Childrens Behavior Is Worst Today Than Ten Years Ago

With over three hundred million Americans and over six billion people worldwide parenting skills are essential to maintain a healthy society. Parenting involves many aspects and requires many skills. It is a time to nurture, instruct, and correct to develop fundamental skills children will need to be mature, responsible, and contributing adults to a society. There are four commonly identified parenting styles; authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. Of the four parenting styles, two remain on opposite ends of the parenting spectrum. These two styles; authoritarian, and permissive both have deleterious results that are often visible throughout different developmental stages, such as rebellious behavior. As well

As the child gets older i.e. around two years old the relationship as parents begins to change they start educating their children through discipline etc. When setting boundaries for discipline rules are implemented. The rules provide children with the freedom to express themselves within certain boundaries enabling them to learn and develop effectively.

Right now we are having problems in schools that we didn't have years ago because parents don't teach the fundamental values and or manners, since there is since there is a lot of violence in streets and tv shows the kids grow with all that and try to do what they see because that's what they think it is correct in this last years they have been many cases of bullying because one of the values that's a getting lost is respect that is the fundamental value each kid should have, if we continue like this in some years kids would be worst than adults in recent years it has been seen that students get weapons with them such as gums and knives to school and try to harm and even kill the teacher or other students, recent studies have shown that the main reasons of these violence: first of all because weapons are very accessible in this

The heartbeats, the movements of our head are behavior. The way we eat, the way we drink, the way we walk, we talk, are behavior. The construction of a bridge, the composition of a song are behavior. The fantasies of a child, the dreams of a adolescent, the illusions of an alcoholic are behavior. Although we are all familiar with human behavior, a little do we understand or we can explain about it.

Behavior therapy is a term that refers to psychotherapy or behavior analysis, or a combination between this two therapies. From general view, the methods use are focusing on the behaviors or either combine with sense of thoughts and feelings that might be the factor. Those who practice behavioral therapy keen to view at specific things, learn about the different type of behaviors and analyse on how the environment will get impact on those behaviors. They tend to look for the result of the treatment that usually is measurable. Behavioral therapy does not involve one specific method but it has a wide range of techniques that can be used to treat a person's psychological problems. Behaviorism see psychological disorders as the result of maladaptive

The other week was only the latest takedown of what has become a fashionable segment of the population to bash: the American teenager. A phone (land line!) survey of 1,200 17-year-olds, conducted by the research organization Common Core and released Feb. 26, found our young people to be living in "stunning ignorance" of history and literature.

Many bystanders perceive that young children with bad behavior want attention from whoever is around. In most cases this is true, but sometimes there is an underlying root to this behavior. In order to handle an outraged child, one must consider why he/she is like this. Three of the reasons why a child could be acting out are separation anxiety, the size of the child’s family and birth order, and disorders.

Behavioral problems are social behaviors that are inappropriate to age, culture or ethnic norms and are difficult to characterize. Behavioral problems can be categorized into “Internalizing” and “Externalizing”.16Internalizing behavioral problems include psychosomatic disorders, social withdrawal, anxiety, and sadness and are more common among girls. An externalizing behavioral problem include negative behavior directed outward such as frequent defiance, destruction of property, hyperactivity, anger, and impulsivity and is more common among boys.1

Some children seem to be in the behavior system for many schools all over the country. The child may not have an adult figure in his or her life,developing bad and dangerous traits from bad influences at a young age and never learning the importance of respect and control. These traits decreases the chance of earning a job and also increases the incarceration rate and the chance of being on the street after or even before high school.When children are open to violence and are not parented, the student shows consistent bad behavior leading the child into terrible situations. Parental decisions, traumatic issues, and lack of communication can have a child go from being an important role in society to being in a juvenile detention system or becoming another stereotypical statistic. An adult figure can change the lives of children making the economy better.

Child behavior has gotten worse over the years. These kids don't get any type of discipline now and days. Kids now and days don’t have any respect for anyone. Kids think it's ok to be rebellious against adults who are trying to help them out in situations.

There is a grave national crisis occurring all across the nation. Children everywhere are committing acts of hostility in their schools. Schools are no longer a safe haven for children but are now considered war zones where victims are abundant and violence is the enemy. Fifty-seven percent of public elementary and secondary school principals reported that one or more incidents of crime or violence occurred in their schools and were reported to law enforcement officials. Ten percent of all public schools experienced one or more serious violent crimes. Some 6,093 students were expelled during the 1996-1997 academic school year for bringing firearms or explosives to school.

“The US Department of Education based on their recent surveys has reported that at least ten percent of the schools in the entire United States of America are faced with problems associated with violence and in these schools there is at least one serious case of crime other than thefts and physical attacks”(School Violence...). The article, School Violence-a Survey, on the School Violence, Weapons, Crime, and Bullying website clearly states a rising problem within the US. It seems as if the news has a constant flow of new school violence cases, and there is no indication of slowing down. It is truly shocking to think that teens could cause so much destruction in their own schools. Nevertheless, school violence cases occur quite

Therefore, one can then assume that authoritative parents can communicate and maintain a level of good communication with the child. Maccoby & Martin, 1983 (as cited in Harmon & Schrodt, 2012) promotes that exercising authoritative parenting can augment a child’s social and communication level in a positive way through nurturance, reasonable discipline, and interaction. For example, Buchanan, Maccoby, & Dornbusch, 1996; Buri, Louiselle, Misukanis, & Mueller, 1988 (as cited in Harmon & Schrodt, 2012) suggested that if a child exhibits good behavior, then he may in return be rewarded with an encouraging remark, consequently augmenting the child’s self-esteem. The child can gain confidence from this interaction and continue to build on his communication level. Buchanan, Maccoby, & Dornbusch, 1996; Buri, Louiselle, Misukanis, & Mueller, 1988 (as cited in Harmon & Schrodt, 2012) further explained that reasonable discipline expressed by authoritative parents can prevent the child from inflicting negative judgement since there is a balance: reasonable discipline should neither be too open-ended or brutal. Finally, limiting irrational restrictions and obtrusive behavior from the child can create a sense of trust and allow the child to explore some independence.

Pairing this with Kendra Cherry’s article on “What Is Authoritative Parenting?” helps further affirm the clam made when she states that authoritative parents “listen to their children, encourage independence, place limits, consequences, and expectations on their children's behavior, express warmth and nurturance, allow children to express opinions, encourage children to discuss options, and administer fair and consistent discipline.” It’s easy to see that from this information we can all improve, even just a little bit.

My niece will be attending kindergarten in the fall. She is so excited to be taking the big yellow school bus to school. While she is excited to attend school, I just hope she be in a safe environment at school. I remember my school days when a boy was pulling a girl's ponytail or kids were pushing one another in line, this type of behavior was considered disruptive or violent. Today it is a different story. I read the paper and listen to the news of school violence. Kids shooting kids. Children as young as 8 years old bring guns to school. These situations scare me to death. I try to remember when I was going through middle and elementary school and how I would have
