...There are many different things that I take into consideration when it comes to parenting. Parents have many different responsibilities but there are three in particular that I think are very important. Being a good role model is important, as well as listening to your children and disciplining them appropriately. If you want to be a good parent you have to put your kids first. The first responsibility that I think is very important is being a good example for your kids. Parents are examples for their kids whether they like it or not. My boys watch and copy everything that I do, and even if I don’t think their listening they are listening. If they see me finishing school and working a good job that’s what they will expect to do themselves because that is all that they know. Children are like sponges. I want to show my kids how to be a good person by being a good person myself. As a parent I want my children to know that they can be anything they want to be, but at the same time I am controlling their physical and moral environment so that they can be good people. I want them to be in an environment where they can develop habits of honesty, generosity, and responsibility. I think that one of the greatest things that I can do for my kids is to take them seriously and listen to them. My five year old is constantly showing me everything that he learns and it’s very easy to tune him out sometimes, but I think its very important not to. It is important to listen because if you don’t...

This is what my speech will elaborates about, what does it takes to be a good parents. Yes, you can find hundreds of websites, thousands of books, and no shortage of magazines about parenting, but if you ask few people about the most important parenting quality, you will likely end up with just as many answers. Some would say love, attention, money, wealth, food. Some would say spending quality time with them while others would say discipline. But what is it actually? Which and how these factors would make parents, good? The truth is, it is hard to say because a parent is not intrinsically bad or good; they are just a parent who makes good or bad choices. Parenting actually is an ongoing process that has some trial and error, and requires you to accept and learn from your...

Even teenagers need attention because they tend to be influenced by their peers. Negative influence can affect the children way of life. This also applies to young children. Sometimes young children cannot differentiate between what right and wrong. As a parent, we need to guide them and show what is good and what is bad. For example young children sometimes tend to take what doesn’t belong to them because they didn’t know that taking others belonging is consider stealing. So what the parent must do is by giving them advice that taking other’s belonging is wrong. Parent must guide them and give advice. Teach them to ask for apology...

...wholesome manner. It does not allow a hierarchy of priests or intermediaries between Allah and human beings, no farfetched abstractions and no complicated rites and rituals. Everybody can readily understand the Quran and follow in the footsteps of the Prophet (may Allah exalt his mention), to the best of his or her ability, assured by Allah that He will accept the deeds that each soul has the ability to offer (what means): "On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear." [Quran 2:286] When we read the Quran or the Prophetic traditions, we find instructions regarding all aspects of life: political, social, economic, material, ethical, national and international. These instructions provide us with all the details needed to perform a certain act. The Prophetic traditions go as far as showing us all the steps we need to follow, even the etiquette of using the bathroom: supplications to be said upon entering it and leaving it, how to clean ourselves properly and so on. To summarize, Islam governs a Muslim's life in all its aspects. This is the reason why it is not only a religion but also a way of life. Islam does not recognize any kind of separation between religion and life. It openly rejects the Western saying: "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's"; for everything should be dedicated to God alone and a Muslim is required to submit himself completely to the Will of Allah in all his affairs (what means): "Say: ‘Truly...

This meant fathers would take on the role of the mother and the mother would take on the father's role. However, many households did not always consist of two parents. Instead, there were single parent households. Women then were joining the workforce, and becoming less dependent on an income of men. Women were no longer in the house taking care of the family, which made it difficult to keep the family together. Fathers began staying at home and spending more time with their children (Atkinson...

...explains different concepts about what makes an adult, not what is consider an adult by law. Feinberg talks about parents patriae which is the parents power to look over their children’s own good. Parents decided for their children because children do not have the capacity to do it for themselves. Its protecting children’s right, if parents torture, beat, mutilate children, or who refuse to permit children to be educated parents patriae will intervene for the child’s well being. Feinberg talks about self-determination and self-fulfillment, which are the concepts of how children become adults and the responsibilities that come as an adult and its decisions. Self-determination has two concepts which are the capacity and sovereign authority. Self-fulfillment is when the individual fulfills his/her own good. Feinberg defines an adult based on their capacities and knowledge to know what is the best for them, not their age. Depending on their abilities is how people get treated.

Around the middle childhood age the lower portion of the body is growing fastest, children appear to look long-legged. Girls end up having slightly more body fat and boys have more muscle.

...leaves, Shane continues to scream and cry until I am able to soothe him. A lot of children experience this type of anxiety from separating with their parents. I plan on having both parents and the child come into the class before the first day so they can get comfortable and familiar the classroom. I expect some children to have a hard time separating from their parents because some has never been away from them since birth. For Shane I will talk to mom before the first day and ask her if it is possible for her to drop him off and leave quickly instead of hanging around. I will explain her that hanging around will only make him upset longer. I will also practice fun ways to say bye with Shane that will eventually calm him when parting. Majority of my students are four some are five so I think pairing them up with a buddy in the class will be helpful. Their buddy will be there when they need a hug or even encouraging words when they are upset. I want to do whatever I can to make sure the students in my class are comfortable but I also do not want them to think it is ok to throw tantrums. After Shane is calmed down I will invite him to join the rest of the class. I will give him a hug or let him know in some other way how he can get my attention when his behavior is good. I do think that eventually Shane will get better. If his parents and I work together on both ends he will know that he will not get attention when he is acting out. I will continue doing this throughout the whole...
