Write a 300-word essay, poem, or any other free association piece about a child whose world you have agreed to live in for one day. I would like for you to use the title “Through My World: A Life in the Day with __________. This blank space should be filled with any DSM V childhood disorder (depression, schizophrenia, etc…) or event of your choosing (loss, divorce, etc..). There are really no requirements for this assignment except your ability to demonstrate your knowledge of the disorder or the event and its’ social/emotional impact on the child. These effects may look differently at different developmental stages/ages, so take that into consideration when you are writing your piece.
