...Both parents should assume equal responsibility in raising a child As you grow up, you are taught many life lessons from your experienced parents. Your parents' duty is to nurture you, so that you can grow up to become a person who is strong and able to support oneself. Parents must realize that when it comes to raising a child, they both must put in an equal amount of effort so that the child learns new things, prevents family breakdowns and prevents the child from straying off the 'right' path. You learn to cook when you're helping mum bake cookies in the kitchen, you learn to fish when you're out with dad camping, but if only mum teaches you how to cook and dad is 'too busy' to take you out to go fishing, then you've lost a new experience you could've discovered. There are so many different things your parents can teach you. But if only one parent puts in that effort and the other doesn't, then your knowledge and mind will not be able to become more open and aware of all the wonderful possibilities out there. Therefore, both parents should assume equal responsibility when raising a child.Your dad always comes late from work and never has any time for you and your mum is always around you, looking after you, caring for you. When your mum has finally 'had enough', what will happen then? Your dad's too busy, your mum is too stressed, how are you to go about your daily life once the fights between mum and dad become too much? Unfortunately due to parents not putting in an...

...What do you do when your son breaks a vase in the living room? There are two ways that a parent can handle his child in this situation. You can either talk to him, gently, or you can slap him hard on the face. The child will learn never to break the vase again, by using both methods, but the physical punishment method has its consequences. These consequences are serious and can cause both physical and emotional pain. This emotional pain will soon break out and make the child aggressive and hard going. It will happen. It’s a fact. Many of our friends that are aggressive are usually like this because they come from a background of physical beating. Corporal punishment is a crime and laws should be applied because it can physically, emotionally and mentally alter a child’s progression. The first thing I want to point out is that aggression doesn’t come from nowhere. Everything starts from a source. When a parent beats his child, this child will become aggressive in his teen and adult years. Alice Miller said in her book Breaking Down The Wall Of Silence “Hitting children teaches them to become hitters themselves.” She means that when a child sees his parents using physical punishment, the child, who looks up to his parents, will become aggressive as the parents were. Being aggressive is hardly as bad as having emotional problems in your early years. All of these are consequences of physical punishment. Now, the second thing I want to point out is that physical punishment doesn’t...

If licensing is going to become a requirement for kinship caregivers, this could be very detrimental to the lives of so many kinship caregiver and the children they care for. There would be many caregivers who would not seek services for the children with the welfare department because they would be in fear of losing the children in their care. If caregivers are required to become licensed caregiver, we will see a decrease in kinship care seeking services. If you are a foster parent, you are required by the state to become a licensed foster parent. Foster parents have a set of strict rules that they have to follow, but remember that these rules were set up with the foster parents in mind and not relative caregivers when the rules were made. When you are a kinship caregiver, you do not have to be licensed by the state, but if you are you can receive more benefits for the children then you would if you were unlicensed.

...Foulkes-Jamison, Ph.D., Private Practice, South Carolina When parents decide to divorce or separate, their child or children are faced with multiple stressors. Just knowing that things are going to be different after a divorce, but not knowing exactly how can be frightening for most children. Children from divorced families have to learn to cope with the many changes in their family. The amount of contact with one parent, often their father, will be reduced. Children may have to move from their family home or change schools. They may have a decreased standard of living. They may have to live in two homes. They may have more responsibility placed on them. The custodial parent may be physically and psychologically less available for children due to increased demands. Often, children initially focus on these immediate negative effects of the family breaking up, and do not find comfort in knowing that other families that have divorced eventually do okay. Adjustment to divorce can take up to two years or even longer. Many children will adjust to their parents' divorce, but some will continue to have significant problems into adulthood. Parents' sensitivity to their child's needs is one of the most important factors in facilitating adjustment. Other factors such as the child's age, gender and temperament will also influence how well the child adjusts. A preschooler's reaction to and ability to understand their parents' divorce will be very different from that of an adolescent...

...pros and cons when it comes to foster care. There are some really good things about being a foster parent or child, but there are also some really bad and hard things when getting into foster care. It affects the parent's life, the foster child’s life, and the whole family's lives. But, is becoming a foster parent worth it? Is the feeling of helping out a child who is really in need worth some of the bad things that might come of it? It could be a really good feeling to help out a family who needs it. Foster care can be confusing for some people, it is not the same thing as adoption, although it can lead to it. Foster care is a temporary care for a child, birth to 21 years old, whose parents cannot have custody of them until they get their home safe for the child to come back. This can be because of abuse, neglect, drug abuse, or anything that could cause harm to the...

...Truc Nguyen Math(2pm-3:25pm) Argumentative essay 05/23/2010 Violence and Children Do you want your children to have psychological problems, to be kept away from neighboring people, or even to become a criminal the rest of their life? In family, children always need love and care from their parents. Every parent always wants their children to become good citizens, to have a wonderful life in the future, so we always try to teach them the best thing we know. However, we always think that whatever we teach will help them in the future, so we want our children follow and obey us. In reality, there are many ways to teach our children, such as, giving them the freedom to discover or telling them what is wrong, and what is right. Nevertheless, there is a very common mistake about using violence to raise a child. It is wrong! Consequently, violent behaviors to children in any situation are absolutely unacceptable because of moral issue, psychological problems, and family relationship for our children. Some families use violence to teach their children because they think a light spanking has more effects than a thousand lectures. Besides, they might think it’s just a light hurt to their children, doesn’t make them too pained or leave trace in their skin. They just want to make their children to be scared and to never repeat the mistake again. However, they are wrong because even thought the light spanking or light violent action doesn’t make the child hurt, it leaves many worse...

...time and being able to care for the child at all times. By becoming a nanny not only do you help the children but you also show them a great role model figure that they can look up to. Sometimes children don't have great role model figures to look up to so it's important that you show the children that you can care for them and be an inspiration to them. As a member of this community I believe that you need to be a very caring person to fulfil the needs of the children and their parents. I question how the other nannies are when they are around the children. Its very easy to become a nanny, there are many different places you can go to become one. There are multiple websites you can go on to sign up such as care.com, or the parents just hire you because you are a relative or neighbor. It is also very important to CPR certified and trained in first aide in case of any emergency that happens. Its very difficult being a nanny sometimes because a lot of the time the children will think since their parents are gone they can get rowdy around strangers and have them do things they are usually not allowed to do. Because I know I am a nanny in the babysitting community I wonder about why children behave so erratic when their parents are gone and what aggravates them to do so. Therefore the purpose of this study is to focus on the children's psychological behaviors around the nannies when the parents are not home. I believe this is a very intriguing research topic be because its ties in...

Detrimental ownership being that a character is growing poorer due to selfish believing of the object consuming their life. I believe that ownership becomes a problem when how you act, what you stand for, and ultimately who you are, is destroying your character and self-identity There is a great importance to self identity; how you act stems from what you believe your self-worth is, which comes from the dependency on objects in your life. Especially in kids, there is a wealthy mentality, suggesting that when kids get the idea that they have money and need...

...bond. Talker 1 : Now what is a family? Family is a bond, a long lasting relationship that holds a bond with each other. It all forms when man and women become one and from there a family is born. Talker 2: Family bonding does not happen overnight. It forms with every second, every minute that you spend with your loved ones. Talker 3: A close family bond is like a safe harbour, where we feel secure and where we trust that we have someone always there to whom we could turn to when we need them the most. Chairman : So what is the main challenge to build a strong family bonding in this globalised world? Talker 1: Families face new challenges in later life. In family bonding, divorce permanently weakens the relationship between children and parents. The National Survey of Families and Households found that about one in five divorced fathers had not seen their children in the past year, and less than half the fathers saw their children more than a few times a year. Thus, children’s relationships with both their parents change after a divorce: they become more distant from both, more so even than children living with married but unhappy parents which results in to be less affectionate with their children, less communicative, and to discipline them more harshly and more inconsistently, especially during the first year following the divorce. When a family goes through a separation or a divorce there is often a lot of really difficult stuff to deal with at home - there is lots of...

...Parents’ bias towards the child who has better educational performance over other siblings. Introduction “Your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life” (Palahniuk, n.d.). Parents love their children so much that they sometimes do not bother to sacrifice their lives for them. But the question is-can parents always play a fair role to all their children. We see many children who are weak in studies are neglected by parents in hearing their decisions or suggestions and often those children hear more scold from their parents than other siblings who are good in studies. This type of negative attitude towards the child who is weak in studies makes him/her weaker in future life. Obviously parents want to see their children at the highest pick of success and that’s why they are more concerned with the child who has better educational performance than other siblings. Parents show bias attitude towards better educational performing child over other siblings as he/she meets parents’ expectation and they feel proud to talk about him/her to others. They also consider him/her to be the last hope at their old days. This research paper considers whether parents really show bias attitude toward the child who has better educational performance by focusing on three aspects: ...

...Blended families We try to create a world of structure and predictability for our children. As parents, we work hard to give our children routines, a regular schedule, consistent expectations, and plenty of love. We aim to make their lives predictable, stable, safe and secure. As they grow up, we hope that this early experience will be internalized as a kind of centeredness, and that they will be able to adapt when change comes around. In addition to providing children a safe and secure beginning, parent s need to be aware of the child’s feelings and be able to help them cope with change and stress. One in every two marriages in the United States will end up in divorce. Sixty percent of second marriages will also fail, according to statistics. Half of America is currently living in blended families. Over the past three decades, major transformations have taken place in the family world. Traditional nuclear families - mother, father and two children - are no longer the 'norm'). Nearly half of all marriages now end in divorce, and remarriages for one or both partners have more than doubled since the 1970s. Over 2.5 million children live in stepfamilies. Learning to live within a new stepfamily structure can change the living patterns, self-confidence and emotional wellbeing of all family members involved. It is especially hard on children. They have their own worlds constantly evolving around them. Kids are also dealing with peer pressure, life and social changes, and many other...

There walking toward you, slowly, quietly. You think their not gonna see you. By the end the room is dark. Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Veldt,” takes place in a smart home — a home where it does everything for you, from feeding them and rocking them to sleep. Wendy and Peter have always loved the nursery their parents built for them. They remember everything that has happened in the past and the things that have happened now. Without the nursery the kids would have nothing. George and Lydia Hadley call this the veldt. The veldt is a room that you go into and it takes your thoughts and turns them into a reality on a wall. Doing every every thought from the smell to the sound. This is supposed to be a place for them to express themselves and also a way for psychologists to keep track of all thought patterns that are...
