Teaching is a very rewarding job and a valuable career. The teacher's main role is to promote each child's knowledge and understanding within the class, which can sometimes be very difficult. Although I am not yet a teacher, I have had many educational interactions with children. I am a math teacher for an elementary school student named Chaniya who lives in my neighborhood and, also, a nanny for a two-year-old girl named Regina. In this article I intend to discuss the educational experiences I have had with each child and how I have helped them achieve their educational goals. The children I normally work with are still in their sensitive period. The sensitive period is the age range during which a certain aspect of a child's development is particularly susceptible to environmental conditions (Ormrod, 2008 p. 25). While in their sensitive period children are influenced by environmental factors such as parenting practices, family structures, educational activities at home and community learning opportunities. I believe that all of these factors influence a child's educational opportunities. A child learns to adapt and make acquisitions in his sensitive period. There are various stages of the sensitive period that are determined by the age of the child. The age usually ranges from birth to six years of age. The children I have worked with both fall into the age range of birth to six years. There are many aspects to a child's sensitive period. First, I will discuss the parenting practices of the children I work with. Parenting styles have been described as the set of parental behaviors that create an atmosphere of parent-child interaction in all situations (Menon, 2013). Both girls want to work with children and fit into the infrastructure of the educational process that will develop throughout their lives. Works Cited Ballarini, F., Martinez, M. C., Perez, M.
