Support Systems

  Support Systems are very important to everyday life. Just imagine having a classroom of eighteen preschoolers with no help from an adult daily. It would be a truly haywire experience. This is the first support system that I will talk about since we are all educators; and that person is my assistant. She is like my backbone in the classroom. We are both present to support each other and we both stand in support of the eighteen children that we are guiding educationally and emotionally on an everyday basis. Our family service worker provides support to our parents and our center supervisor provides guidance and support to us teachers.
  Within the home, my husband and I support our children by encouraging them as well as giving them food and shelter, as this was our given duty to do so. My children's teachers provide support to a continual education. My children themselves even provide support to us. We give children chores to teach them all about responsibility; but if you think about it, they are support systems to us because they help us in keeping up with the daily maintenance on our house.
   Not only do support systems occur with family members inside the home, but they occur with family members that live outside of the house as well. For example, when my grandmother or my parents babysit for us on occasion, they are providing support to my immediate family. When I provide transportation to my grandmother to and from the doctor, I am providing support to her. Or when my parents need their dog to be taken to the vet, I am providing support to them as well.
  In conclusion support is the very reason why something ends up successful. When two teachers support each other for the greater outcome of the child, then that classroom becomes a successful classroom. When parents support each other, the greater the chance at running a successful household where children feel loved and are learning responsibility, so that they may be able to run a successful household one day. Support is needed in all aspects of our everyday life!

  1. Shawanza,
    Teachers do play an important role in children’s educations. As you stated, they need the support of a strong partnership in order for the children to be successful. When children feel the support from their teachers, then they have a sense of belonging. I agreed that people are stronger when everyone works together and supports each other. Enjoy your blog.

  2. Grandmother or mother's support is one I have benefited immensely from, they really come very handy at very short notice. I love the support from your children.
    Much love.
