Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Thou famished grave” and “Mindful of you” both include the themes of death, however, “Thou famished grave” uses the personification of a grave as a starving beast, diction to add imagery of starvation, and an image of a strong will to live to show the resentfulness and bitterness that the speaker has towards death, while, “Mindful of you” uses the imagery and personification of the four seasons to remember someone close who has died, to express that although death may take people physically, but they live and are remembered through memories.
Some of the author’s points make a ton of sense and others not so much. Yes, babying your kid while they are young will only cause trouble later. However, degrading them
In my perspective, most of the young people do not take account of socioemotional development in infancy because it seems still too far for them. However, after taking Developmental Psychology course, I am convinced that it is extremely significant for us, as young people, to acknowledge of the developmental process because we will have more time to consider which path is most effective and relevant with our lifestyle and expectation on our children. Back to the source why I promote the socioemotional development in infancy, I was born in Vietnam, a country where most of parents raise their children by their knowledge in traditional experiences, which have no scientific evidence and psychological considerations. For instance, they highly believe in “spare the rod and spoil the child” which completely restrain the children’s ability to
In today's world many kids are too coddled by their parents and schools and I agree. Parents coddle their kids by taking them out of test and not challenging them. Schools baby them by making sure no one is left out in games and banning certain clothing. If parents and schools don’t stop treating their kids in this manner, they are going to have a harsh time when they grow
It is a certainly good post. I think you listed some of the most significant statements. I love I-2.2-To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve. I think the partnership that we have with the families and parents are crucial in development. Without constant
2. What is your view point on this topic? Do you agree? Disagree? Why? What are the pros/cons of "coddling"?
Personally it’s not the best objective for children to be brought up and not know the capabilities of the real world. Due to that, when a child grows up and goes out into the real world they wouldn’t be as efficient on how to handle themselves on their own, due to the protected state of mind that they were taught.
Kathleen Parker’s Article, “First Three Years Aren’t That Critical” Did your mother read to you when you were six weeks old? Did she teach you how to do math problems when you were two? Recently, I read an issue of Parenting Magazine and found an article on child development. Kathleen Parker’s
The absence of parents leaves children without guidance which forces to rely on the judgement of friends. Having a parental figure to not only punish but also to rely on is detrimental to the development of a child. Parents develop bonds that are strong but friends develop a relationship that based on understanding and kindness. This sets each individual on a fair and equal level disregarding the principles of a gerontocracy. Children obtain information that allows them to grow everyday. As a result, knowledgeable children end up becoming knowledgeable and influential
Why is transferring a juvenile to an adult criminal court so complex? Juvenile Transfers to Criminal Court is an article that was written by Jeffrey J. Shook for the purpose of illustrating a review of policy and practice changes in the transfer of juveniles. This article mainly discusses social and
5. The Utilitarian argument for paternalism also justifies paternalism towards adults. [Argument reached in essay] 6. The Exemption argument for paternalism is vague and often inaccurate. In my opinion, every point comes together to result in the conclusion except for Point #9. First of all, Point #9 is a personal opinion of Schrag’s. There are many who would say that paternalism has brought great suffering to people, such as when it is considered in the light of colonialism or LGBTQ rights. It is a statement brought up in his essay to be a fact, though there was never any evidence or argument made to prove it. Aside from that, regardless of whether or not Point #9 is true or not, it is not needed to come to the conclusion. The argument “well, this is what we’ve always done and we turned out fine” is not very convincing. This is especially so since Schrag is speaking from a Western point of view while different cultures around the world have historically had different standards and ages for adulthood. I also hesitate to say that this argument is sound. Schrag attempts to set standard claims that apply in every situation. However, people are very variable creatures. There are children who display stronger expressions of the characteristics found in Point #1 than certain adults do. And there are situations involving mental illness and/or certain home situations that make these rules even more complicated. Therefore I would argue that Schrag’s argument is not sound. Not only is it imperfect, but it is not a standard that we can hold every manifestation of paternalism to. If Schrag were to respond to my hesitation, he would focus on the
In the next section Tam inferred to a psychiatrist Dr. Cui, he suggested that there are irremediable character defects among the new one-child generation. Apparently, Cui suggested that a whole generation born after 1978 has developed a large number of mental and behavior problems and has significantly affected population quality. In my point of view, a child spoiled by their own parent sounds just ridiculous. Think about why any parents would spoil their own son or daughter, not it if they are crazy. It is nature that parent wants the best for their children. Parents always give the best environment, school to their children. I believe anyone have heard touching stories about great parent sacrificing many things in order to get their son or daughter a good environment to grow up. Also, I believe parents, as adults are completely cable of decide what the best for their children and not to over protect them. I agree that some parent gave too much to their children but they are just trying give best they can give, and when they realize
The suggestions the theory is not criticized for are ensuring the child has a good environment to develop in. The importance of health and nutrition are stressed. Programs are mentioned for expecting parents to receive advice on what parenting style they should try. There is not a universally correct way to parent a child so basically being a good parent is what is suggested. Staying involved, meeting the child’s needs, and most importantly not abusing them in any way. Technically anybody who can achieve that is a decent parent. Nobody is perfect and there is no one who is a perfect parent. Not to frighten you but even good parents have a bad seed. Sometimes it happens, which is where other biological and environmental factors step in to try and explain the behavior.
10.5) Parenting styles not only affect the relationship between parents, and adolescents it can also affect their school environment as well. Parents with expectations tend to have children with relatively high grades, where as if they have either high or low expectations their child won’t care what’s grades he or
I think it is a good principle some of it. Let your child live like a child, let them eat pizza play games, see television and what ells. But it can be too much. A child need also to be active, they need motion. Motion is good for your child’s body, and it make the brain stay in focus. It is an important thing to stay motivated for the child and the parents. If the child I motivated for something it could be the school, then the child will make good results. But a child needs space and time to learn. It can take days, weeks and maybe years to learn. As a parent is the most important thing in life, to know your child will make it good in the future. And then you must let your child come to you. They always know mom and dad knows best. This is just one way to look at a child raise. It is different form parents to parents how they see the way to raise their child best. But the thing every parent has
