I feel like I coped incredibly well with this during the activity as I was able to give the correct amount of help needed for each individual. I understood that the children required different prompts, explanations and levels of time in order for them to answer the questions. I tried my best to include all the children and felt like the activity was positive overall.
Being a good parent involves having an authoritative yet understanding and pliable view on a child’s wants and needs in life. Setting rules and boundaries with an authoritative attitude in parenting is essential. Letting a child have too much freedom does not end well. Children often get into mischief or serious trouble. The grandmother in HFSW gives the girl too much space and allows disrespect and defiance take place.
The Dangers of Segregation, as seen in Leon Bass’ “I Saw The Walking Dead” The source “I Saw The Walking Dead” is an interview in which an African-American WWII veteran named Leon Bass recounts his experience upon liberating the Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp. In addition to this, he relays his thoughts in regards to the liberation of the camp, and relates it to his experience of the war overall to the unfair treatment of African Americans in the United States, most notably through the segregation that they were made to endure at the time. The source is meant to inform its readers on African-Americans experiences throughout the war, relay the extreme effects that can arise from segregation, and shows its historical significance through
Parents like this set rules and guidelines but are not too strict
It is important that the actions a practitioner does is seen as fair and making the children understand why something which seems unfair is in fact fair is a vital part of the child’s development. Example, In my class, we ensure that the children are aware of the golden rules and the rewards available, ranging from stickers to golden stars awarded by the teacher. We are also clear about what happens if the rules are broken which range from moving them down from the reward and if more serious consequences like sending them to the teachers. To be fair the practitioner needs to listen to what the child has to say before jumping into the conclusions or allotting the
During the beginning of modern Europe, there were conflicting views on the proper way to view children. Previously in history, the infant mortality rate was very high, so kids were treated more like adults and were often neglected because odds were they would die. There was a resounding view that kids should be treated harshly in order to become strong. Then in the seventeenth century, the idea of being tender and gentle to your kids was introduced. The way in children were brought up was influenced by assumptions made on both old and new schools of thought.
For example, when I filled out the parent questionnaire when Amelia was 3, my feedback was that I was average in affection and warmth and that I was above average in discipline and strictness. When Amelia was 6, interviewed by a psychologist and my results were that I was in the top 15% for both warmth and affection and discipline and control towards my child. Lastly, when Amelia was 13 she told me that I was “more supportive and approving that the average parent… and that you’re stricter than the average parent.” Overall, it appears that I became more affectionate and stricter with Amelia as time went
Throughout the years though, I have changed and my husband, too, has changed. I want my kids to learn respect and that there are consequences for your actions and bad choices. My husband and I through the disagreements about parenting styles, have matured and changed to become the parents we need to be for our kids to succeed in life. We have often said that we have learned over time to agree to disagree on some
First of all, in order to understand the importance of wellbeing in the early years, it is important to quote lines from Sir Michael Marmot who maintains that “the foundations of virtually every aspect of human development- physical, intellectual, emotional- are laid in early years. What happens during these early years has lifelong effects on many aspects of health and wellbeing- from obesity, heart diseases and mental health to the educational achievement to economic status. ” Wellbeing may normally refer to physical as well as mental state in which development of both aspects of children is satisfactory (Allen et al, 2011). Wellbeing is a broad concept that includes medical as well as social element in defining children`s heath at the early years of their life.
The benefits of applying boundaries and rules for children and young people consistently and fairly are that all children and young people will know what is expected of them. They will understand what is acceptable and what is not. If rules and boundaries are inconsistent or unfair, children will become confused and will not know what is expected of them. They will be unsure whether their actions or comments will get them into trouble. If rules are not applied consistently as staff are not aware of them, children will react to this and comment on this, e.g. you have given X a warning and have not moved their name on the cloud.
It is much more likely that a parent or parents will realise the need to set boundaries for children in order to give them an external sense of permanence that creates a sense of safety for the child. It is this sense of certainty or permanence that
The Right Way of Praising and Criticizing Our Children I believe that a lot of people, including me, sooner or later will get the most challenging job ever, which is raising a child. Most of them, especially mothers, are afraid to become a parent. I mentioned mother is because a mother usually spending more time with their children compare to a father, so mother has a bigger influence for children. There are a lot of reason for them to be afraid, because we live in such a cruel and an unfair world are few of them.
In the Ensign there is an article called “Love, Limits, and Latitude” and it states, “Loving, firm boundaries give children the best chance to succeed” (Hart et al., 2008). Love is such a powerful aspect of parenting and can help rear children towards greatness. Principle 2: Parents should allow their children to make their own decisions then give them advice and counsel while trying to understand their emotions (Cline & Fay, 2006). Children learn from their own
Like permissive parents, authoritative parents are responsive, nurturing, and involved. But unlike permissive parents, authoritative parents don’t let their children get away with bad behaviour. Authoritative parents take a firm stand, anticipating that their kids should carry on dependably. Like tyrant guardians, legitimate guardians uphold rules. As a psychologist, I feel that authoritative parenting style helps in developing their social behaviour while authoritarian degrades it.
Psychology, being the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, is becoming a more prominent study in younger ages. In child psychology, there are many factors that contribute to the cognitive development of children, adolescents, and young adults. These factors can be categorized into three main topics: environmental factors and how it changes the neurological system, risks of social behavior due to the different mental states, and hormonal changes adding to psychological imbalance. Lifestyle, social relationships, childhood experiences, family life, and what they take into their mind can have multiple effects on their newly forming mental health patterns. Adolescents need constant approval, require love and attention, and a sense of want or belonging to feel needed.
