Yet their remained relatively high degree of poverty which has an impact on social status of a Filipino family, many Filipino families faces a constant dilemma in coping up with the increase of living expenses. With the rapid population growth rate is one of reason of having high competition for few jobs that pays the employee a salary that could sustain the needs of the Filipino family. Therefore many Filipino’s resorted in seeking jobs overseas to sustain the needs of their family, it is said that the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are the modern heroes of the Philippines, due to their sacrifices to go and work abroad or the betterment of the Socio-economic status of their families, in return the family members of the OFW worker benefits from a higher salary which means a better quality of living, but what are the study habits of students with OFW parent/parents?

According to the international Organization for Migration (IOM). There...

Within the process of reciprocal determinism lies the opportunity for people to influence their destiny as well as the limits of self-direction. A direct and complex interaction may positive interactive reflection of a good relationship. It is clearly important that for any individual, a constructive environment may help to maximize his full potentials in dealing with future undertakings; the parents and significant others place more importance influencing the total-well-being of an individual. The child’s first place of contact with the world is the family. The child, as a result requires initial education and socialization from parents and other significant persons in the family. The parents are, in short, the child’s first teacher. They are the first and primary source of social support for young children. When parents are involved in the education of their...

The argument is to convince the reader that good responsible child could be raised by either a single parent or jointly. (Informal Fallacy identified as Composition) * Identify the barriers and lack of support from fathers in the African American community. The argument is that the African American male is undependable, uncommitted to marriage, prone to engage in violence, corrupt behaviors, and/or physically absent due to abandonment or incarceration. The argument is that this stereotype or myth has largely contributed to the fact many women raise children alone drawing from the conclusion that these myths take on a life of itself. That myths and stereotyping can cause problems in the raising of a child. That some men in the African American community lack confidence to follow their dreams, having a job to provide for their family and knowing that there is an answer to all questions to ensure the moral development of a child.

...November 19, 2011 Linda Branch, Ph. D. The Disciplining of Infants There are opposing schools of thought on the benefits of disciplining infants. Some experts and parents believe that infants cannot comprehend discipline or right from wrong. The other side believes that infants are clever and know how to test the limitations of their environments. It is a fact that infants do need structure and protection; however, doctors, parents, and other experts of child psychology differ in opinion about the effectiveness of positive discipline and negative discipline when applied to infants. According to Dr. Lawrence Kutner (2009), the connotations of discipline need to be reevaluated differently by the caretaker and viewed from another perspective. Instead of viewing discipline as punishment, parents should view discipline as a teaching opportunity between child and parent. Dr. Kutner (2009) advises that warnings, swats on the child’s bottom, and threats are nonproductive in achieving desired results. His advice is to use environmental controls. Environmental controls are a fancy moniker used in describing how to make the home or other environments child-proof and safe (Kutner, 2009.). For example, he asserts that covering the electrical socket is better than yelling at the child to stop playing with it. The parent must realize that the child has a natural curiosity to explore and he or she is not mentally developed enough to understand what is safe and what is not safe. Other...

... John Tempr The Autism program is a good way to give every parent or soon to be parent good insight into this particular disorder. Autism was something I never heard of until the year of 2010 when I had a student in my classroom named Tony of which was two years old at the time. Tony entered my class on Halloween 2010 and I noticed when his mom bought him in I fixed him a plate because we had a party. On his plate was the usually sweets that children love like chips, cookies, cupcakes, and I gave him a juice, and all he did was look at the plate and take things off one by one so I was shocked because I thought every child loves junk food. I was thinking to myself that is strange but at the same time I was thinking maybe he just ate and is not hung The following week that Tony got enrolled I noticed other things that he was doing that was unusual so I talked to one of the baby-net therapists that comes to the facility and I asked her a couple of questions and her answer to me was she cannot give me definite answer until she evaluates him. I talked to his mom and told her the things that he was doing and she said he was just spoiled but we had her permission to let him see the therapists. The therapists finally diagnosed him at the age of 3 with autism and I was shocked because that was my first time ever hearing about this and the therapist said the earlier the detection the better. I want all parents to know there it is unnecessary to be in denial. Early detection...

... Youth Sports 2 Youth Sports What does it take to be successful in youth sports? Is it an amazing young athlete with God-given abilities? Sometimes that may be the case but many times success can be gained from a normal child when parents take the right steps to properly motivate them. The roles of parents are an integral part in the development of a child in youth sports. With many families having two working parents it may be hard for these parents to properly get involved in their child’s life. The wrong kind of involvement could lead to children being “babied” or leading them to believe winning is what is most important. This brings on unnecessary pressure creating a negative experience for the child. How parents get involved and how they teach sports to their children both have a significant effect on the child’s experience in youth sports. Many parents have become conditioned into thinking one of their only roles in their child’s life in sports, is to be a taxi cab driver or chauffer, and to make sure they’re registered and signed up for the leagues, camps, or clinics. Parents often forget that they can and should be more involved with their children. In the article “The Good Father: Parental Expectation and Youth Sports” the author discusses the father’s role in youth sports. In society, fathers are looked upon as the head of the house, the one who makes all the money. Fathers become...

I remember that I would get so excited to hear the story, but before she could finish the book, I, along with most of the other students, was sound asleep. Television (T.V.) was never an option in my house. If we did not have something to do, we found a book, magazine or newspaper to read. It was more educational for us to read about the news than it was to watch it on T.V. With T.V., they had no idea if what was on the news was appropriate for us to watch. With magazines or newspapers, my parents were able to tear out all the violent pictures or stories. Not only did my siblings and I read, but both my parents did too. Throughout my early childhood years, I can remember my mom and dad always having...

...Ray Bradbury – The Veldt Parents, as well as the peer group, still have the strongest influence on children. The bond between parents and their children are usually the first social experiences children have. Therefore parents have great responsibility to set a good example and enable their children to get a good education. George and Lydia Hadley, the parents in Ray Bradbury’s “The Veldt”, made many bad choices that had great effect on their children’s personalities. Since the Hadley family lives in a futuristic house that does everything for the children, Peter and Wendy, they started to grow apart from their parents. As a consequence, the children noticed they didn’t need their “real” parents any longer and developed a plan to get rid of them. Nonetheless, George and Lydia Hadley are self-responsible for their murder. George and Lydia disregarded their parental responsibility to a high degree. Instead of caring for Wendy and Peter, they had their house to care for everything and everybody. The house cooked, comforted and even played with the children. According to Lydia, the house has become “wife and mother now, and nursemaid.” It took over the role of the parents:”You’ve let this room and this house replace you and your wife in your children’s affections.” George was often too busy to spend time with his children. These examples show that George and Lydia didn’t care too much for their children and missed out on the children’s nurturing. Further...

...17 she says; “I’m going away to London”. There are 4 persons involved in the song, Sinead, her dad and her 2 children. Sinead goes through a transformation, from being sad and “locked” – both by her father, but also by not having any opportunities, in Dublin, to being free and happy in London; e.g. (line 33-34) “I’m glad I came here to London, I’ve had myself some big fat fun”. One more thing that shows the transformation is stanza 1 vs. stanza 4. In stanza 1 she says that she wants to be cool, wants to stand up tall and in stanza 4 she says that she feels real cool and stands up tall. She goes from wanting to do it, to doing it. The moral of the song is to have the courage, to break free from your parents, but also parents letting go of you. Breaking free from parents is a huge part of growing up, and in this song we see it when Sinead wants to go to London. E.g. she says: “And I told my poor worried father”; her father isn’t happy about her going away. The song ends with...

...Do parents deserve love unconditionally? Often we as people are born into a family. This family can range from the “traditional” nuclear family to the growingly common “alternative” family. With being born into a family some bonds come along with it, this parent-child bond is what I am interested in examining. Is it something that is set in stone upon birth? Is it a condition which cannot be changed? Or does this connection between parent and child come with a certain set of conditions? Of course it’s safe to assume the majority of people would out right claim that it is set at birth and only an ungrateful person would deny his or her mother’s or father’s love, or that a parent just has not been patient enough with their child to refuse love to them. If there are conditions, what may they be? If these conditions put either child or parent at risk for diminished quality of life, may it just be better to lose the love for a parent or child? I grew up in a small suburban community, like many other American kids. My father worked for the Department of Defense and my mother was a hairdresser. My father worked long days and my mother would be the one to watch over us most of the time. Of course my brother and I would get into trouble as little boys do. I was always worse than my brother when it came to disobeying rules and basically causing havoc. The typical punishment for just about any offensive minor or major was a spanking. Common in the time I know and even more common in...

...Both Parents should assume equal responsibility in raising a child Both parents should be required to assume equal responsibility in raising a child because children need the emotional and material support of both parents. When one parent pays less attention to the child they start developing symptoms of various problems. Marriage is a new stage in the life of each one which is based on sharing everything in the couple’s life. It is a company but in a different concept from the business point of view. Every decision, step, or event happens in the house should be informed to each participant in this house. Normally, it becomes commonly shared between people that mothers are the first school from which children can form their manners and behaviors. However, fathers can teach their children better to be responsible and brave, teach them to be wise in taking decisions, and help the child to have a peaceful environment in the house. For the previous reasons, fathers should have equal importance in teaching their children many aspects of life mothers cannot provide during raising up her child. The first reason why both fathers and mothers should have equal opportunities to raise their children is that father, by his masculinity nature, will be better to give his child the sense of braveness and teach him or her to defend themselves against anyone who could hurt them in their environment. For playing out similar situations in the house with his child, would certainly increase the...
