Facing Change
I do agree that changes are difficult for many people. Many of us resist changes and sometimes we think twice before submitting to any change. One of the greatest changes for me is getting a new job. Since two weeks ago, I've been in a new position. Although I have some experience, the difficulty is the age of the children. I'm a Family Service Worker for an Early Head Start program. It is a home base program for children from birth to three years old. In my job, I have to go to different places and recruit families with children within that age range and teach them some elements of child development and Early Head Start curriculum program. I have worked as a tutor before at students’ home but never worked with parents in such capacity. I will have to sit with parents and their children then teach them the curriculum. In other words, I will be taking school to the families rather than the children going school. Dealing with children between six to fourteen years old for sixteen years is different from birth to three. What was so cool, last week I was on training to use the curriculum and how to recruit families.(Stage #7:Action)

Mark,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job. Although, it seems a little bit awkard right now you will get more comfortable in your new position. The text describes the Acation phase as a good place to be because it frees us. As long as you continue to take positive action you will be able to stand tall.
