...Johnathan Melicia Thomas Riddle Eng. 111 July 2, 2015 Free Range Parenting In the article “ There’s Never Been a Safer Time to be a Kid in America,” by Christopher Ingraham, spring folds the spotlight parents are put on about letting their kids have free range while being unsupervised or having to be by their side while the child is wanting to go somewhere just down the road. This has parents contemplating on letting their child be alone even though there really is no reason to be dwelling over the worst that can happen. Marc Elrich, chairman of the Montgomery County Council’s Public Safety Committee, refers to Ingraham by stating “walked more than a mile on his own to school” and baffled that “All of our parents would have been in jail” if there was a problem with letting your kids walk safely down the road. Thus persuading the fact that kids should be able to be unsupervised because it is safer than it used to be; for example, child mortality rates have decreased, abduction rates have dropped, and children pedestrians being struck in traffic had fallen tremendously. The importance of imagery in this article is used to give the audience a sense of direction in order to see Ingraham’s point of view. He gives a clear analogy of how two siblings, 6 and 10, were walking home when they got picked up by the police and detain them in the car for three hours. Ingraham uses the words “searching for you frantically” to give the audience an image of what the parents would be doing...

Background Information: FreeRange Poultry Inc. in Lufkin, Texas specializes in the processing and sale of chicken parts, chicken by-products to large restaurant chains and food companies. Some of its products are also exported overseas. 2. Consulting Tasks: FreeRange Poultry Inc. has retained our consulting services to analyze its production operations and to recommend a monthly production plan that maximizes profits. 3. Approach: We used Lingo 14.0 for the modeling software. It offers great advantages over Excel Solver, such as debugging and syntax correction functions and ease of data entry. After analyzing the process flow, we decided to set-up our model in 3 sections: Section 1: Demand Section 2: Supply Section 3: Process Some of the supplies had to be broken down into products and by-products to accurately model the relationship between products purchased and products sold. This represented a unique challenge, since there is the option to purchase some products vs. using by-products from the process. In the subsequent tables we will show...

...Alvaro M. Alegre Professor Russell Green Composition II Free-range parenting: What is so bad about it? Even though the fear of kidnapping when kids are left alone is present on many parents the benefits of allowing children to work and play independently builds confidence and skills. Kids take risks naturally (climbing to the top of a monkey bar, jumping out of the stairs) despite the potential of failure because they want to grasp new skills and becoming more mature and responsible of their own actions. When I was a kid growing up in Peru I remember every single kid in my neighborhood would be at the park jumping and running around. I even remember going with my buddies to the local store that was about 10 block away of our houses. It is just the way you grew up over there. Yes, you see some parents at the park watching out for their kids too but that was usually to the facts that the kids were too small or have no older siblings to watch for them. That is why when I move to the suburbs of Virginia, at the age of 17, surprised me to see all the parks and streets deserted, no kids playing ball or running around. When I start doing my research for this project I learned a lot about the way people see this “free-range” parenting. I think that just putting labels it’s problematic, like Ruth Paris, a professor at Boston University’s School of Social Work, said “generally speaking, parents should make decisions based on their family dynamics, not because they subscribe to...

...“Children of Mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder: Identifying Parenting Behaviors as Potential Targets for Intervention” According to the study, children of mothers suffering with Borderline Personality Disorders (BPD) should be classified as being in a high-risk group. BPD characteristics include: unhealthy and stormy relationships, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger and emotional instability, thought disturbances and continual suicidal ideations. Generally speaking, persons with BPD are miserable, even after their suicidal thoughts and impulsivity subside. A larger percentage of those diagnosed with BPD are women (in clinical settings, 75%) and in the U.S., there are over six million women diagnosed with BPD. One can conclude that a large number of these women are mothers. The issue concerning the general public is that functional impairment is a major characteristic of someone with BPD; mixed in with the large number of mothers with BPD, this becomes an important issue. The study aims to review the implications on children of mothers with BPD and those interventions which can minimize the impact on these kids and help the mothers to become better parents (Stepp S, Whalen D, Pilkonis P, Hipwell A, Levine M. 2011). Evidence does exist to show that mothers with BPD sometimes transmit their disorder to their offspring. There was a four to twenty fold increase in BPD prevalence in diagnoses and traits within first degree relatives. It seems...

...infant is born, the brain starts to immediately go through several developmental changes. Normal cognitive growth in a child is dependent on the right types of environmental exposures. “Authoritative parents will also allow children to be independent, which teaches kids that they are capable of accomplishing things on their own, helping to foster strong self-esteem and self-confidence”. Although these different types of parents may value obedience and discipline, they will sometimes use punishment when their children do not do what they expect them to do. Permissive parents are different they have very few limits on their children and often will not give them any household responsibilities. This type of parenting is believed to encouraging and allows their children to be free thinkers and to make their own decisions. Infancy and Early Childhood Development During the first two years of an infant’s life body changes take place in the body, mind, and social relationships. The brain triples in size the digestive system begins to accommodate food, which helps to nourish the brain and body so that the child will grow. It is important during this time to stimulate the infant so the child can reach its full potential (Berger, 2011). In order to figure out what type of stimulation is needed the caregiver must follow the baby’s lead. Infants respond to what their brain needs which is why they like to look at different objects and listen to other individuals. The first...

Sam Cartwright-Hatton, D Phil, Clin PsyD, Deborah McNally, RMN, RGN, Clin PsyD, Caroline White, Clin PsyD, and Chrissie Verduyn, Msc, PhD PROBLEM: A number of interventions are effective in treating older children with internalizing symptoms. However, little is known about the efficacy of psychological interventions in treating younger children. This study examined the impact on internalizing symptoms of a parenting skills training program. METHODS: Forty-three parents took part in a parenting skills training program. Externalizing and internalizing behaviors were measured before and after treatment and after a 6-month period. FINDINGS: Externalizing symptoms fell after treatment.

Guajardoa,Ã, Gregory Snyderb and Rachel Petersenc Department of Psychology, Christopher Newport University, Newport News, V A, USA b Children’s Hospital, Omaha, NE, USA c Psychological Assessment Specialists, Pocatello, ID, USA a The present study included observational and self-report measures to examine associations among parental stress, parental behaviour, child behaviour, and children’s theory of mind and emotion understanding. Eighty-three parents and their 3- to 5-year-old children participated. Parents completed measures of parental stress, parenting (laxness, overreactivity), and child behaviour (internalizing, externalizing); children completed language, theory of mind, and emotion understanding measures. Parent–child interactions also were observed (N 5 47). Laxness and parenting stress predicted children’s theory of mind performance and parental usage of imitative gestures and vocalizations accounted for unique variance in emotion understanding. Associations also were found between child behaviour and emotion understanding. Results provide support for direct and indirect associations between parent–child interactions and early social-cognitive development. Copyright r 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

...Parenting and the different ways it can affect children’s lives: research evidence Policy-makers and commentators often blame ‘bad parenting’ for children’s and young people’s troublesome behaviour. What can research tell us about the influence of parenting, especially the parent-child relationships in millions of ‘ordinary’ families? This paper: ■ Summarises findings from seven reviews of existing research that were commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation to inform its own Parenting Research and Development programme. ■ Considers parenting from the perspectives of mothers, fathers and children themselves, as well as those of black and minority ethnic parents and families living in poverty with restricted access to support services Editor: David Utting August 2007 www.jrf.org.uk Key points ■ Differences in child temperament, among other factors, demonstrate that flexible, adaptable parenting is more likely to be effective than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. ■ The quality of parent-child relationships shows considerable stability over time. Some dimensions of parenting are important in children’s lives irrespective of age, especially whether relationships are warm and supportive or marked by conflict. ■ Warm, authoritative and responsive parenting is usually crucial in building resilience. Parents who develop open, participative communication, problemcentred coping, confidence and flexibility tend to manage stress well and help their families...

...Helicopter Parenting Dawa Zangmu Paljor Sherpa Professor Vicki Villone English 102 29 January, 2015 Paljor Sherpa 1 Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they hover overhead, children will become dependent in life if their parents are always hovering over this.They pay extremely close attention to their kids lives, which includes their academic and personal lives. I choose this topic since I was quite in a shock to see different style of raising kids here and in my country. I migrated here to the States a year ago from my country Nepal with my family and planned to stay at my uncle's place for a few months who had been residing here for last 30 years. As the days passed by we all started beginning our day to day lives. Me and my younger brother attended school and parents went to work. First a few weeks, I was like a breathing statue who could not go to places on my own and would feel different talking to people. I did not feel that confident talking in English and interacting with people. I also got quite depressed with having no friends here. This seemed like a small issue to my parents and when I shared about it they always told me it will get better. But I started thinking and comparing myself to the other students here who were so confident in all the task they did. I am from an Asian background and have a totally different style of raising their children . Yes, every parent is worried about their kids future. Even my parents were, so they adopted...

When goals in affirmative action are not met, the burden of showing evidence that there was no discrimination against women and minorities lies with the employers in a job recruiting exercise for example. The people who advocate for these “rights” don’t have the burden of proof to elaborately show there was no discrimination in the exercise whatsoever.
