The concept of personality refers to the profile of
stable beliefs, moods, and behavior that differentiate
children. The profiles that differentiate children across
cultures will not be the same because the most adaptive
profiles vary with the values of the society. The most
important personality profiles in a particular culture
stem from the challenges to which the children of that
culture must accommodate. Most children must deal with
three classes of external challenges:
 |
unfamiliarity, especially unfamiliar people, tasks, and situations; |
|
request by legitimate authority for conformity to and acceptance of their standards; and |
|
domination by or attack by other children. |
In addition, all children must learn to control two
important families of emotions: anxiety, fear, and guilt,
on the one hand and anger, jealousy, and resentment
on the other hand.
Creative Writing provides an environment for writers
to nurture their creativity among faculty and peers.
Students focus on the aesthetic aspects of writing and
participate in a wide variety of readings and events.
Fiction, nonfiction, or poetry are the usual areas of
specialization. These disciplines are developed through
individual mentoring, group discussions, and workshops.
Graduates of these programmes may become authors, publishers,
editors, or teachers. Most programmes have small classes
in writing and literature.
There is no doubt that the use of language shaped mankind
to its present level of progress. The ability to communicate
has often acted as a medium to help bring people closer
together. Excellent communication is an art in itself
and mastery over it is a gift.
As an important step for teaching public speaking for
children, we encourage them to look up and speak with
confidence. Good public speakers do not have their face
buried in their notes. But looking at the audience when
you speak can be scary. So we train them to become effective
public speakers. AWS offer numerous platforms for public
speaking skills.
