... Disciplining a child these days and time can be hard on a parent. Children need to know how to function at home, school and in public places. Every parent wants their children to be happy, respectful, respected by others, and able to find their place in the world as well-behaved adults. Therefore, there are positive and negative methods of discipline a child, are quite different and so are the results. Research has shown that there are numerous methods of disciplining a child in a positive way. One of the most effected ways are removing of privileges. When a child is asked to clean his room and don’t, take his toys for an hour. For and older child if he is told to be home at a certain time and he is late, take his car for the day. Grounding a child and taken activities from a child will make the child understand that rules has to be followed. Acknowledging good behavior is the best way to encourage your child to continue it. In other words, “Catch him being good.” Compliment your child when he shows the behavior you’ve been seeking. Developing skills for positive discipline takes a lot of practice and a lot of time. On the other hand, negative disciplinary methods are often used as well. In fact, many parents believe that spanking a child is necessary for discipline the child. In the US, when a survey was conducted of 94 percent parents with toddlers acknowledged that they had used some form of corporal punishment, and nearly 35 percent of infants are...

...Xenia Burgara Marajan Hazrati English 103 January 29, 2013 Parenting Every parent has his own personal philosophy of child rearing. Many issues are controversial because there are supporting facts to both opinions. One major issue in today’s society is whether to breast or bottlefeed an infant. Another difficult issue is how to discipline a child. Some parents believe that spanking in certain situations is acceptable, and some view it as child abuse. Many parents believe religion is an essential part of growing into a moral person, and many do not. Family meals are important to some families, and unnecessary to others. Another big controversy is placing a child in daycare. Some couples believe it is completely wrong for the mother to work outside the home. Other couples say that without two incomes, they would not make it financially. When I had my child, I choose to breast feed her. I think it is very important to the infant’s health. Colostrum, the fluid that comes in before the real milk, allows the baby to receive immunity to many infections, and also enables the infant to gain necessary weight faster than bottle-fed infants. In breast milk, eight percent of the cells are macrophages. Macrophages are cells that kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Breastfeeding is much easier and more convenient, because it can be done at any time of the day, without preparation. With bottle feeding, there are bottles to wash, formula to mix, refrigeration to worry about, and warming...

All of the mentioned friends play a vital roles as The Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), Corporal punishment in today’s world is the deliberate infliction of pain for disciplining a behavior deemed unacceptable. This form on discipline is considered to be used to correct behavior but does it instill aggressive behavior that will lead to domestic violence or even child abuse. This form of punishment is considered to be the most commonly used form of discipline in America today and is currently legal. This type of discipline is not favorable in today’s society and statistics indicate it will lead to future aggression later in life? The official definition of corporal punishment is a form of physical punishment that involves the deliberate infliction of pain as retribution for an offence, or for the purpose of disciplining or reforming a wrongdoer, or to deter attitudes or behavior deemed unacceptable. The term usually refers to methodically striking the offender with the open hand or with an implement whether in judicial, domestic, or educational settings. (Wikipedia, 2014) The basic definition of corporal punishment is...

...arise. So do we act on an old-fashioned learned method or concede to following the expert’s advice and find other alternate measures for discipline in hopes that children will behave? Most adults can say they were spanked as a child and they turned out just fine, so what would be wrong with using that same form of discipline on their children? Children need to know the difference between right and wrong. Parents who do spank their children argue that if done properly and only when absolutely necessary, spanking can be an effective disciplinary tool. However, parents who choose not to spank their children, say that hitting a child only teaches them that violence is a way to solve problems that arise. At what age is it appropriate to start disciplining or spanking children? Teaching children discipline should start at an early age and be learned into their youth years. Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have discovered from a recent study, that children that are spanked before the age of 2 are more likely to have behavioral problems when they enter grade school (Slade,...

...All children have the right to an education, regardless of disability. However, children with disabilities have not always had that right provided to them. Research and knowledge-based evidence throughout the last century has greatly changed educators’ opinions and positions on special education. A key point that will be discussed in this essay is the enactment of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), as well as current and future challenges of special education. The initial creation and development of our educational system disregarded the needs of children with disabilities. Because of very limited educational options, most disabled children were either educated in their homes or their parents paid for them to attend expensive private schools (The History of Special Education in the United States, 2009). Through parent-formed advocacy groups the educational needs of children with disabilities were brought to the public’s eye in the early part of the 20th Century (The History of Special Education in the United States, 2009). In 1961, President John F. Kennedy awarded federal aid to the States through the creation of the President’s Panel on Mental Retardation (The History of Special Education in the United States, 2009). Shortly thereafter, in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (The History of Special Education in the United States, 2009). This act provided funding to schools that enrolled children with disabilities,...

...“Should Spanking a Child Be unlawful,” a survey was conducted 15 years ago of family practitioners and pediatricians and it was found that about two thirds supported mild spanking in some disciplinary situations. However, times have changed and so has the way we discipline our children. As time passes our world changes and adapts. Things are different, technology and the human life is constantly revolving. Therefore the way we raise our children has evolved to. Punishment for a child can be as simple as taking away their electronics. Many people once thought that spanking children was an effective and acceptable form of punishment. This was not only the norm in many homes 30 years ago but other parents and authority figures where disciplining other people’s children in this form as well. In today’s society if someone else were to strike another’s child police reports would be made and social workers...

Has @NAME's temperament been stable over the first 18 months? A blurb defining and providing examples of the five aspects of temperament is provided at 12 months, but you should seek out further explanations of temperament from your textbook. Explain how the concept of goodness of fit (also discussed in the blurb on infant temperament) applies to your interactions with your child. Emotionally he is happy and easy to deal with. The issue she had with relating more with his mother has abated somewhat, and he seems almost equally comfortable with both of us.

...Forms of Discipline: What is best for the child? Children are like flowers, if well taken care of they will bloom. If ignored or tortured, they will wither and die. Child discipline is one of the most important elements of successful parenting. Today, many people have this notion that physical abuse is in no way a solution to helping children discern between right and wrong. Since generations children have been taught the art of discipline through physical punishment. Often this approach to disciplining has resulted in two outcomes, one is where the child becomes more tolerant and is willing to adhere to what he/she has been told, or the other which more often results in children developing a sense of anguish and desire to revolt. Physical punishment often destroys the psychological mindset of a child and can scar his/her childhood, resulting in them to grow up to be particularly irritable and frustrated individuals. Over the decades we have seen that fewer and fewer parents are resorting to this sort of method of violence to discipline their children. However contradictory to all that has been stated, I believe that sometimes parents are caught in a situation when children cross all boundaries of discipline and spanking is the only effective solution. Therefore, it is imperative to do so. Nonetheless, before spanking is even taken into consideration; all the other non-violent forms of discipline should be used. If none work then finally the act of spanking can be justifiable...

...Additionally, the more he painted a negative perception of his wife, the better he perceived himself to be (The Arbinger Institute, 2002). Chapter twelve distinguishes comparisons in Bud’s story of his opinions of his wife as opposed to how she really is as a person. Bud’s observing her as being idle and a poor mother could not be further from the truth. Yet, he shows Tom and Kate how one can internalize these perceptions to justify their actions. Bud specifies that this rationalization probably happened after he deceived himself. After Tom inquires of the possibility of his wife possessing these negative qualities, Bud expresses that until he deceived himself, he did not consider her imperfections as reasons not to help her with their infant. He also conveys to Tom that even if she was idle and a poor parent, his self-deceptions afterwards would make him view her as lazier and a worse parent than she is. Bud explains to Tom that in his thought processes, he points of the four traits of deceiving one’s self: exaggeration of imperfections, qualities, the significance of rationalizing the self-deception, and blame (The Arbinger Institute, 2002). In Chapter 13, Tom clarifies everything that had previously been discussed on betraying one’s own self. He then addresses an important question about possibly not feeling like helping someone. Bud then conveys to him that when a person already is in that mentality of being caught up in their own trap when seeing themselves as good and...

...Anton Shusterman June 4th, 2011 Child Discipline The most important thing in a child’s life is how his parents treat him. His future and the potential for growth and success are determined by the type of childhood that a person experiences. Sometimes parents don’t understand how important it is to treat their children well. Parents don’t think about the words that they say to their children or the actions that they take around them. Some parents think their children are too small and they will not remember the words and actions going on around them, but discipline is not only showing children how to live life and what not to do in any given situation. Discipline is also showing children what they are supposed to do and how they are supposed to conduct themselves in a given day or situation. The best forms of discipline are the ones that help our children realize their potential while making it seem like they are accomplishing success on their own. Children are thought as being difficult and hard to control and we have made movies and shows about such unruly children where their parents do not discipline them correctly and they turn out to be criminals or deadbeats when they become adults. In movies, where there are children that are treated very well i.e. educated, given love and affection, and told to treat others with respect they are thought of as boring, stuck-up, or arrogant. Movies such as Cheaper by Dozen 1 and 2 show how rich children who are successful are inherently...

...Impacts of Domestic Violence on Children. Lillian Tejada SUNY Oswego Rhonda Mandel October 1, 2015 Interrogating the Impacts of Domestic Violence on Children. Most of the social, economic, emotional, and psychological problems people face stem from their childhood. These problems are fruits of domestic violence. But what is domestic violence? Primarily, Domestic violence is any act that amounts to violence in a family setting. A child can be exposed to domestic violence through witnessing parents' fights, being subjected to such violence or being neglected to face the world and fight serious life problems single handedly. Domestic violence has recently become an epidemic. A report from the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault (SCCADVASA) showed that in the United States of America, about ten percent of children have experienced domestic violence. Another study from the same organization showed that one in every four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. It seems men are the key perpetrators of domestic violence. This act of inhumanity sometimes reaches escalated levels. A renowned researcher found that one thousand and six hundred women die each year in South Carolina from wounds incurred from injuries during altercations with their partners. This is evidence that domestic violence has developed in modern families and is spreading rapidly (Banks, Hazen, Coben, Wang, & Griffith, 2009). Disputes and violence...

Are there any issues you had with your parents, your school work, your friends, or your romantic involvements in the last year of high school that continued to be issues for you in college? First of all, don’t all teenagers have issues with their parents? I didn’t have a ton of issues with them as most kids did when I was in high school. My school work has always been pretty consistent with me staying on top of things and doing my homework when I was suppose to. My last year of high school is when I had my first real relationship and that continued into my first year of college, but it was no big thing. I really didn’t have too many issues in high school, I’m not saying that I was perfect, but I was very quiet and I only had one really good friend in high school. The only big issue that I had was I had a tough time having a good work ethic. I started working when I was 16 and let me just say I had terrible work ethics. My parents had to help me come to like to work and appreciate what I was working for. By the time I got into college, this wasn’t a problem anymore. 2. Reflect on your own personality, interests and cognitive abilities at the time you graduated high school. How did these personality characteristics and abilities manifest themselves in subsequent years? How have they...
