My Philosophy Of Parenting

These are all good questions that could each be a research paper. Some of them I feel a rhetorical in that they just don’t have an answer. Either way, they should feel the soul with anger at the thought of so much suffering that doesn’t need to happen. Most of these questions get at something that could be preventable if stopped at thought about for a moment. The question regarding corporate America influence the values of our children should make us think about parenting. Corporate America raising kids and not parents is something that is preventable in so many ways. Here is an idea, stop letting children watch so much television and go outside and play. To add to that idea, educating and inspiring parents to be parents. Not all these questions

To be a parent is a passionate business and it consists of anger as well as love. Parenting is a long-term affair. It is much longer than the majority of relationships in child care settings. Parents provide the continuity through the child’s life. Child care providers and teachers come and go in a child’s life, but parents provide the continuity that is needed.

My philosophy for child guidance would highlight the individual qualities and experiences of each child, always keeping in mind their individual emotional and cognitive development, family situation, social environment, and unique personality. I believe whole heartedly that children should be treated with respect and dignity. The use child guidance techniques that are positive and emotionally supportive of each individual child are the most important to me since how we treat and educate young children will not only affect their future but our future as well. I strongly believe that the best place for children to learn is an environment in which children are actively participating in all aspects. Children need to create their own knowledge and express themselves creatively in order for meaningful learning experiences to happen for them. When children are allowed to share and to freely express their emotions they learn how to positively deal with their feelings and to feel accepted for who they are.

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.

Some parents of infants think co-sleeping is beneficial, however; experts do believe that this practice is very dangerous. Every parent has the decision to co-sleep (sharing a bed with your baby), its weather they do or not that counts. There are reasons parents decide for or against, for example; if you’re a heavy sleeper, you might accidently roll over and suffocate your child. You might not realize that something like could happen, but it can. “Most parents just figure it will be easier for them, it’s not like every parent of a newborn is going to spend hours re-searching reasons not to co-sleep” (lifescience)

For as long as we can remember we are always told to never sleep with your baby that you could suffocate them by rolling over on them or what not. In a study by Davies, he found that prior to the 1700's co-sleeping was a normal thing around the world. It was not until the 1800's when the western society moved away from co-sleeping to an independent sleeping arrangement claiming the child will be too attached and have security problems; you will never get the child to sleep in their own bed; the child will not learn independence; or, the child could suffocate in various ways. Well, I agree

Infant co-sleeping is a highly controversial topic of debate in our society. There are many valid reasons as to why infant co-sleeping is an appropriate practice based upon many different things, some to include research, culture and personal opinion. And there are just as many reasons to recede that claim and support that co-sleeping is detrimental to the health and well-being of an infant. Before the following research, as outlined in this paper, my personal opinion was based on the fact that I practiced co-sleeping with my son many years ago, back when co-sleeping was not such an issue. I felt comfortable with co-sleeping and supported co-sleeping. The reasoning behind this could have been the age factor as a teen mother, my cultural beliefs and also the comfort of knowing my child was close and I could access him easily if needed. As I learned more about co-sleeping and began my work in the field of ECE, I was encouraged to support the “Back to Sleep” movement and to share the cons of co-sleeping with the families I worked with based upon the beliefs of my employer. The following articles will highlight the many pros and cons of infant co-sleeping

Although taboo in Western culture, co-sleeping is making a comeback. After the retraction of previous statements against co-sleeping, Dr. Richard Ferber, child sleep guru, has now sided with a family’s decision to share a bed with their infants. Although the American Society of Pediatrics warns that sleeping with your infant can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, the exact cause of SIDS is still unknown. The emotional benefits of sharing a bed with your baby can be enormous and some would argue that engaging in co-sleeping strengthens the bond between parent and child.

As a child, the perspective of a parent is very shallow. The child views a parent as the caregiver, the disciplinary, the homemaker, and the provider but do they see their parents own needs? Most can answer as a no, as children are naturally only self-aware. Then we look at the adulthood year and the parent becomes more a person outside of the caregiver status. The parent and child relationship changes, no longer is the parent providing all the needs for the child and the child grows to see the parent in more of a role of a person who has their own struggles, they have their own past, their own emotional and physical needs they need met as well. The child and parent relationship evolves over the years, we see that the child learns of the parents history, the child sees the parent in a different light and we see this in

In conclusion, you should always want to be there for your child, love them, and care for them. Not abuse them (physically or emotionally), just try to support their decisions no matter what they are, and try to always be there to try and help them. Children should be able to get emancipated if they assume that it is extremely necessary to do so. Children should never feel not loved or that their parents do not care about them. However, my point is if you can not act like a parent do not be

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

The teaching philosophy of exceptional children: My teaching career has been spent learning how to provide appropriate support, guidance, patience, & understanding, as well as to enhance academic growth & success, for all students. My purpose as a teacher is to enrich and inspire the lives of young students with moderate/intensive needs by providing access to information instead of functioning as the primary source of information for students to flourish. My teaching methods will be to create an environment ripe with opportunities for discovery and exploration which will allow the student to learn at his/her own pace, generate questions and construct knowledge, while providing hands-on practice of skills in authentic situations as well

Parenting is like taking on a jobof its own, it's a job like no other where u have to offer everything from silly giggles and heart-warming smiles to harsh attitudes and angry tears. Yet not everyone is cut out to be a parent and take on such a responsibility, some people are still stuck in a habit of only thinking of themselves.

The first year of infancy is always a debate on benefits or risks of sleeping solitary versus cosleeping, and bed sharing. The present longitudinal study attempted to shed further light on linkages between sleep arrangement use across the first year postpartum, infant-parent sleep, and family functioning, in a central Pennsylvania sample (Crosby, Kim, Shimizu, & Titi, 2016). Unlike previous studies, this present study examines linkages between infant sleep arrangements, sleep quality, and family functioning across five different age points in an infant’s first year of life. They also captured the fluidity of different patterns for sleep arrangements (e.g., consistent solitary sleep, early cosleeping that switched to solitary sleep by 6 months).

Children are the future of the world and need to be nurtured and educated in the best conditions. Thus, parenting is one of the most challenging and admirable responsibilities that people can experience. Parenting plays important roles in the development of children’s characteristics. Some people nurture children depending on their own ways. Others get advice from friends or books. Parenting can be divided into three groups: authoritative, permissive, and democratic parenting.
