My name is Madelyn Kingan and I am going into my final year at Wheelock College. I'm studying Art therapy with a particular interest in child, adolescent and family psychology. My favorite color is red and I can recite most Disney songs. I have been babysitting since I can remember. It started with being put in charge of the children in my group and went from there. I have been formally babysitting since I was about 12/13 and have been able to keep it up since. Not only do I love children there are many occasions when I understand them. This really comes in handy when a child lashes out or when they are not communication what is going on in their head. Although children must obey, I implement a state of respect that children are often very receptive to. Playing out doors, coloring, going to the park, building pillow Read more forts, reading out load, making snacks, and having an imaginative adventure are all staples of childhood. I also understand the importance of rules and fun. As I head into my final year of Wheelock College I can confidently say that I have learned so much about the cognitive growth of children, the types of struggles that they have to face and different strategies to helping children be their best. Once I have an understanding of a parents wishes for their children I have no problem providing instruction that allows the child to have consistency from one adult to another.
