Child Rearing Young Children

Working with children is one of the biggest adventures in life. However, as every other job, it has their complications and challenging times. A child with special needs or disabilities is a person who needs more from you; they require from your attention, support, help, and trust. I have the opportunity of working around children with special needs or disabilities; it is a different experience with each one. As every child, they are unique, they develop and learn in different ways. My purpose and reason of writing this essay are to understand, learn, and confirm that the accommodations that I am providing to my children with special needs or disabilities are the greatest ones and the ones that can

The authors concluded that the shorter that dwell time, the harder it is for military families to maintain a stable relationship. The authors also provided helpful information on family support and how stress factors can be reduced when military families come across deployment.

During the 16th century in England, upper class families had a strict and disciplinary way of child-rearing due to their perceptions of children. They viewed children as being confused sinners, whom needed to be taught in a harsh and strict environment in order to learn and become wholesome. For example, in Doc 1A, babies are described as “wayward and impulsive...altogether inclined to evil.” This perspective comes from a religious standpoint: a Calvinist minister named Robert Cleaver. This is a predictable point-of-view, because the religious believed that babies were sinners who must be disciplined and educated in order to become good (Doc 1A). However, there was a drastic change in the next couple of centuries. In the 17th century, children

Long absences can very often lead to complications in marriages and in relationships with children. Soldiers can miss very important moments because of a war, such as holidays and birthdays. The parent who is not at war also has to take on all of the responsibilities for home, children, and finance while their significant other is deployed. In addition to this, the parent who is left behind often finds themselves dealing with a change in behavior from their children, which is very likely a result from their other parent’s long absence. Many returning veterans blame the complications in their lives after their life in the military on their time deployed. It may seem insignificant, but this is a big reason why military force has an impact on the everyday lives of Americans who do not even serve for a military branch.

Graduated licences go off the chart! This restricts teens to a certain amount of driving hours. Now some states are debating whether to get GDLS or keep it the same way it is. Teens having Graduated drivers licence will decrease the number of accidents.

Deployments are a difficult time for military families. Deployment of a loved one affects the whole family. The service member may worry about how his family may fare without him or even miss milestones in his children’s lives. The spouse has to function as a single parent and take on responsibilities left behind by the service member. The children may suffer from behavioral problems and not adjust well to having a parent deployed.

My preconceived thoughts regarding military families and children were that deployed parents had a difficult time re-engaging, which increases the likelihood of arguments and disagreements, primarily about their partners’ military career and issues related to the children. The literature states that this is very accurate (Fraser, 2011; Hall, 2008; Williamson, 2012), and I actually experienced this hands-on during my second year field placement. To keep it short, the veteran stated that he’s had three divorces because of accused domestic violence allegations and he also does not have the best relationships with his children. This implication reaffirmed my preconception about veterans that much more, but I had to take a step back and understand

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issues and effects of military families and how they cope with deployments and reintegration. That is, by exploring many interventions and programs such as Operation Purple Camp, Military Child Education Coalition, and Families Overcoming under Stress. These programs should be utilized more often in order for families and children to effectively cope with military stress from deployments and reintegration. Three common themes that were analyzed in the literature review which are 1) Effects of Deployment and Reintegration of Military Families and Children; 2) Interventions for Children of Deployed or Reintegrated Parents; and 3) Maltreatment with Children of Deployed and Reintegrated parents. Specifically, this paper analyzes issues that fall under each of these three themes. That is, School and Educational Effects and Deployment, Psychosocial and Behavioral Effects of Deployment, Education and School Environment Intervention Programs, and Family Focused Intervention programs.

Kurt Bruner and Steve Stroope begin chapter 1 of their book titled It Starts At Home: A Practical Guide to Nurturing Lifelong Faith, with the following two sentences, “If you’ve ever been part of a loving, healthy family you have smelled the sweet aroma of heaven. If you’ve ever lived in a troubled, broken home you have breathed the foul stench of hell.” For many couples, having children can be the most pleasing experience they will ever have in their marriage. Unfortunately, for many others—those that are unable to cope with the stressors children bring to a marriage—will view the experience as a detriment to their marriage. For some just deciding when to have children can be a marriage stressor. For others, an unexpected pregnancy can cause tremendous stress in a marriage. Parenting requires a change in lifestyle and brings with it many challenges to a marriage. Those couples that think they are prepared soon find out that there is no way to prepare for all that raising a child entails. For those that are not prepared or did not get the chance to adequately prepare, there will be times when their commitments to each other will be tested.

It’s never easy to grow up with a parent in the military. My dad has remained in the air force even before my older brother and I were born, and before my parents were married. For my dad to be deployed during the holidays is a usual occurrence for our family, and we’ve learned to cope with keeping in touch over a phone and letters for months. In the year 2010, I learned that my dad would be deployed to Kuwait in the Middle East for four months. I was currently in seventh grade at the time, so the news was hard for me take in. Before then, my dad deployed countless times before, but four months at that time would be the longest he would be away.

Deployment and integration are one the greatest challenges military families and children have to face on a daily basis. When a family member deploys or reintegrates within the entire family, it not only affects the service member but it affects the entire family. Deployment can often lead to families and children, experiencing a negative mental health outcomes and compromised wellbeing. Bello (2015) found that most families and children (80.5% required less than one month to adjust to the return of their deployed parent (Bello, 2015). Accordingly, the families and children are often quick to adjust to having their family member back in the home. Interestingly, discoveries are surprising in light of the fact that when contrasted to another family, the discoveries are definitely unique. Boberiene (2014) found that three out of every four families feel that reintegration after the first three months is the most stressful phase of a deployment (Boberiene, 2014). This is because the family experiences many emotions while the member is away.

Young children (birth through 5 years of age) are improperly represented in U.S. military families with a deployed parent. Often times, experiences of stress accompany family members through out a deployment (Waliski, Bokony, Edlund, & Kirchner, 2012); however young children can be especially vulnerable. Despite the ability for many military families to be resilient, this type of separation can create a developmental crisis for a young child, compromising optimal child growth and development (Paris, DeVoe, Ross, & Acker, 2010). This article reviews the literature concerning the impact of parental deployment on young children, including development and attachment disruptions, and negative behavioral changes. It also looks at the psychological toll deployment has on the parent who remains at home, which potentially can create harm to the child. Finally, this article includes suggestions for parents to help their infants, toddlers, and preschoolers deal with a parental deployment.

In conclusion, the institution of childcare has not helped to lessen the workloads and worries of the busy parents instead it has increased in order to guide their children’ behaviour from being brutal and disobey. The placement of children being placed in the childcare has shown that they are being taken care of brutally and not given love and cares from the teachers. The placement of children in childcare is a bad decision made by the parents as the children developed a weak parental attachment and also brutal attitude of teacher and the aggressive behaviour of children developed. Despite there are advantages of children being placed in the childcare such as adapting academic readiness compared to theirs peers who has not gone to the childcare.

My main point is that both of the parents cannot be off hunting for their food or in today’s world, we call it working, someone needs to stay home and raise and tend to the kids. Now, it does not matter who stays home and raises the kids it could be the female or the male, I just used the prehistoric pattern of raising offspring. I know the saying it takes a village to raise kids and this may be beneficial if extended family partake in the child rearing. However, I do not think ordinary day cares workers should not be the ones looking after our children. They are not qualified for such a task, nor are they motivated to do what is best for the child, only the extended family would be truly motivated for what is best for the child.

One way to accomplish this is through answering research questions related to military family life, such as “How do multiple deployments, multiple moves and other military lifestyle factors affect the development of attachment in military children?” and “What is the long-term impact on military children who have experienced multiple deployments, relocations and other life-disrupting events associated with military life?” As America continues to send service members to the Middle East in the midst of the longest military conflict in its history, gaining an understanding of the long-term impact on this generation of military children is crucial to aid in the development of programs and resources with the hope of ameliorating the challenges they have encountered. Additionally, the answers to these research questions may assist in identifying protective and risk factors and increase positive outcomes for these children as they grow into
