John is a shy child, playing solitarily within the areas of choice. Mom's very concern with him interacting with others and his social skills. John has made progress in social skills. I buddie him up with another child who was experiencing the same weakness. He will work alongside of one another as he progress I encouraged him to add a friend to his circle nof friends.

John's area of interest is the block area and he focus on building tower, constructing, buildings of various, with most of the designs being along the line of matrix, full of color, size variation, texture; such as mixing plastic legos with wooden blocks, tounge depressures, or the snap sticks. All of these enhances his visual design.

John now gets excited when he is praised for his work and when he is encouraged to invite a friend of choice. John has learned to play with each of his classmates; which has helped his shyness now become a child who feel loved by all, and give warmth and love to all as well.

One step at a time, finding a child with similarity and encouragement to try a new and unfamiliar task.

Allow John to choose activity that involve two or more children and to do activities of his choice as a family.

Journal Entry 7

On this episode of What Not to Wear they had a 32 year old Mmommy Blogger by the name of Amanda. Amnda started her own parenting blog that has now become very successful; however she sufferes from serious self-esteem issues. Since having her first child at the age of 22 she has put taking care and love herslelf on the back burner. Amanda felt that since now having three children her weight just made her unattractive and not beautiful at all. She felt that since she worked behind the computer that what she wore on a daily basis really was important. Amanda's wardrobe consissted of sweats, t-shirts, tennis shoes, and oversized clothes. She used her blogging persona as the persona she wants to be but is not confident to be. When she went on the shopping spree and begain to try on the clothes she said may negative things about herself that was hamful but she said it with a smile. When asked why is she smiling when saying negative things she stated that there is a difference in a happy smile, sad smile, or a inappropriate smile.

The dressing tips that they gave her was to just take a little more time on focusing on herself to help enhance her self-esteem and confidence, and learn how to take compliments as a compliment not as a negative point. They advised her that dresses are good for mothers because they are one piece and easy to put on and go, and since most women that have children has a pouch afterwards defining their waist line and small point is what is important when looking for something that will look good to wear. They also told her that wearing a traditional jacket takes a outfit to casual from business and thats is a good piece to add, along with accessories to add color. Amanda's hair was very curly and she had a lot of it, so they added layers, and volume to enhance movemnent to accent her already beautiful curl  and to add softness, and body to fit her personality, at the same time creating a time saver hairstyle. She never learned how to wear makeup so they showed her a very simple way to add makeup to her everyday look and look presentable.

This episode I feel was a good episode that is much needed for alot of mothers because after having children alot of them have to deal with the stress of being bigger than what they were before children, and at times that can become overwhelming and cause them to fall off from taking care of themselves. Self-esteem is exactally what is say it is self feeling; they way one feels about themself, and noone give you self-esteem but you. So feeling beautiful, loving, sexy, etc.... all starts within yourself and this episode was not only a clothing change for Amanda but it was a self-esteem and life changing experience for her. She statated that now she know how important it is for her to feel good because it reflects on how her children and family will feel as well.
