A Tale Of Two Summer For Parents Analysis

As we all know mother does know best, yet in some cases mother can do more harm than good. There is a big debate on how people are raising the newest generations and whether or not they are properly being introduced into the realities of our society. Are children being spoiled too much or not enough? This topic is thoroughly discussed by Alfie Kohn in his essay, “ The One-sided Culture War against Children” and by Nick Gillespie within his essay, “The Current State of Childhood: Is “Helicopter Parenting” or “Free-Range Childhood” Better for Kids?”. Although Kohn offers valid explanations, Gillespie does surpass Kohn’s explanations; parents need to be less overbearing and stop pampering their children.

Throughout the story, it becomes apparent that the parents in this story do less parenting than what would have been done in previous generations. Connie’s outing with a friend displays this parenting style.

In “A Summer Life” Soto is the name of a six-year-old boy who faces a decision between sinning and not fulfilling his sweet tooth desires. This all started when Soto became bored and thought the only way to cure his boredom was through sin. Though Soto knows that sinning is iniquitous he ends up going against all of his religious beliefs and greedily taking the pie for his own longing to eat something sweet. Shortly after, Soto knows stealing the pie was wrong and regrets his decision. In “A Summer Life” Soto shifts from greedy to guilty by using striking imagery, potent ethos, and biblical illusions to recreate his story.

The article “a tale of two summers for parents” by Belinda Luscombe talks about leaving kids by themselves. A woman named Deborah Harrell was taken to custody for leaving her 9year old daughter in a park. I believe that elementary-school-age children do require adult supervision because of how yungo and knowledgeable they are. Even though Harrell left her daughter near by and gave her a phone, it's still not right to have leave the child all alone. In a matter of seconds harrells daughter could have been kidnapped by some person.

In the article by Belinda Luscombe;A Tale of Two Summers for Parents, I see that most of the time the heat and screaming children isn't the worst part of the summer, it's the planning of it.

One afternoon last december, in Washington, DC, police was alerted by a person to pick up a brother and sister, who were walking a mile heading home, and take them to their parents. After the police took the kids home, he warned the kids’ father of potential dangers that his kids could have faced while walking unsupervised. (Griffin) These days, there are many other cases similar to this where kids walking home unsupervised are reported to authority and taken into supervision with their parents being warned in some ways as a consequence. So what makes kids walking home unsupervised such a nation-wide controversy? Free-range parenting. Nowadays, free-range parenting is quite a big issue as the world is changing so rapidly and is no longer the same world that parents in this generation could freely roam around in their own childhood. Some argue that free-range parenting is nothing more than a mere negligence over their children in that the world is now simply too dangerous for the children to explore on their own. They say that the world is no longer safe for a child to be outside alone and that so-called free-range parenting is just being irresponsible parents. However, they are wrong. Although free-range parenting may look so dangerous and unnecessarily risky, it, in fact, has far more advantages than disadvantages and is and has been an enormous necessity when raising children for a number of reasons: it makes

In the article, “ A Tale of Two Summers for Parents”, by Belinda Luscombe makes a point in which summer is the most difficult time especially for parents. The difficulty is mainly due to the fact that the children have 6 extra hours of free time on their hands and that the parent working works for minimum wage. At these circumstances the parent cannot get a babysitter, therefore leaving the child alone while the parent works to be able to put a meal on the table. As it was stated in the article, Deborah Harrell, was taken into custody for leaving her 9 year old daughter at the park with a cell phone while Deborah went to work at a McDonald’s that was near. These are the results of low wage income and the cost for a babysitter when it isn’t

Many parents worry about child care and how to supporting the child, they stress out more in the summer because that’s when the children are in break and the guardian has to look over the child. In some cases the parents think about sending them to a camp or something to keep them busy for the whole day, but some can’t afford where they want to send them because of the type of job they work in could have no child care and that pays a “minimum wage of $7.25 an hour”. Some jobs tend to have some employees stay in the place they work, others tend to be at home so when their child needs something there their and still manage to

Kacie continues to make progress on her Case Plan. She began another job through Jimmy’s Restaurant in the second week of November. Her work schedule is nightly and on weekends, therefore, affording her the flexibility to care appropriately for her children, and ensure that children take the school bus to and from the family residence daily. Her mother babysits her children when she works on weekends.

In the summer of August 31, 2017 Emily Yoffe wrote an article called Innocence is Irrelevant. This article is about a women named Sweat who got framed by her boyfriend, by putting drugs in her house and then calling the police and framing her. The story goes on to tell us how she has to commit guilty to a crime to take care of her family. Sweat is hoping to make her life happy is by knowing that her kids are happy and protected. Unfortunately having to plea bargain is making it very difficult to make sure her kids are protected. For example when Sweat said, “ she believed that this would result in the police pinning the crime on her sons” (Yoffe, 23). Taking the blame for her boyfriend all started when he didn’t abide by Sweat’s rules in the house and smoked marijuana in front of her kids in the house. She kicked him out and wanted him out of her life. The outcome was he framed her and called the police on her. When the police found the stash she made a very bold decision and told herself. “I’m not going to let my children go down for someone else’s mistake. A parent should take ownership of what happens in the house” (Yoffe,21). In doing so to protect her sons she told the police the marijuana was her’s. Sweat is relatable to Mama in A Raisin in the Sun because Sweat and Mama both want what’s best for their children.

For this activity, I decided to include the information I had so far from our summer parent involvement committee.

We also invited our LINC coordinator to our meeting, since he has worked with us during our previous family events.

Love and Dungeons in “The Children’s hour” The poem “The Children’s Hour,” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow expresses the idea of love between himself and his children. Longfellow’s wife passed away several years before “The Children’s Hour” was written, which made him appreciate the the moments with his children even more than he already did. The theme of the poem, love, is not introduced until the second stanza when he writes “...

500 days of summer is a story where a boy meets a girl, he falls in love with her yet she does not truly love him. The movie shows the progression of the relationship of Tom and Summer. It begins when they first meet when Summer begins working as a secretary where Tom works and progresses to them casually dating. Summer is obviously hesitant and against relationships yet Tom is overly eager to find the perfect girl. The story ultimately shows the demise and after effects of their relationship. At first thought anyone could think this is the typical love story where the movie casually progresses to them living happily ever after. This is not that kind of fairy tale love story.
