I Am Feeling...
- I still learn best by obtaining small pieces of information at a time.
- I can cooperate with others and am gaining confidence in my abilities. I am more responsible for my actions, but may sometimes choose to ignore the rules. I enjoy role-playing activities.
- I can assume greater responsibilities and like to take a leadership role.
- Sometimes I may take on too much because I have a greater sense of independence. I can become frustrated when I do not grasp a new skill right away. I may rush through my assignments just to get them done. I benefit from adult encouragement to help me overcome challenges and feel successful again.
- I am starting to develop special hobbies and interests, as well as form expanded social networks. I want to be accepted by my peers.
- At age 10, I can recognize other people’s perspectives. I can participate in conflict resolution with my peers. We can work together to correct social concerns with our peers.
