Answer to Question #202142 in Psychology for Charlise

Question

What does the concept "Your child is my Child" mean? What can be seen as experiences of this concept and how can a life skills teacher apply this in the classroom?

Answer 1

The concept “Your child is my child” is best brought out in our society and especially neighborhoods where someone who knows someone else’s child would not allow him or her to follow a wrong path which they know is not right. This concept can best be used in classrooms by life skills teachers. I’ll ise an example to best explain this.

A good example is in the case of girls. The challenges girls face mostly concern their sexuality and especially in their teenage age. A good life skills’ teacher while teaching girls, would be able to guide them the best way possible if he or she would take them as their own. This way, they would stress on the importance of taking care of themselves because if anything happened to them, the impact would also fall on them and therefore the need to avoid this by providing good guidance will benefit their students in the long run
