Hispanic Child Observation

521 Words3 Pages

While doing my practicum hours at the YMCA, I have observed a very diverse group of children that attend our after-school program. The biggest portion of children are hispanic, we also have a good amount of african american children. After this we have a few caucasian children, and a few asian children. Seeing as how there are more hispanic children, this is the group that I mostly work with at the YMCA. Their ages range from 4 to 11 and each of them are very different. I have noticed that the younger hispanic children 's behavior is very inconsistent. The younger children vary from day to day on how cooperative they are and how they behave. One day they will be very well mannered, and the next they will be a constant problem all day. I have …show more content…

They are constantly a problem, and always very disrespectful to the staff and everyone around them. This group is a constant challenge everyday because they think it is “cool” to be disrespectful towards the staff in front of the other children. The older hispanic children group together, and have a great amount of influence on how the other children behave. This causes the other children to lose respect for the staff and act out of line as well. The older hispanic children require more attention than anyone, because we are constantly having to try and keep them in line. It gets very frustrating, because they know what they are doing is wrong (whether its fighting other children, not listening to the teachers, etc.) but they do it anyways, they do not care. My personal opinion is that the YMCA has not served the hispanic children well overall. The teachers and staff are not as educated as they should be. They do not handle these children in the right way, they are very negative and disrespectful towards them. I feel the best way to serve the hispanic population (and every child at the YMCA) is to show the children respect, and discipline them in appropriate and effective ways. The best way to get respect is by giving it, and finding effective solutions so the children know they are not able to act like

    In this violent and demeaning of a place there is no room for goals, college, or even getting a job. Treating these kids like animals would only drive them towards this. Thankfully, we do not see this level of cruelty and discipline in school but it does make for a good analogy for today's underpaid and alternative schools. The teachers are underpaid, undereducated, overwhelmed, and overworked. With this much tension on both sides of the education process how can we expect any teaching or learning going on?

    People who come from different ethnic backgrounds, for example, children of immigrants, can be viewed as not ‘truly French’, regardless of their nationality and whether they were born in France. Religion has also become a racial indicator as certain religions are associated with specific ethnicities. Religion and cultural identity are closely linked and religious faith is often another way to convey or express one’s cultural background. In this way, religion contributes to the separation of the population and lack of integration in France, as it is emblematic of cultural differences. These differences between various ethnic groups causes a lack of identification, creating a cultural rift.

    Yes, Anglo Americans are more open with their children and engage them in more conversations than Mexican Americans do. But I believe that if more Mexican American parents would have open interaction with their children from the moment they start speaking and understanding, they would develop faster. If Mexican American children were given every opportunity that Anglo American children are given there would be no more achievement gap.

It’s interesting I came to this conclusion fast after asking them each their questions, because I barely know these two on a personal level.

Francis I met over swim class this fall at UH recreation center, so I came to the conclusion to pick two people I didn’t really know to ask these questions for this paper.

    750 Words  | 3 Pages

    I’m the first generation of my family to be Mexican -American, but I have been introduced to the Mexican culture since I was born. I appreciate the difficulties my parents have faced to make me the person that I am today even though I wasn’t born in Mexico my parents have taught me the language and the culture which I’m so proud of being part of. For others being Hispanic is actually being born in any Latin American countries which is not true at all. Being Hispanic is much more than my cultural background it actually describes how much I appreciate my culture and how I get to experience things other people don’t. I fit into the Hispanic community through the experiencing the culture first hand ,participating in traditions and planning to include my culture in my future.
