Shifting the Paradigm

 I am posting this blog a bit later but I still wanted to get it up before the day ended. Reading this article was really easy because I already read it a few weeks ago in my FNED class that I always have with Leslie. Reading it the first time was also easy to grasp but reading the second time I was even more familiar and immedietly thought of us reviewing the article in class. I agree with the asset model over the deficit model in a school system because it is a more positive and affective way of teaching/learning. Humans in general respind better to positive feedback rather than negative feedback, and I know I am more intrigued to put in effort when I am being cheered on. I feel as though kids respond better to this type of treatment, and you can see it in small day to day details. This example is a little different but when a baby who cant even talk yet falls down most of theroom gasps, the mom runs over with a dramatic reaction checking up on the now screaming child. In lots of cases, and even proven in tik tok trends, sometimes a child isnt reacting to pain but to the tone they were spoken in. I will paste a tik tok giving a visual example of what I mean. This article also believes this applies to learning or behavior. My first time reading this I compared it to the labeling theory, "The labeling theory is a perfect example of why we cannot put a spotlight on what is "wrong" or "bad" behavior by children. In this theory, it is expressed how the more you tell a kid they are deviant, the more the rest of the world and the child themselves will permanently believe it. When a negative trait about a child is drilled into their heads, it is likely that they will internalize this behavior. This can lead to secondary deviance, when a person acts out more deviant roles in order to confirm the label and fulfill that role. On the contrary, the more you tell someone, or even yourself, affirming thoughts, the more likely we are to believe those, too. I believe this from personal experience, as lately I have been practicing affirmations and reminding myself I am exactly who I think I am, not who others tell me I am. This applies to children, especially due to how much they are at a young age. "(from my FNED blog). This reading is a bit light and repetative but it is short enough and important to put into prespective. 

Here is a tik tok compilation of my example ( I guess this applies to pets too lol) https://www.tiktok.com/@wheninmanila/video/7387342333404122389?lang=en
