1. My child is on a pathway of independence and most likely success. He is developed normal physically and is well above average in cognition. He is not very social but can make friends and hold his own socially and is emotionally stable. He also has a good sense of personal morality and is not malicious or a delinquent. I think the early stages of my influence on my child affected all these factors the most then his independence guided his own success routed what he learned from me. 2. Genes played a huge role in Daryl's development. He was nearly identical to me in many of his abilities and some of his interests but not due to my influence. He grew up with an average number of friends and involvement of extracurricular activities which most
- While children are influenced by many things, there are no stronger influences that that of their parents as they are usually their child’s first playmates and while the world expands with each passing year, parental influence is still one of the greatest factors in determining the ways in which a child will grow and develop.
If a child is in poor health then this will have an impact on their development. For example, a child with uncontrolled asthma or cystic fibrosis may not be able to run around and be as active as their peers. Therefore, this would mean that his physical development might not be the same. Not being able to play outside would almost certainly affect the social development, as children make many friendships on the playground and at after school clubs.
While children are influenced by many things, there are no stronger influences than that of their parents. Parents are usually their children’s first playmates, and while there world expands with each passing year, parental influence is still one of the greatest factors in determining the ways in which the child will grow and develop.
All children are not raised the same exact way. There are many different parenting styles, ranging from authoritative to neglectful parenting. Along with those many different styles also come many different opinions on which ones are better or worse for children. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is a book that essentially looks into many factors that contribute to people's successes. In chapter four, Gladwell writes about how different parenting philosophies impact how successful the children will be when they are older. Gladwell claims that there are essentially only two main parenting philosophies, “concerted cultivation” and “accomplishment of natural growth” (Gladwell 104). Gladwell goes on to also claim that between those two parenting philosophies, children raised from concerted
For example one family may allow their child more freedom and let them play outside in the street whereas another would keep the child in the confines of the garden only. This is also true in the case of an older child for instance a teenager. One may be allowed the independence and freedom of coming in late and another is not. All these decisions made by parents and carers can affect their child’s development.
The textbook says that a major influence to parenting is the child's temperament and birth order (Bee & Boyd, 2012). One child factor example is that when Oliver was eight he like to play with his sister in the backyard only if he got to choose the game. Usually I would let him do this because Sloane was younger and just happy to hang out with her brother. Also Oliver would tend to throw fits at this age if things did not go his way. So I would usually let them choose the game but sometimes I would make him play Sloane's games to try to get him used to letting others take control. The textbook also says that a factor influencing parenting is the parents own upbringing (Bee & Boyd, 2012). One parent factor example is from my own past. When I was younger I hit my head playing soccer and got a concussion. Throughout my concussion I went to neurologist and physical therapy. So when Oliver was ten he fell off his skateboard and hit his head and got a brain injury, I did the same thing as my parents did for me and took him to neurologist and physical therapy. And when he recovered from it I put him back in school only taking him out for physical therapy and still took him to the neurologist annually for check ups. Also the decisions I made to parent had outcomes later on my sons life. When Oliver was three he wasn't very energetic and like to do quiet activities inside, so I got him involved in outdoor activities. My husband and I would play catch outside with him and eventually when he was six years old we signed him up for baseball. Oliver started to love baseball and began training for the travel team and would later make the high school baseball team. Another example where my decisions affected the outcome of my son later in life was when Oliver was eight he became really into drawling, designing things, and building models so I helped him
Having or not having a good parental guidance can dictate if you are going to have a successful or unsuccessful life. The other
My parenting style is shown through the many different decisions I made throughout my child’s development. When making certain decisions I asked myself how I was going to assess the situation. How was I going to make the decision where it would benefit me and my child in the future? I would describe my parenting style as very disciplined, however, laid back during certain situations. When there was a problem I made the decision to address the problem with my child. For example, at 18 months, Leo started saying the word “no” and started to refuse help. I made the decision to let him choose between two choices which are both options that I want him to do. This allowed my child to become an active part in making choices during a certain situation. At three years old, Leo was being pushed around in school and was lacking leadership abilities. I made the decision to arrange play dates with other kids and praised Leo for sharing and communicating appropriately with the other children. During adolescence, Leo’s self-esteem was pretty high,

Some of the most relevant traits that a parent need are: Attachment capacity. This trait will help the infant to develop self-esteem and the capacity to build trustful personal relationships in the future. A person who had attachment to his parents during infancy will possess higher self-esteem and the capacity to build more and longer lasting relationships throughout their life, on the other hand children who have been neglected seem to be emotionally withdrawn and have a hard time developing social bonds, even though they might have a few social bonds these bonds often prove to be superficial and are easily discarded. Another trait is the capacity of empathic communication; this is the ability of the parent to synchronize to the internal functioning of their child and being able to recognize the emotional and physical gestures that highlight the emotional wellbeing of the infant, supporting the growth and development of the infant and requiring an adequate level of maturity, it is necessary to recognize and reward the accomplishments of the infant this will stimulate growth and overall development.

Which parenting style will lead to a child becoming successful and stable in life? Many argue about the answer to this question. There are four main types of parenting styles. There’s authoritarian parenting which follows a set of strict rules and doesn’t necessarily nurture the child; apathetic towards their emotions, demanding a sort of blind obedience from the child. Authoritative parenting which takes a more moderate approach; setting high standards, nurtures, and responds to the child’s emotions. Permissive parenting which is reluctant to impose rules and standards, preferring to allow kids to regulate themselves. Finally, there’s the hands-off parenting in which the parent doesn’t involve themselves
Nurtures has its good and bad influences on one success. In the “Science of Success” the scientist decided to teach the risk allele children things to change their behavior. The text states, “As it turned out the toddlers with the risk allele blew by their counterparts. They cut their externalizing scores by almost 27 percent, while the protective allele kids cut theirs by just 12 percent…”(Dobbs paragraph 13). This shows how if one’s nurtured in the right way they can change their genetic problems into something better.
