...Michelle Lewis Parenting Practices April 12, 2014 PARENTING PRACTICES Parenting a child is a very important role. Parents teach a child how to behave and they provide the needs for the child.

As a child we were made to go to school and we enjoyed going as well. Parents would express how important it was to finish high school, and afterwards go to college or get a trade. The encouragement of going to college became more intense over generations. Early on it was about completing high school. Parents seem to have an understanding and significance of institution of the church in earlier years (Cozby, 2009). Among generations, parents encouraged...

While conducting the interviews, not only did the generation of parenting show similarities and differences, but also the part of the world played a tremendous role. The cohort effect that the first generation of parenting carried over through the generations of parenting.

Strict and simple whatever I say goes do what your suppose to do and we have no problems, on the other hand you have those who those cater to their child a lot and lastly the parents who don’t care and just leave them with grandma and grandpa abounding the child. I grew up in the 90s under a strict household I had in my life grandparents, mom and uncle that raised me my entire life. Having an education, being a normal child and just having parents in my life made such an great impact and how I am today.

...How to improve parenting skills Do you think parenting skills will destroy a child’s life? Yes, the young generation of the day are always getting in trouble from day to day for example cybercrime, discipline problem, playing truant at shopping mall or cybercafé. Parents should have the responsibility to take care and teach their children. Parenting is very important for mental and physical development of the young generation. So, parents should be required to improve their parenting skills by spending quality time with their children, playing a vital role and are banned from smacking their children. Firstly, parents should spend more quality time with their children. According to Porpora (2012), “Oftentimes parents fail to be actively engaging with their children”. This is because their children stay with the babysitters or day-cares more to with their parents especially when their parents are at work. Considering this, parent must be involved in a schedule which includes children’s time with parents. The parents can plan the daily timetables carry out some activities with their children. For example, their parents can tell the bedtime story or can make the cookies together with their children (Hoch, 2012). Consequently, spending time with children is one of the ways to improve parenting skills. Furthermore, parents have to play a vital role in their children’s life. Parents should shape their children to avoid falling into unhealthy practices (Bernama, 2012).This is because...

...century the science of child development was first established, and with each subsequent generation new theories are introduced about the most appropriate way to raise children. This scientific development brought about the deliverance of an abundant amount of child rearing advice that could be found in anything from books to magazines, journals, and public health pamphlets. This surplus of often-contradictory information frequently caused undue parental anxiety and stress. One 1920’s mother who was overwhelmed by all the wisdom confessed, “I just try to do what you say, but I am a nervous wreck just trying to stay calm.” Although parental pressure and anxiety has been seen as a recurrent grievance through every generation, stress levels have progressively increased to what they are now. An analysis of the child rearing advice given in the early part of the 20th century and that of the new millennium revealed the following things: a steady progression from an authoritarian type of discipline to that of a more authoritative type, the emergence of a paternal role in child rearing, the apparent difference in personality traits of adults that were raised under particular parenting methods, and several distinct reasons for the change in the advice being given. Even before the start of the seventeenth century, experts were concerned with how, if even at all, parental love and child rearing practices affected a child’s personality. Prior to the late 1940’s specialists believed that the...

...Attachment Parenting: Following Your Instinct Often times, parents describe the feeling of holding their bundle of joy for the very first time as love at first sight. Why is that? Research has shown that this indescribable surge of emotions between parents and their offspring can be attributed to the natural hormone, oxytocin; ultimately triggering nurturing feelings and behaviors for both mom, dad and baby (Pedersen). Often times these natural feelings get pushed aside the moment mother and baby are discharged from the hospital. Unfortunately, this encouraged disconnect has been weaved into cultural fabric, like establishing a routine in baby's life from day one and suggesting unrealistic expectations about infant sleep capabilities, including sleep-training and controlled-crying methodologies. However, some parents choose to embrace their natural...

...RUNNING HEAD: CULTURE AND PARENTING Culture and parenting Introduction Parenting is the first and likely most important mechanism through which culture is reproduced (Cauce, 2008). Every child is born into a certain circumstance and learns through interactions with the surroundings. Parents are generally the first and key people in a child’s life, so it should come as no surprise that parenting has influences on the development of children’s temperament, which later impacts their school performance. This article is going to explore how parenting varies among different ethnic groups including Asian Americans, African American, Latinos, and European Americans. More specifically, what factors should be included when considering the parenting characteristics of a unique ethnic group and what implications might they have for schooling today. Theories Two of the modern theories that are concerned with cultural influences on human development are Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and Ecological Systems Theory proposed by Urie Bronfenbrenner. First, Vygotsky’s theory defined culture as the values, beliefs, customs, and skills of a social group. His Sociocultural Theory focuses on how culture is transmitted to the next generation. According to Vygotsky, social interaction – in particular, cooperative dialogues with more knowledgeable members of society – is necessary for children to acquire the ways of thinking...

...1 Name of author: Mothering through Addiction Drug addiction and alcohol addiction seem to be increasing day by day all over the world. People losing the control of their life when they face stress related to family, society or workplace. The commitments of the modern generation are more than that of the ancient generation and failure to fulfil the commitments often results in some kind of addiction. Addiction and mental diseases are common both among the males and females. But the female addiction seems to be more severe than the male addiction considering the variety of roles females needed to exercise in the family and society. Among females, the addiction of mothers seems to be most dangerous to the society. "Mothers who are addicted to crack is a long debated topic that can be argued well on both sides. One side can argue that Mothers who have an addiction problem to drugs should not be allowed to have legal rights to their children and should have their children in child protective services. Most people view these mothers as unfit and harmful to the children's safety. On the other hand mothers who are addicted to crack and other drugs depend on motherhood to rehabilitate and find a cure to their addiction. Mothers who are addicted view hope in their lives because their children give them a purpose to get better. However, once the children are taken away from the mothers many times the addiction becomes worse and more intense. The emotional attachment...

...abuse was prevalent across most of the schools, this created a lot of emotional problems and coping strategies which were passed on from generation to generation. These three articles are Agnes Grant’s Finding my Talk, David MacDonald’s “Genocide in the Indian Residential Schools: Canadian history through the Lens of the UN Genocide Convention”, and Jennifer Llewellyn’s “Dealing with the Legacy of Native Residential School Abuse in Canada: Litigation, ADR, and Restorative justice.” The first reading finding my talk is about one woman named Eleanor Brass and her experience coping with not only the years of abuse endured in residential schools, but also with dealing with a lifetime of racism, being an indigenous woman in Canada. Eleanor was one of the first babies to be born on the File Hills Colony , which was under tight control of the Indian agents. Indian agents would control all the farming practices of the families who were living on the colony. Nothing could be sold without the agent overseeing the transaction and this amount of control was not limited to their farming...

...relative study and additional kinds of study can be concerned in the methods in which culture and correlated ideas for instance ethnicity influences the behavior and thinking of human being also how human being behavior and believe explain and reveal phases of an individual culture. Research builds the knowledge base for cross cultural psychology and investigates and tests the major trends in the field. Research investigates different cultures on a number of domains in Cross-Cultural Psychology. Certain trends or domains are prevalent in the field of cross cultural psychology including evolution and biology, awareness and reasoning, morals and outlooks, social psychology, behavior in culture, therapy and mental health, gender issues, parenting and human development, cultural change and ethnic psychology, also work and structural psychology. Additional trends consist of collectivism and individualism, towards common characteristics and original psychologies (Kagitcibasi and Barry, 1989). Other themes researched, such as in the Journal of Cross Cultural Psychology, are global in nature, with research focused on intracultural study for instance the change of Asian American migrants to United States also on intercultural study for instance the growth of mathematics perceptive between kids in...

...Schick, S. Child Neglect in: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment Vol 1.(David Levinson, Ed.) Sage Publications, Thousand Oaks pp 192-196, 2002 Introduction Child neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment (a broad category of behavior that also includes sexual, physical and emotional abuse). The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), a review of abuse and neglect data from all states, reported over 1,000,000 substantiated cases of abuse in its last review (annual year 1994). Fifty two percent of these cases were from neglect. The majority of the 2000 or more documented abuserelated deaths each year are due to neglect. These statistics are likely an underestimate of the actual occurrence of neglect. Neglect is the least studied and most poorly characterized form of child maltreatment. This is due to multiple factors including the difficulty in defining and documenting neglect in children. Definitions Neglect can occur in several forms. A broad definition of neglect is any failure to provide for the basic needs of the child. In practice, neglect is defined somewhat differently depending upon local statutory definitions. Common statutory categories include: (1) Medical neglectsuch as failure to provide visits to the doctor for routine checkups, not getting medical attention for injuries, failure to ensure compliance with necessary medical treatments such as providing insulin for a diabetic child....

...the Parenting Styles on the Behavior of Psychology Students in Centro Escolar University Year 2012-2013 An Undergraduate Research Presented to the Faculty of School of Science and Technology In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course Communication Skills 14 (Technical Writing) by: Anne Kristine G. Francisco Kathlene Marie S. Tambo Michelle R. Aranda March 2013 CHAPTER 1 The Problem and Its Background Introduction Parenting is a complex activity that includes many specific behaviors that work individually and together to influence child outcomes. Although specific parenting behaviors, such as spanking or reading aloud, may influence child development, looking at any specific behavior in isolation may be misleading. Many writers have noted that specific parenting practices are less important in predicting child well-being than is the broad pattern of parenting. Most researchers who attempt to describe this broad parental milieu rely on Diana Baumrind’s concept of parenting style. The construct of parenting style is used to capture normal variations in parents’ attempts to control and socialize their children (Baumrind, 1991). Two points are critical in understanding this definition. First, parenting style is meant to describe normal variations in parenting. In other words, the parenting style typology Baumrind developed should not be understood to include deviant parenting, such...

...Middle Childhood and Adolescence Louis Gibbs PSY/280 05/18/2012 Michael Johnson The introduction of middle childhood and adolescence, a crucial period of development, for the child and parent can become a time of uncertainty. The parenting styles of the parent makes a difference in the out-come of the child. All children need parents that care about them. The different parenting styles include; authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative. In the best interest of the child’s development, parents have to make an evaluation of the parenting methods that work well with the personality of the child. During these years the child’s temperament also begins to have an effect in their lives. “A child’s temperament matters (Kagan & Fox, 2006). If they do not consider the personality of the child, authoritarian parents might terrorize children who are innately fearful or anxious, or permissive parents might watch their impulsive children flail out of control.”(Berger, 2010). Environmental circumstances also have a role in children’s development for example: a parent gaining or loosing employment. There will be many changes that take place for middle childhood and adolescent children. Middle Childhood For many people puberty is a time in their life that will not be forgotten. The ages from 7 to 11 are sometimes called the school years. “The...
