Lessons learnt so far on this semester and what is meaningful life to me and how can we
teach this to our children
In this semester, the topics that I have learnt has major implications in our lives. Over the
entire course, I have been able to gather together several things about my own life. It has helped
me to perceive things in a different light. Since, I am now exposed to the realm of psychology, I
can understand the reasons of some of my behavioural pattern. The course semester, has also
helped me to understand about the self- care aims like creativity, achievement, meditation and
mindfulness.
In this semester, we have learnt about the different contextual and the cultural issues that
are impacting on the student and the wellbeing of the staffs in an educational setting. I have
learnt about the development of resilience and the development of theory of mind enhancing the
cognitive growth of the children (Skinner & Pitzer, 2012). While learning psychology, I have
come to know about several illnesses that children suffer from. Due to their extensive
curriculum, they are faced with extreme stresses. I have learnt why resilience in children is
crucial for a number of reasons, as it enables a person to cope up against experiences that could
be inspiring, as it helps us to maintain or balance our lives during the stressful period of time and
also helps us from developing any mental health problems. Apart from instilling good values to
our children, we should also teach our children to develop self- resilience (Yeager & Dweck,
2012). This course has taught me about some strong processes to develop resilience. It is
necessary to teach the children that, it is not always self-reliance, determination or inner strength
that leads kids via the adversity, but is the reliable presence of supportive relationship.
