Cause and effect

        When doing what I do for a living, there are many times I question myself. There are many cause, and effect situations at my job. For instance, if I only give Natasha two out of her four pieces of toast this morning, she is going to throw a temper trantrum, and upset the rest of the house by being loud. This will also effect her ability to function until lunch. She will be hungry, so therefore tired. This will throw off her whole schedule for the day.

       What if I leave my students with a staff that has her own two students? Someone could get hurt, or need to go to the bathroom, but has no one to take them. Someone might need sensory input, and not get it because the lack of staff-student numbers. This could be a situation of neglect, injury, and scheduling. On my part this would be a failure as a staff. This could students and staff in a dangerous position.

     My job, and the institution I work it is a good example of cause and effect. Everything you do at Chileda has a Cause-effect situtaion and silution. I think in these terms every day. Like if I call in sick, we are going to be short staffed. If I ignore a child, they could get angry or feel neglected. Every day life is about cause and effect situations. One just needs to think things through before doing things. When doing things on a whym, to many situations arise. So think about what you do before you do it.

  1. I liked how you portrayed cause and effect at your job. Your right in everything that you do will have a effect on what happens next. Nice job, just a few spelling issues

  2. I also work in Health care, and work wiht a different population then you. This is very difficult to keep their schedule consistent. This is the same where I work also. Everyone should think about the cause and effects of things they say and do, since they can effects someone greatly.
