Long story short, I was supposed to volunteer ten hours at a daycare, and write an essay on how it related to psychology, but simply didn't have time too. So does anyone have any ideas or points i could discuss in which kids behaviors relate to psychology? Paper is due in two hours.. haha. Any help is much appreciated!

Nature vs. nurture

You are born with a set unique sets of genes, the environment you grow up in greatly affects how these genes develop traits.

Tons of opportunity there. Can talk about intelligence, violence, pretty much anything.

We read this wierd ass story in Civics called A Children's Story. It was about how easily children are influenced. The backdro was a communist take over and in like 28 minutes the teacher aboilshes the children's religion, respect for thier parents, their right to express themselves, and thier right to live were they want and the children are all psyched becasue of how the teacher did it.
