Developing Parenting Skills

Big Brothers Big Sisters is a program offered in a number of communities nationwide. The program allows an adult volunteer “Big” and a child “Little” to form a bond. When these relationships are developed, they are meant to have a “direct and lasting effect on the lives of the young children that are involved”. The goal of this program is to allow the children that are participating to know that they have the ability to succeed and thrive. The adults in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program provide the children (aged 6-18) with a “strong, enduring, and professionally supported one-to-one relationship. It is important for these children to have

All members of the staff must act as professionals while at work, especially with young children. The administrative and teaching staff must work together to ensure their practices are developmentally appropriate, and share new and/or creative ideas with one another. It is also the responsibility of a teacher to establish an open, trusting relationship with the parents of each children in their care. Thus, parents can freely communicate their thoughts, concerns, and/or suggestions about their child or the program. Parent satisfaction is something that every child care or development center should strive for.

Establishing positive parenting skills within the community will assist the parents in gaining new alternatives to their current practices. “Often we get the same families that are repeat offenders or they never really learn their ways of parenting are not acceptable” (Ruiz, 2015). Providing the “Strong Families” curriculum will reduce the number of children that are

For this outcome, I chose the CE101unit 6 assignment. I select this artifact because I provided information in childcare laws, early intervention and family services programs that promote family participation. This artifact shows my knowledge, commitment and desire to help families to find high quality childcare and resources within the community. It’s necessary to be aware of the resources that promoted family participation and address families concerned. One of the programs is known in Louisiana as “EarlySteps”. EarlySteps urges families to participate because they believe families are the child’s best advocates, also strongly ask that families always communicate any burden they may have. As teacher we have the opportunity to work with families

Over the course of an individual’s life span, one is seen forming relationships with several people in whom they find their presence an important aspect to their life. However, among these relationships, parent-child relationships are the most valuable, but also very complex. These relationships are built from a foundation of interaction starting from the birth of the child to their adulthood. Unfortunately, if this involvement is not present within a child’s life, it can ultimately cause them to feel neglected causing outrageous conflicts, behavior issues and emotional disputes. Parental involvement within a child’s life allows them to gain a sense of security ultimately increasing new learning of the child

Parents and children will be divided into groups and on occasion join together for group sessions (“Strengthening Families Program”, n.d.). The age of the children are broken down into 4 groups consisting of: pre-school 3-5 years, elementary school 6-11 years, junior high 10-14 years, early teens and high school 12-16 years (“Strengthening Families Program”, n.d.). The group of children that I will be facilitating is the early teens and high school. The outlines for the sessions are as follows: session 1: getting started and dreams, session 2: speaking and listening, session 3: staying cool in conflicts, session 4: being who you want to be, session 5: speaking for yourself, session 6: speaking up in your family, session 7: handling peer pressure and temptation, session 8: alcohol and drugs, session 9: problem Solving, session 10: friends dating and sexuality, session 11: managing emotions, session 12: handling criticism, session 13: coping with anger, and session 14: resources, review and

Being a trusted adult outside of their family helps the children beginto manage their own feelings and also promotes a posive interacons with their peers. An essenal part of our job is to help build their characters. Helping the children to achieve this includes helping them learn to make friends, respond to change and redirecon and to help them solve problems. III. My role and responsibility to the family is to be a median between the family and the child and to partner with the family to raise the quality of child care and the educaon. This means to work with the family by sharing resources that may help them with things such as paying a bill, employment informaon, educaonal needs of the adult and posive parenng and discipline. This also means to help the parents be a child’s teacher too by supplying them with the necessary means to do so. Whether it be a book they can work on with the child weekly or giving them hand-outs of extra-curricular acvies to work on with the children. Our main goal isto be a guide and keep an open line of communicaon for the

Parenting: from dressing, teaching, disciplining, to simply supporting a child, there are technically no right or wrong ways to provide care. Although there may not be a correct way, most, if not all, parents have been or will be criticized at some point because of their decisions in parenting. So what exactly makes someone good at parenting? A mother, father, or caregiver who exercises good parenting fosters a healthy relationship with the child, demonstrates and reciprocates respect, and reinforces responsibility.

My recommendation is to focus on the parents of the low-income teenagers who attend Glenville High School, which is where this free program will be held. This intervention will consist of 8 sessions led by trained professionals who have experience with helping caregivers improve their parenting skills and teaching parents how to communicate with and help their adolescent children.

There are several parenting styles which guide children throughout their life. These parenting styles can be either good or bad and this will have an effect on the child; either a positive or a negative one. This essay investigates the parenting styles from which emerge questions about the role of the mother and the father. It also focuses on the ways that either too much mothering or too much fathering might have an effect on the child’s identity later on in its life.

Parenting is different for everyone, but is any one way really better than the other? Amy Chua, a professor at Yale University, believes that the strict parenting style of Chinese mothers is the way to go. She believes that her strict and often harsh parenting style contributed to the success of her daughters. Chinese parents believe that if their children are successful, it is a reflection of the parents. Hanna Rosin, a contributing editor for the Atlantic, has very different views from Ms. Chua about the correct parenting style. Ms. Rosin believes that the more relaxed, nurturing, and self-led style of Western parenting is the better way to raise children. She believes that placing your children under immense pressure can produce

O’Byrne, Haddock, Poston, and Mid America Heart Institute (2002) investigated whether parenting style was a risk factor of smoking initiation and experimentation among adolescents and whether there was a relationship between parenting style and readiness to quit, and nicotine dependence among smokers. O’Byrne et al. (2002) defined current smokers as those who smoke regularly, experimenters as individuals who have smoked on one or two occasions, but have not smoked in the past month. Initiated smokers were considered both current smokers and individuals who smoked regularly in the past and then quit. Readiness to quit was categorized into four stages: precontemplation, for those who had no intent on quitting, contemplation, for those who may quit but not within the next 6 months, preparation, for those who will quit within the next 6 months and action, for those who will quit next month. Parenting style was measure by the Family of Origin Scale (FOS) which measured family intimacy and autonomy. This scale

Parenting practices can differ and be varied. This research is trying to address parenting practices and determine what might work the best. Bornstein and Manian (2013) are trying to determine the relationship between a mother’s responsiveness and the effect it will have on her child. Before conducting this research, the experimenters already believed that parenting practices have an effect on a child’s development. The study’s main question was whether some is more and in other words: How are global judgments of maternal parenting sensitivity given to certain levels of maternal contingent responsiveness to specific infant behaviors? (Bornstein et al 2013) The primary hypothesis was that specific infant and mother behaviors would have many variations, and a secondary hypothesis was that mother behaviors would subject to chance on infant behaviors. (Bornstein et al 2013) The participants were 335 European-American and their infants. The procedure was conducted in each of the mother’s homes by a videographer to observe record infant-mother behavior in a one-hour interval. They did this in their home because that is their most natural and comfortable environment. The results supported their hypothesis. There were many correlations between a mother and infant’s behavior. They also concluded that some is more when it comes to responsive parenting. In order to have a more accurate conclusion to their study, they will need to have a more diverse population. Also, they plan
