Moving is hard. Growing up in the same place, in the same house, with the same people for you whole life and then having to be torn away to move to a new city is a hard thing for anyone, especially children. Riley Andersen, a twelve-year-old girl from Minnesota, goes through a big move when her father gets a new job. Riley and her family have to move to San Francisco, California, moving away from her community, her friends, hockey team, and everything else she has ever known. Her and her two married parents experience stress, unhappiness, and how Community shapes children. Community is a place for a person that involves a neighborhood and the area that surrounds them. Children develop by creating close bonds with people in their community, through things like school or a sports team. (CITE BOOK) The children also develop based on the quality of the neighborhood surrounding them. If the community is a good, wealthy community, a child will most likely partake in sports and good activities; however, if the community is poor,

Children and young people should feel happy, safe, respected and included in the school or early years setting environment and all staff should be proactive in promoting positive behavior in the classroom, playground and the wider community.

The family system and parents are generally regarded as one of the most powerful forces in shaping adolescents. Parents have a great influence in the development of adolescents. The relationship of the parents largely effect the development of adolescents and is an important factor when looking at development. Well-adjusted adolescents tend to have intact families that are supportive and create a warm and loving environment with constant monitoring of behavior. The review examines the current research on adolescent development and how it is effected by parenting styles. Taking into account the changes that occur over time to parents this review shows the fluidity of parenting styles and the stressors that cause those changes.

In her article “The Myth of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed to Be. How It Was”, author Hope Edelman claims that perhaps the ideal, balanced, and harmonious marriage that many couples yearn for is merely an unachievable myth. Edelman’s anger and frustration drives her essay as she recounts her childhood, analyzes societal gender roles, and narrates her own relationship in order to explore the concept of shared responsibility in a marriage.

In observation #1, the both parents were effective in getting a desired behavior from their children. The little boy’s mother was effective by encouraging her son to tell the truth. This is long-term because the boy didn’t fear the truth and informed his mother of what had happened. Her reaction and understanding motivates the child to tell the truth. On the other hand, the little girl’s

1. The difference between a protective environment and a nuturing environment is that a protective environment is a place where a child is free from harm and can trust its parents and the people around him. A nuturing environment is an environment that is safe and the parents give the child all of its physical and emotional needs.

In “The Myth Of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed To Be. How It Was.,” Hope Edelman lays out the many obstacles she and her husband, John, had to overcome in their first years of marriage. She admits that from the beginning she assumed that all responsibilities would be split 50/50: if she contributed to the household income, he would contribute to helping out with childcare and housekeeping. But because John was in the midst of starting a new business and was working up to 92 hours per week, Edelman quickly realized how wrong her assumption was. As her own work hours started to dwindle down to about 18 per week, Edelman started to become extremely angry with the way her household as being run. She wanted John there to help her make decisions,

Studies have been conducted and examined whether parent – child conflict during the middle childhood years varied among families and if conflict had an impact on children’s respect towards authority figures. Children’s behaviors in parent – child interactions , it has been shown that there is cultural differences in parents backgrounds and parents behaviors . Authoritarian parenting practices have been found, in many studies, to be more common among ethnic minorities, while not showing associated negative child outcomes typically found within American children raised within same parenting styles. (e.g. Garcia Coll et. Al., 1995).

The student I focused on for this child art analysis report is an eleven-year-old male, and his name is Rustin. Rustin is in the fifth grade and currently resides in Smyrna, Ga with his father, mother, younger sister, and his pet cat. Both of Rustin’s parents are English speaking Caucasians that were born and raised in Georgia. Rustin is an older brother to his five-year-old sister, and they are both Caucasian and speak English. My student’s living environment consists of a two-parent household in a middle class neighborhood in Smyrna. Rustin’s parents both work full time but are able to stay very involved in their children’s lives. The student remains very active through sports teams such as soccer and tennis. Rustin is an extremely bright

There is a vast amount of research using the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory in order to assess risk factors for child maltreatment. Although, past research has focused on risk factors of child abuse using the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory and ways to increase protective factors; literature has seemed to have left out Child Protective Service’s involvement as a protective factor for child maltreatment. It is unclear if this gap in the research is due to lack of evidence based research to confirm the hypothesis that Child Protective Service is in fact a protective factor. However, this is why this research is so important to the field of social work, as well as, other helping professions. It is hypothesized that families with a history

First off, I am an educator. I need training because I am teaching kids. My kids. I have not done this before. Even if I had a third grader two years ago and I have another third grader this year, I have not taught this third grader. And that also means I have a sixth grader. Wow. I am pushing myself to learn and to model learning. I want to equip myself to use the tools that I have and develop those that are not in my skill-set. Not just for my children, but for myself as well.

Many psychologists throughout history have indulged in studies related to parenting behavior and how children are affected from such behavior. The work of Diana Baumrind, which is considered to be one of the most influential and well-studied theories of parenting behavior, was the first to identify three styles of parenting (Sclafani 44). These styles of parenting are called authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. This paper will further explain descriptions of these styles and the typical behaviors of children as a result of each style. This paper will also provide insight on the parenting style I was raised on along with my thoughts on types of discipline I might use in the

Throughout life, various peers considered Participant A as a gifted child and frequently labeled as insightful beyond their age, in addition to being selfless, talented and loving. The family took interest on occasion to outdoor outings, camping, and parks. This would provide the opportunity to play openly outdoors and considered a joy for Participant A. This was part of childhood. Nature once again brought good feelings, play, curiosity, and joy with interesting, unique, and attractive natural beings. However, although away from public scrutiny, Participant A endured the impact of parental dependence on drinking, in addition to physical, verbal, and psychological mistreatment and abuse. This brought on a sense of needing to shield oneself
