everyone agreed with Dr Money's theories. Since the 1950s a small group of scientists including Dr Milton Diamond have questioned John Money's work. Diamond believed that our sex is already defined in our brains before we are born. He was convinced that the power of our genes and hormones was so strong that no amount of nurturing could override them.
But John Money's theory had already become firmly accepted around the world and the most dramatic confirmation of the theory came from one particular case - the case of Bruce Reimer.
Bruce was a normal boy, not an intersex child, and yet the decision was made to turn this boy who had lost his penis, into a girl. Under the guidance of Dr Money and his team at Johns Hopkins University this baby boy was surgically changed into a girl. After surgeons at Hopkins had castrated baby Bruce, he became baby Brenda. The family were instructed how to bring up Brenda as a normal little girl. According to Dr Money's theory she would grow up believing herself to be female and would go on to live a normal happy life as a woman. It seemed the ultimate test that nurture could override nature.
Thirty years after Bruce became Brenda, the impact of this extraordinary story continues. After almost 14 years living as a female, Brenda Reimer reverted to her true biological sex - the case of the boy who was turned into a girl had failed. Brenda took the name David and for the last twenty years he has lived anonymously in his hometown of Winnipeg. For almost all this time no one knew the outcome of John Money's celebrated case. But now that David has gone public, the case is being widely discussed once again and its impact on John Money's theory of gender development and the treatment of intersex children is being hotly debated.

History Of Childhood - Medieval
So i had a look into childhood in the medieval times, and there was different views on how children were seen and how they should of been seen.
Bringing children into the world should of been a happy time we celebrate birth and the news of someone being pregnant and the child being bought into the world. In this time there was joy but also a extreme sense of danger, with the lack of anaesthetics and other infection fighting drugs there was alot more risk of what could happy to mother and baby.
Relgion had a big effect on children, the catholic church was against woman having official roles but this was changed for midwives to be able to baptize a baby in extreme circumstances, a baby was not aloud to die without being baptized.
Ages of children didnt matter to them described as 'imperfect adults' in A History of Childhood, Colin Heywood.
They were put into the world of adults at an early age to help work of parents or take on apprenticships.

Freud's Psychosexual Stages
So had a look at theorist, and when with searching Freuds Pychosexual theory.
From reading about him, he believes there are different stages, and each stage is important for healthy development. If a stage is missed...it can have a bad impact later on or effect the next stage.
The stages:
- oral stage
- anal stage
- phallic stage
- latency stage
- genital stage

One Week Down
So...im not used to this blogging thing.
I am worried that its just another thing to do on the overload of information buzzing around my head atm.
But i am a believer in the saying 'dont nock it till you've tried it' , so here is my first blog!
Iv always worked with teenagers so this is going to be a really different side of it for me, but like everyone else on the '2+2 childhood studies' course its the route to get where i want to be.
The work looks hard but really interesting, im looking forward to get on with it properly so i can work out the time managment side.
Straight away connecting with people i have enjoyed i personally work better in an environment where i feel i know the people and be comfortable to contribute.
Bring On The 3rd October!
