152) required their reproduction and choosing to be childless was “non-normative” (p. 152). One participant believed that choosing to remain childless would be more readily accepted by those that did not intimately know him and viewed more negatively by those closest to him (p. 151). I feel this is a very apt assessment of society’s views on childlessness; it is easy to justify the projection of one’s personal beliefs onto someone that we closely know as opposed to a stranger. However, I also believe it depends on the projecting person’s ideas about social norms. I know several single and married couples that have decided to either delay childbearing or refrain altogether and I find no fault in their decision. I do not necessarily believe that it is imperative a person and/or couple have children. Nevertheless, I believe the subject belongs in the “Spouses-Only Area” (Hammond, Cheney, & Pearsey, 2015), and is not one I should pass judgment on. People should be allowed to make a decision that best suits them and not judged or pressured to fit some preconceived mold or

Within the article the author Kelly Welch has explained why she believes that being child free can be a choice and being happy without one can be possible. Within the article “Childfree by Choice” the author says “Some people feel their lives are complete and full without children.”(Childfree by Choice, Kelly W., p.7). She says that having a child will not be required to make a person’s life feel fulfilled, being happy without one is a choice that can be made. Also, the author says “For instance, a close friend of mine desperately desired to be a mother but because she is a genetic carrier of an always-fatal type of muscular dystrophy, she opted to remain childless.”(Childfree by Choice, Kelly W., p.7). Her friend wants to be a mother but because she is a carrier of a muscle

Some people are born and or raised to have a drive to succeed. They are the ones that are willing to go the extra mile to get a job done. They work hard to get ahead. On the other hand, there are people who are not willing to help themselves. They look for a hand out. They believe the world owes them. People can not control the type of home they are born into. Some people are raised to become something while other are raised merely to survive. Some children are born into a stable home full of love while others are born into an unstable home full of violence. Many are born poor, while others are born into a middle class home or an upper class home. According to the National Vital Statistics Reports Volume 57, Number 12 Births: Preliminary Data for 2007, there was 39.7% of children born to unmarried mothers in the United States. Each home offers different advantages and disadvantages. We are all products of our raising.

While on the other hand, children that are raised by both parents have higher rates of upward mobility. In addition, children who didn’t get to spend most of their childhood with both of their biological parents, usually have lower socioeconomic gains when compared to children who did. Studies also show that nearly a third of households that are run by single mothers in the United States, live below the poverty line.

The absence of a parent can affect a child in many different ways.One way it can affect a child is by their academics.This could affect them by their academics because they will not have the guidance they need in order to stay on track.The role of a parent is to motivate the child and guide them in the best direction towards life.If they do not have this support they will then be lead into the wrong direction.

What I learned and understand now is that it is very important to be a supporting teacher and be an advocate for the family and children. When there are many different backgrounds it is important to find ways in making the families come together with the classroom setting for example they talked in the video about the nature walk, which I think is a great way to have parent interaction. Being aware that at times children may demonstrate issues by other forms because their might be a language difference is very important because many young children try to communicate with one other, but it might be hard so they start to gesture in a nonverbal way. When you have labels and images I think it creates a better environment for the child and the parent

If you are attempting a difficult task, like assembling a furniture flatpack with french instructions would you like somebody to yell at you. I certainly hope not, but parents are putting kids in a similar situation on the sporting field every weekend.

People often run into individuals with children that should never have been allowed to have children. This happens more often than not. This can be seen in young parents or uneducated parents. A child is a human being that requires a large

After reading the article, I have come to the opinion that childfree people have legit reasons to not conceive or birth children and their reasons are not just completely black & white choices for their decision. In the article “Childfree by Choice” by Kelly J. Welch, goes well in depth in the increasing growth of young people deciding to not have children. The article brings in factual evidence and intriguing viewpoints that percentages of young or childless adults in modern has a high jump compares to it’s past recordings. The evidence in the article shows multiple reasons theses people chosen this option, but brings up three prominent and logical opinions on what lead to them choosing to not have children. I understand and relate to this topic more than anything else, for I am a young adult myself trying to find my place in this world and one of the main things in my head that constantly comes up is the potential to become a parent later on down the future. Also I am witnessing an increase of my former high school peers becoming parents at very young ages, where an average citizen would think these next generation has much more to give than being a parent right now. So with this thought into my brain I taken the three reasons that interest me to why some people don’t want kids, which are timing, career, and personality.

One pro is a single parent also feels like it increased bonding time with the children as a benefit. Without a spouse taking up time with their needs and wants . A single parent has more time and energy for the child. Single parents are able to fit a lot in their schedule without any problems . single parents are more relaxed because they don't have many things to worry about.

When it comes to raising a kid every parent wants to be the best parent. Many of them wonder if they are giving the right environment for the physical and behavioral growth of their kids. The reality is; most parents do not remain the best parents or at least good parents.

Some of the reason people have kids is to personify the love that they retain for their partners, or because they want to have a closer relationship with that partner and they believes that children will greatly assist in that situation. However, contradicting their beliefs it is proven that having children creates an opposite reaction; "Marital satisfaction rates actually plummet after the birth of the

For most people, the home life can affect how you act everyday, this is no different for children and school. The stress from home is shown to affect a child's school life. Research has shown that children that live with a single parent score less than children with two parents, on average, with measurements of educational achievements. The reason why children usually do worse than kids with both parents, is because the single parent must work. Therefore is not home to help with homework. Parents also provide the child with emotional support, encouragement and everyday assistance. So, if there is only one parent, then the child is only receiving half of the previously stated things compared to children with two parents. These things can affect a person at any school level. Over 57 percent of children who live with both parents enter college. Compared to the 32.5 percent of children who have single parents that enter college. This is just one way that single parenting can affect a child's life.\
