Family plays an important role in the positive development of a child’s mind, behavior and in general as a whole. Everyone wants a stable environment whether at home or outside. Stability in life does not last all the time due to stress, conflict or any other issues that sometimes can’t be avoided. Conflict occurs with or without us realizing it. It can happen in our daily lives from the smallest to the biggest issues either with our family, friends, strangers, colleagues or just about anyone we may encounter. Conflict is a struggle over values and claims to scarce status, power and resources in which the aims of the opponents are to neutralize, injure or eliminate the rivals (Coser, 1967). There are always advantages and disadvantages …show more content…
The controlled variable in this study will be the number of children whiles the independent variable level of family conflict. It will be measured through tests that will be given to the children. As for the dependent variable it is to see if the level of social development affects the child as a whole. The higher the level of family conflict, the lower the level of social development of the child whereas the lower the level of family conflict, the higher the level of the child social development is going to be. The theoretical definition of family conflict is described as set of belief or values that one or more individual that has different opinions or understanding about certain issue.

Social development of a child is where they will relate themselves to others in order to be independent, to have a relationship or connect with others and that is when a child will develop their social skills.

Personal, social and emotional developments (PSED) are acknowledged as one of the starting point of accomplishment in life. PSED is about the whole child, how they are developing now, what they can do to reach their goals but also contribute to their community and how children perceive their identity and ability, understand their relation to the others in the society and apprehend their own and others’ feelings. PSED are a part of children’s development where they will be able to communicate effectively and be able to develop positive behavior among themselves and to others. According to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), PSED is consists of three aspects which are self-confidence and self-awareness, managing feelings and behavior
Socially and Emotionally the family is a big influence in a child’s development. Parents have a big role by providing care and guidance for their development. Unfortunately some families cannot promote the development of a child because of the conflict among the parents. A single parent can have difficulties in boosting a better development in children and young people, sometimes a child is separated from its siblings and this can affect them too.
In today’s world, families are dynamic and interdependent systems. The developmental processes of the children in the family are deeply affected by how the family system operates. However, a family’s structure does not determine whether it is a healthy family system or not. Today, families consist of single parents, stepparents, divorced parents, remarried parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. They are all able to contribute to a healthy functioning family system by meeting each family member’s needs and encouraging positive communication (Jamiolkowski, 2008). Unhealthy family systems have negative and possibly
Family dynamics and relationships in our younger years help shape our view of the world and how we fit into it. Whether you agree with Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, or Erik Erickson,
Currently, family around the world have different way to take care their own children. Some of parents are very care too much about their children and some maybe not even care. However, some of parents are very care to much about their children. they don’t think that can extremely harmful to their children and adolescents because of their to much overly involved in children's life and overprotective .In fact, Helicopter parenting family who is overly involved in their own children and Some Helicopter parenting family had Bubble-wrapping our children that overprotective parenting .they don’t think , when they do like this can be bored the children life,make their kid stress, feel alone and hopeless because of them too much overprotective.

The way kids are raised by their parents effects their decision making and their values, beliefs and self-image until the day they die. If a kid grows up figuring things out herself or is neglected etc., that kid is forced to do what is necessary to develop as fully as possible. Hamama and Arazi describe family relationships as being crucial in the development of the child. The article specifies that two direct ways that kids are hurt is through family cohesion and subjective well being. Family cohesion, in this article, is defined as the connections between family members that each family has, while subjective well being talks about people’s understanding of the life they live and how they react to everyday situations and how all that effects their emotional and cognitive mind. These two factors have shown to be directly correlated to children acting aggressively or unpleasant, according to Hamama and Arazi. Children’s aggression behavior includes three parts, according to Hamama and Arazi. “1. A cognitive dimension-hostility;2.an emotional dimension-anger; and 3. A behavioral dimension- physical and verbal violence” is how they defined aggressive behavior. Those two factors are largely what influences children and their development, in Hamama and Arazi’s eyes(Hamama and Arazi). This article lays a great foundation for the explanation of Into the Wild.
Family relationships are an important part of humanity. Many children grow up with or without a family thus resulting the way they behave. Having a good relationship with your family is the key to a healthy living. We need to trust one another and learn to gain respect for a happy future. This is an important part of the process to a healthy relationship because it plays a crucial role in instilling values and teaching responsibilities.For example if there are parents who fought a lot, the child would be insecure towards other people. Another, point is that it helps solve misunderstandings in the family, thus creating a stable unity.
Positive family dynamics boil down to how they treat and interact with one another. If a child like Melinda had an undesired homelife, then coming home to an unhappy household would not put her in a happy state of mind. On the other hand, if she came home to a joyful and pleasing household, this would give Melinda the chace to pick up that joy in herself. Conversations between family members can help the emotional and mental state of mind.(...) If
Personal conflict is addressed within the home since the family is the foundation for order and peace within the world. Confucian’s believe that family relationships are crucial in order to have a peaceful and harmonious society. But For a long period in history, the primary responsibility for family harmony was laid on children. When there was conflict or tension between siblings, it was dealt with by the younger child showing respect, service, or payment provided to the elder. When conflicts arose between parents and children, it was the child’s responsibility to apologize and self-criticize him or herself. However, in the early twentieth century, this
A dysfunctional family is a group of people usually related by some means, not always necessarily by blood, in which conflict, misbehavior, maltreatment and neglecting create a hostile life for its members. To explain this idea better we will see the definition of family, the differences between a healthy and a dysfunctional family; their characteristics and behavioral patterns. Some examples will help us examine this issue better, taking us to discuss the different factors that contribute to the formation of such families, along with its consequences in today’s society.
Children enter the world as part of preexisting systems. They enter parental systems and families that already have rules, roles and boundaries, and more are made as children grow and the family develops. These transitions can be confusing and challenging for all members involved leading to feelings of fear, anger and even helplessness. Members within the family
In the early stages of a child’s character development, the family is the first social group that the child has. The relationship that is fostered between the family and the child is important, because it is the role of the family that influences the child’s behavior. Although the child may be influenced by the father and siblings, these relationships are looked to second. The child realizes early that the family belongs to him. This leads to jealousy towards other siblings because he may strive to be significant, and establish a position of superiority. Once the child comes to trust the family, it no longer feels threatened. By fostering a good relationship with the family, the child develops trust which leads to the child developing
When a family decides to have a child, everything changes. That child becomes a number one priority. In order for a child to lead a healthy, functional life, a family needs to be strong and functional. When a family becomes dysfunctional, the most effected is the children. The children forget their children and act out which makes them difficult to live with. If a dysfunctional family, let alone the children, knew that therapy and help was available to them, more families would become healthy. In this paper, I will prove that children in dysfunctional families can self-diagnose and be encouraged to seek help and treatment so that their future can be affected by their own mistakes and not the mistakes of their families.
Conflicts in the family are usually considered as an undesirable symptom of a problem that need to be solved by family members. 1 In the family relationships, the parent-adolescent relationship represents an involuntary association, an imbalance of power and resources, and an obligation for the parent to function as caregiver.
The topic I have chosen for my paper is that of relationship between parents and children. Some of the points that I will be discussing are child abuse, child neglect and how it can affect a child and the relationship with the parents.
