Journal #4- Constructive Use of Time

Choosing from the Constructive Use of Time Assets:
Which do you believe is the most important in the healthy development of Middle Childhood?
Do you have any experiences that you can remember from your own childhood that you can write about that reinforce why this is the most important asset?
What effect did this experience have on who you are today?
I believe that the "time at home" assest is the most important in the healthy development of middle childhood. I believe this because when i was young, and even in the present day, my parents have always give us different chores to complete around the house with our brothers and sisters. This presented me with time away from the classroom, friends, and the television- and really allowd me to focus on my relationship and bonds within the family. I also enjoy(ed) working with my hands and doing things constructively, it made me feel like i accomplished an important task. Chopping wood, stacking wood, raking leaves, filling in potholes, picking up sticks, building the barn and my sisters houses all consist of more than one person and my family is always willing to help one another. I have never been into the whole video game scene because thats not how i was brought up- we have never owned a type of video game ever and will continue to stay that way. It doesn't provide us with any benefits that'll take us far in life. I believe that this time spent with the family has had a major impact on the hardworking, motivated person that i am today. This is why i believe time at home is the most important asset.
