My score on the adult adolescent parenting inventory is 7. That means that I moderately believe that my child should be responsible for my wellbeing. I’m kind of on the fence because I partially feel that I should expect my child to be responsible for me so that they will be able to build communication skill. The other side of me feels that I shouldn’t force it on them. At the end of the day, I want my kid to be a kid, if they want to take responsibility for my well-being that's fine but it’s not a necessity.
I believe that my score reflects my parenting style or type rather than my skill and not my parenting skill. When comparing skill you’re pretty much saying okay "this is okay for everyone" or "this will work for everyone", but that is

In observation #1, the both parents were effective in getting a desired behavior from their children. The little boy’s mother was effective by encouraging her son to tell the truth. This is long-term because the boy didn’t fear the truth and informed his mother of what had happened. Her reaction and understanding motivates the child to tell the truth. On the other hand, the little girl’s
Throughout life, various peers considered Participant A as a gifted child and frequently labeled as insightful beyond their age, in addition to being selfless, talented and loving. The family took interest on occasion to outdoor outings, camping, and parks. This would provide the opportunity to play openly outdoors and considered a joy for Participant A. This was part of childhood. Nature once again brought good feelings, play, curiosity, and joy with interesting, unique, and attractive natural beings. However, although away from public scrutiny, Participant A endured the impact of parental dependence on drinking, in addition to physical, verbal, and psychological mistreatment and abuse. This brought on a sense of needing to shield oneself

I completed seven assessment tests from PsychCentral.com. The tests were based on parenting, relationships, and personality.
. I kept assuming he would understand what that meant, but on the third mealtime interruption, when I was clearly annoyed, the kid say, “You guys are doing this again?” I don’t mean to imply that there is hot, fresh food waiting for my husband and children at six o’clock every day. Yet I recognize that we regularly enjoy what many other families is unable to do, break bread together at an evening meal. It used to be that families sat down to eat dinner together most nights, but the bustling nature of contemporary life, including parents’ work schedules, children’s extracurricular activities and the ease of fast food, make the practice less common.
Many psychologists throughout history have indulged in studies related to parenting behavior and how children are affected from such behavior. The work of Diana Baumrind, which is considered to be one of the most influential and well-studied theories of parenting behavior, was the first to identify three styles of parenting (Sclafani 44). These styles of parenting are called authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. This paper will further explain descriptions of these styles and the typical behaviors of children as a result of each style. This paper will also provide insight on the parenting style I was raised on along with my thoughts on types of discipline I might use in the
There is an enormous responsibly for taking on the role of a parent to ensure that the child prospers physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, unlike the ability to drive a car there are no requirements

My first observation was located in the Target grocery area in Camarillo on Monday February 24, 2014 at 3:45 pm. I observed a family of four consisting of Person #1 Man (30-35 years) Person #2 Woman (30-35 years) Person #3 Boy (5-6 years) Person #4 Girl (3 years). The father was pushing a basket with the 3-year-old little girl in it and the boy was walking around with his mother as she shopped.
The issue in this case is that Tom is seeking an order for weekend contact with his children to oppose Linda’s request for the court to deny him any contact with the children after their separation. When making a parenting order in relation to a child, the court must apply a presumption that it is in the best interests of the child for the child's parents to have equal shared parental responsibility for the child. Firstly, any order made by the court must include consideration of the two primary issues pursuant to Section 60CC. These are the benefit to the child of having a meaningful relationship with both parents; and the need to protect the child from physical and psychological harm from being subjected or exposed to abuse, neglect
“Adolescence is a critical developmental period because the life goals and behaviors that individuals adopt have long term consequences for their well-being” (Lekes, 2009, p.858) and heavily influence their ideology and interdependence. Requiring youth to adhere and behave within boundaries set by parents, sets precedence for adult behavior. The major factor in creating responsibility and structure is setting clear and concise rules, guidelines and expectations followed with constructive feedback (positive or negative) that “enhances perceptions of competence and control as opposed to feelings of helplessness” (Farkas et al., 2010, p.269)
My approach to parenting is to stay open-minded and flexible as possible. I see my child as an individual: a person whose voice is valid and important; this does not mean I go easy when it comes to disciplining her. She is well aware of the boundaries within our relationship. She can talk to me about any and everything at any time. I make time regardless of the situation, even if it means setting a time to address a concern. My parenting style emerged from deep, inner self-reflection and the need to change inherited, dysfunctional dynamics from my own upbringing. This year my daughter turns 18, and I’m beginning to see the results of my efforts.
