How am I feeling? what a question lately hey!!😢😢 I was tested positive for COVID 19, boy can I tell you about it, it is hell!! Covid  had so much effect on  myself and my family. My mom, dad and sister also was positive it is tough cause both my parents is in remission so while I had to recover I had to look after them too.  My BF lost his granny and all this happen in the 10 days of our isolation, our whole lives changed in blerrie 10 days no warning!!!💣💣💣😕😔 I have so much feelings its undescribed able😞😞😞 My heart is heavy!!

This week we came out isolation, so it means I am back at work, I did not expect flowers nor a banner on welcoming me back but I did not expect to be treated like I had AIDS, what I can really say people can be so fake😳😳😳😳!!! The way they treat a person I did not go look for Covid and I sure did not ask to get it but I did anyone can actually get HALLO we mos fighting a global pandemic but somehow people tend to judge or not even speak to you but I guess I am also okay with it I do not need that negativity in my life. Whole week I feel so angry how selfish people are and how they handling covid. I am more scared to leave my house, I am scared I get it again, I am terrified !!!!!. I take much longer to get myself focus. I get more tired😢😢 as the doctor say I still have a long way to recover I still cannot smell or taste 👃👅😒, it is so annoying. I live more now in fear. I tend to be more on my own and also tend to shut people out. I do not go in the shops yet I am not ready😔. My mental health took a huge knack, my health is still in recovery and emotionally I am still hurt! We taking it day by day I guess.

Due to feeling ill😪😪, I struggle to balance work and my studies at this moment. I need to catch up both sides and it makes me feel very anxious, but I believe in myself I will overcome this what I am facing.👏👏

PART : 2

ERIKSON:

It is at this stage that the child’s peer group will gain greater significance and will become a major source of the child’s self-esteem. The child now feels the need to win approval by demonstrating specific competencies that are valued by society and begin to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments. If children are encouraged and reinforced for their initiative, they begin to feel industrious (competent) and feel confident in their ability to achieve goals. If this initiative is not encouraged, if it is restricted by parents or teacher, then the child begins to feel inferiour , doubting his own abilities and therefore may not reach his or her potential.

If the child cannot develop the specific skill they feel society is demanding (e.g., being athletic) then they may develop a sense of Inferiority.

Some failure may be necessary so that the child can develop some modesty. Again, a balance between competence and modesty is necessary. Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of competence.

PIAGET:

Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that intelligence changes as children grow. A child's cognitive development is not just about acquiring knowledge, the child has to develop or construct a mental model of the world.

VGOTSKY:

The zone of proximal development is the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.

All elements is highlight for me, as its just not the body that's developing but also the brain needs stimulation when developing the learner in music. 

PART : 3

At the moment I have no confidence in teaching music as I have no knowledge or enough background to implement in my classroom, as from my personal experience in classroom I do not sometimes get time to do music ( Life skills) . But I am eager to abroad my knowledge in LSKM so that I can implement it more and as I said to create activities that is suitable for my age group or Foundation phase.

Lastly....

Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression. For children and adults, music helps strengthen memory skills.
