Choosing from the Constructive Use of Time AssetsWhich do you believe is the most important in the healthy development of Middle ChildhoodDo 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.If you do not have your own experience, explain how this asset would affect a child's development during middle childhood.
In the healthy development of middle childhood, I think that time at home- which is where a child spends some time most days in high-quality interaction with parents and doing things at home other than watching tv or playing video games- is the most important. My mom did not work while I was a child, so I got to spend a lot of time with her. I loved always having my mom around to play with and talk to. We would do things like go to the park and play games, which kept me from always watching television. With my mom at home, she also got to teach me things, such as my abc's. She even made up a fun game to play to help me learn them. My mom was my best freind and I looked up to her as a role model and somebody I wanted to be like. She modeled good behavior to me and she taught me how to be a good person. I still look up to my mom as a rolemodel today. I feel that my mom has had a great impact on me and who I am today. In having her around so much, she kept me out of trouble and taught me good values that I will use for the rest of my life. This is why I beleive it is important for every child to have time at home to spend with those close to them.

I agree with your answer. This also the asset i chose. I agree that your parents can teach you things when you are younger and that it is important for a parent to model good behavior so the child will have good behavior also!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

I agree. :D
Time at home is most important because when children interact with their parents in other ways than watching TV or playing video games, they form a closer bond with them. The more positive interaction that occurs, the healthier the relationship between the parent and child will be, which will in turn affect their development in later years. Children are also able to learn both good behavior and life skills by spending time with their parents at home.
