How Parent's Religious Affiliation Affects the Way

Children do not come with guidelines or instructions. What they do come with is a crucial set of physical and emotional needs that need to be met. To raise children properly, parents duties are not limited to just food, shelter and protection. Parents are largely responsible for their children’s success in life. Parents are required to teach and educate children. They have to shape knowledge and character into their children to prepare them to face the real world. To be successful with this, parents must provide self esteem needs, teach moral and values and provide discipline that is both effective and appropriate. As the generations have changed, many parenting styles have evolved, as well.

Discipline and obedience could not therefore be inflicted on a young child as had been traditionally thought, nor could it be sustained through rewards and punishments. “Obedience is seen as something which develops in the child in much the same way as other aspects of his character.” (Montessori, 1988, p.234)

In the quest to better understand world religions, we find that many religions are very similar to others and can even be called an off branch of a parent religion. Buddhism and Hinduism both have their origins in India and believe in Buddha, the prophet of Buddhism. Hindus even consider Buddha to be one of ten reincarnations of Vishnu, however, there are still a few fundamental differences between the religions. Buddhism and Christianity both emerged from existing religious systems, but it is Buddhism that became more of a departure. This is because of the fact that it changes the ethics of religion in comparison to Hinduism. Christianity to me is closer to Judaism because it contains most of the strong beliefs of Judaism, the only real difference is the belief that Jesus is the Messiah. In this prompt I will attempt to uncover weather Buddhism or Christianity has deviated further away from its parent religion of Hinduism or Judaism.

The best part of all these three interventions that I can be utilized in different phases, time and educates the family, with a high concentration in parenting skill, in how to interact with each other. Furthermore, it helps parents to learn better parenting skills that are not meant to punish their children instead educate them. Lastly, these are treatments that are taking into consideration the cultural portion of the family. As the study indicates, families from different ethnic backgrounds or cultural groups share a distinctive system of values, beliefs, and practices that overlap but that also differ in some aspects from that of other groups or cultures. (Garcia-Coll, Meyer, & Brillon, 1995). All families emphasize in different values that are important for them. For instance, Caucasian families tend to emphasizes in independency and autonomy at an early age while Latino families will emphasize in respect, loyalty or obedience. Factors that are extremely important to focus in a proper technic. In the case of the Mann family, they are oriented religious, hard working, family oriented and they want to stay as a family, regardless of their problems.

But as my religion is passed down the generations it has seemed to dilute a bit. I, myself am Catholic as well, but we don’t always make it to church on Sunday, and we aren’t quite as involved as my grandparents were, and yet we still hold the same beliefs. My ancestors religious values have certainly impacted my own. Is this because we, as humans, feel pressure to conform? Is it because it’s all we’ve never known? The answer to these questions is also explored in modern literature. In the Joy Luck Club, author Amy Tan uses her characters, a mother daughter pair named Rose and An-Mei to express the effect a parent’s religious effects can have on their children. An-Mei,“believed in God’s will for many years. It was as if she had turned on a celestial faucett and goodness kept pouring out. She said it was faith that kept all these good things

Foy L. Smith’s forward in the book “The Forgotten Commandment” begins with the words, “A lack of discipline is responsible for the chaos in which the world now finds itself.” (Smithson, pg. 2). Although this is a true statement it should be recognized first how important it is to start the discipline in the home. If a family has its foundation in the Lord it is much more difficult for those trying to infect or separate a congregation to do so. “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6). The admonition of the Lord

Specifically, McFarland said Christian parents should lead by example and show their child that Jesus Christ is the top priority in their personal life including their marriage and home. Their faith should also be evident in their practices, even during dinner conversations because.

What do children have as a weakness, as a result of religion playing a role in the parenting styles of how they grow up? Children are very important in the world today being that they are the next generation to lead the next kin of children, which are starting to slowly grow up. In the world, religion is a major component in the lives of many ethnic groups of people. Religion represents a large portion of the world, approximately 84% of the population (Harper, 2012). When children grow up in a religious setting or have attained a religious background, they have different views than children who do not have a religion that they conform to. Children who associate with having a religion generally are accompanied with having a parental guardian

The family is fading. Religion is falling. Faith is failing. The first right in the First Amendment, the right to the free practice of religion, is being viciously attacked by the citizens of America. The traditional family—an ideal so simple and fundamental that, twenty years ago, any alteration to it would be unfathomable—is now being challenged. Times are changing; society is changing. Among others, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland addresses this change in his speech, “Faith, Family, and Religious Freedom.” In this lecture given at Chapman University in 2015, he focuses on that trend in today’s society: faith, family, and religious freedom, or, more accurately, the decline in it. Traditional family values and religion have degraded at an astonishing rate, he claims; the fact that he devoted an entire speech to the topic proves the severity of said trend. Elder Holland builds common ground, quotes credible sources, and shows irrefutable facts and statistics to effectively convince his religious listeners that action must be taken to prevent the disappearing freedoms of faith, family, and religion, else disastrous consequences take place.

Raising kids in the twenty first century challenges parents more than ever. Culture calls out to kids, wanting to form them, while many parents want their kids to grow up with a biblical background and faith-based set of values. So how can a parent ride against the tide of culture to raise strong kids with strong faith? Church attendance certainly makes a different, but parents need to be parents, and they need to use the resources that we have available today.

All of these reinforcements and punishments are shaping the child to grow into an individual who has the right morals in life. If a parent wants their child to do well in school and clean the house they need to set a series of gradual daily goals for their child. The parent then can reward them for

The parents influence on a child’s religion is strong but it isn’t inevitable that the child will become the same religion as their parents. There are a few factors that come into play for the transitions of religion to be effective. The first factor is quality, which means religious socialization is stronger when marital happiness is stronger in a family and if parents are more accepting and affectionate towards their children. The second factor is unity. If the parents of two separate religions then the link between the child and the parents religious influence will be disrupted. However if the religion is the same between the parents then the link will be stronger because religion beliefs will be practices more frequently. The third factor is stability. This states that if children grow up in intact families then the likelihood of children staying in a religion is stronger if the family was not intact. After I investigated the realization of religious socialization I came to realize that the only reason I was a Christian was because my family raise me in a stable, unified and affectionate home were

Children dont like when they don’t have someone to talk to if they are bothered, and when they don’t have their parents to talk to, it will show when they act or cause trouble. A debater from debate.org stated “parents raised their child, teaching them right from wrong, so they are morally responsible” (debate.org). What this shows, is that even if when kids do know what the right thing to do is, teaching them right from wrong isn’t powerful enough; therefore, more needs to be done if parents want their children to act right. If parents keep a clean background, and make the right the decisions around their child, show them love and attention, and have a more positive influence on them, the child wont commit and anything wrong, and the reason why this is true, is because kids won’t have a reason to do anything wrong if the parents are consistently doing the right

“To be or not to be?” With the previous quote, many thoughts can come to mind. To choose to do something or not? Parents have the choice to discipline their children. The concept of discipline originated during the biblical times. Children that are disciplined by their parents are affected psychologically, physically, and emotionally. It is all about how and why the children are disciplined that reflects onto the children. Parental discipline delivers lasting impressions into children’s lives through history, reasons, and methods.
