My Report on the Playhouse

I do not really like to work with kids. I try to avoid them the best that I can. I was offered to work at the Playhouse, so that I could try to change my mind about kids a little bit. Since I started working at the Playhouse, it is a little more bearable to work with kids. I can only work on Fridays because I do not have classes or clubs then. I get to the Playhouse at about one o’clock. It is a bit slow at first because school does not get out until three. At that time, some of the kids get there with their parents. They are usually playing downstairs or outside. I try to do little things like cleaning the Playhouse with one or two chores since the number of kids are some few on the only day that I can be there.

Using what I have learned in my class, I have observed one style of parenting on my first day. There is this mother with two little boys. I was warned that boys are bad little kids and the mother always talks so softly to get them to behave. They are always loud and overactive. I believe that she uses the permissive style of parenting with her children. She just seems to let the children go free until she finally got free. That was all that I really got from the first day. Maybe, I will get more and be a little more active next Friday.
