...Section A Childraising. The way to raise a child is different form the three texts. The topic of the three texts is freedom and love. It is how you chose to interpret the texts. I think it is love because every parents use love to raise their Childs. To have a mother who decide everything in your childhood. To parents who give you all the space you need to be free and live your childhood completely. The three texts are just some few examples of raise a child. You cannot find a guide to raise a child. To have a “tiger mother” is the way to be the perfect raised child. It is just the mother, who thinks it is the best way to be the best raised child. And the mother decides the Childs childhood. Then if you have parents who let you make your own choices. To make your own choices and mistakes make you to a stronger person. It make you to the person you are not the one you want to be. A.S. Neill has written a book, which is called “Summerhill – a radical approach to child rearing”. It is about how to raise a child. The third text is a section of his book. A.S. Neill is using factual information to engage us throughout the text. “Nijinsky could not pass his exams in St. Petersburg, and he could not enter the State Ballet without passing those exams.” (p. 7, l. 3-4) This quote is something that most young people can relate to.

...Is there really a defined right or wrong way to raise your child? How do you make sure the child you are raising becomes a productive member of society? How can you be sure that everything you have taught him is what he needs to know to tackle life? Did I discipline him enough, does he know right from wrong? Many parents ask themselves questions like these daily. But how do you know if you are raising your child right? I mean there is no degree in parenting. You take what you know from growing up and decided I want to be like my parents, or I will never be like my parents. I guess there is no sketched out map to raise your child correctly, but there are key things every parent needs to remember. Being a good parent requires you to be their parent not their best friend, discipline and most importantly love and nurture. To many parents these days feel they need to be their child’s best friend, they worry too much about how their child views them. A parent should be a good role model, model the behavior they wish there kids to show. But being their best friend will only hinder your child in the long run. They need someone who will set boundaries, someone who will discipline and someone who they can turn to when they need advice. I think it is important to be involved with your child’s life, but a parent must remember their involvement needs to be limited to being a parent and not a friend. Your child should be able to turn to you when they need advice or they are in trouble,...

...Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior There are a lot of different ways to raise your child and a lot of different views on which way is right and which way is wrong. Every parent wants to believe that their way of upbringing their child is the right way. That is no different from Amy Chua. In her article “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior”, she compares the way Chinese children and Western children are raised. From Amy Chua’s point of view Western parents are just not strict enough “All the same, even when Western parents think they’re strict, they usually don’t come close to being Chinese mothers.”. She believes in the Chinese parenting way Amy Chua is a professor at Yale Law School in the USA. She has a husband called Jed as well as to children, Sophia and Louisa. The text is a non-fiction article. The Wall Street Journal is a newspaper only published in the Western countries and therefore we must assume that the headline “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” is a name that will cause outrage in the Western. She mostly speaks to Western parents or couples who either have children or is planning to. One of Amy Chua’s ways to draw the reader is by using provocation, for example by naming the article something, which degrades the readers parenting skills. When Chua has drawn the reader’s attention she engages them further by creating a sort of credibility by using herself as an example. She gives herself, as an example because she has had experience with both types of parenting...

...Material Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will answer. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask, “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, remember that you need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question you genuinely want to know the answer to. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad (covering too much) or too narrow (covering too little). It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. Part 1: Complete the Research Plan |What is your general topic or area of interest? |My general topic of interest is Drugs.

...As a child, I have always been taught to trust the doctor because, “The doctor knows best”. As time went on and now a mother, I find that statement to be very misleading. You always hear and read different stories about doctors’ who diagnose a patient’s problem to early, and those who just make mistakes and misdiagnose a patient completely. That’s why I choose to do my paper on Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, better known as ADHD. According to Carey, 1 to 2 percent of children likely have a brain malfunctions that warrant classification of something like ADHD, but that another 5 to 10 percent who are diagnosed with ADHD should not be (Carey, 2002). ADHD is a psychological disorder in which the individual shows one or more of the following characteristics over a period of time: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity (King, 2008, p.531). This is very confusing to me because these certain characteristics are the same as of a young child. Honestly speaking my five year old daughter attention span is very short and at times can be unmanageable. So does that put her in the category of hyperactive or inattentive? As a parent you have to learn how to make adjustments in your life to raise a good respectable child. You may have to change your parenting according to your child’s personalities. Researchers say that you may need to change the child’s environment to see a change in their behavior. As a mother I would rather change my daughter environment than to have her...

Home schooling has a lot of different benefits not having to worry about time, and it has been said that it makes kids smarter. When your child goes to a school you have to make sure to get them on the bus, then off the bus especially with smaller children. It takes a lot of time and you have to have a plan for what is going to happen every day your child attends school. In most schools there are so many kids it is hard for children to get that individual time, well not for home schooled children they can get all the one on one time needed because their parents are teaching them and there are only a 2 or 3 children instead of 25. This gives your child better encouragement and helps them learn something better making them smarter, then a child that does not get the individual time at a school. Private schooling has been an option in the school system for a long time. It is not the best thing...

...Putting aside your entire life and giving up everything to satisfy the needs of your baby is not an easy or painless task. The immense pressure to do the best you possibly can for your child poses a huge responsibility on parents. In my opinion, the critiques condemnation of attachment parenting is not fair. I believe that the concept of attachment is reasonable and infact necessary for infants to develop into skilled, independent and mature individuals who share a strong emotional bond with their parents. First and foremost, it is essential to know what Attachment parenting is all about? It is ‘an approach of raising children who are well connected to their parents rather than a strict set of rules.’A common misconception that people have is considering intensive mothering to be a synonym for attachment parenting. Intensive mothering is based on the idea of completely sacrificing your needs and desires and devoting your life to your child or in other words letting your child dictate your life. Most of the articles such as Dr. Laura’s neighborhood focuses on the extreme extent people go to in order to raise their child in the “perfect” way. The author in a rather sarcastic tone aims to make the readers realize that even in the 1970’s and 80’s parents raised babies who turned out to be just fine without ‘the concern that they aren’t spending enough time with their kids and needing to demonstrate in countless ways each and everyday that you really, really love your child’. It lays...

...Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior Non-fiction analysis How can you give your children the best upbringing as possible? Is it by being strict and fill their lives with rules? Or is it better to give them the opportunity to decide for themselves? Amy Chua would definitely choose the first option and in her article, “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” which is written in January 2011, we hear a lot about her grounds for why she thinks the first option is the right one. Amy Chua who writes the article “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” is an approved lawyer and works as a professor at Yale Law School in USA. Already from that information we can guess that she is very well educated. She mentions that she knows that there are a lot of people wondering what it is like inside a Chinese family who has all these limits and strict rules. Amy Chua knows what it is like, because she is raised by that way herself and she has done it towards her two daughters, Sophia and Louise, as well. Amy has established the ground rules, and defined some things Sophia and Louise were never allowed to do. Already in the beginning of the article Amy Chua engages the reader with the list she revalue with all these things that her daughters were never allowed to do. As readers we quickly make a picture of this way of raising children seems harsh and maybe even brutal. There are so many normal things on the list that almost every child gets to do where Chinese children are missing out. Amy Chua...

...Are Fathers Necessary for Children’s Well-Being? Abraham Bartoah [Institutional Affiliation(s)] Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Gender Abstract The content of this essay is to observe my opinion on fathers and how they impact growth of a child. This essay will note from the text researches conducted on others view on the topic. Also it will explain in detail my thought and opposition I have after reading the text. Are Fathers Necessary for Children’s Well-Being? Since Adam and Eve the idea of there being a mother and father to raise a child has existed. But most certainly since then the world and ways of life have changed drastically. In today society many can argue the importance of having father around to raise a child. It can also be argued that father or no father a child can grow up to just as healthy and able as a child raised with both parents. From personal experience the need of a father in a child growth is not crucial. Being a boy doesn’t mean that only a male can teach you to be a man. There are many aspects to child growth that anyone can provide whether it’s a mother and father, just a father or just a mother. I feel that child growth is more based on the personality and attitudes that that child is surrounded by. According to professor Natasha J. Cabrera and the EHS studies they suggest that a father who has a highs school degree or higher have their children performing better in development. this in my opinion isn’t accurate. The test conducted where only conducted...
