Thinking about your own childhood or the childhood of a friend or relative: • Describe your family structure and how your family functions. If you do not want to do a personal reflection, you can describe a friend, relative, a family of a child you have taught or cared for or even a fictional family. • What are positive and negative impacts of the family structure on the family function? • During the COVID crisis, which families might be more vulnerable? Peers (pp. 429-438): Peers become increasingly important in middle childhood. Friendships deepen and children also are faced with the increasing complexity of peer interactions and challenges with things like bullying. • Thinking back on your own childhood, ages 6-11, what was the culture of your childhood? What games did you play? How did you work out conflicts? Who were your friends? How did you learn right and wrong (moral development)? • During this COVID crisis - how are children maintaining their friendships and social interaction? You can share what you observe in your own family, reach out to families with children in this age group, or look online.
