Parents Response To Cry Research Paper

At the start of their lives, babies are programmed to seek out the things that they want by crying. As they mature, though, children's emotional capabilities expand, allowing them to develop a variety of skills that they will need in their adult lives.

Children are very complex, unique and varied individuals whose genetics, connections and backgrounds all perform significant roles in their emotional development (Wilson, 2003). The genetic blueprint a child inherits from its parents may plot a course for development but the environment and the influences within can affect how the child is shaped, how they connect with and are perceived by others and how their emotions are or are not expressed. Wilson (2003) points out emotions as an experience that is linked to cognitive interpretation, context, subjective feeling, physical reaction and behavioural expression. Campos, Campos, and Barrett (1989) suggest emotions are processes of establishing, maintaining, or disrupting the relations between the person and the internal or external environment, when such relations are significant to the individual.

As early years practitioners our resposnibility is to provide unconditional love and express love both physically and verbally by holding, rocking, and stroking and by using soothing words to calm, comfort, and encourage the child to calm himself or herself. We gently enforce rules for children, and use removal of privileges and other forms of discipline that do not belittle, harm, or reject the child. Wemodel behavior that communicates confidence, optimism, and good results for children two and three years old. We praise the childre for accomplishments such as toilet training, calming self, talking, or creating something. We encourage the children to try things and do things on his or her own with minimal adult help. When acknowledge and label the child's feelings and so encourage the child to recognize and express his or her own feelings and to recognize some feelings in others (for example: sad, sorry, happy,angry);this can be through activities and songs such mr happy, how do you feel today etc. We use also use language to reinforce aspects of resilience for example encouragment `I know you can

Also realising in her study the importance of a “safe base” to infants, as in the observation research carried out on the Uganda families “if the mothers were unresponsive and emotionally detached, their infants seem to cry a lot more and often seemed clingy or insecure”(Discovering psychology, p.216,2010).

As a first time mom it’s hard to know exactly what to do after hearing your child scream for minutes on. Emily’s mom tries to comfort her but it fails, “when she saw me she’d break into a clogged weeping that could not be comforted, a cry I can hear yet” ( 559). In this statement its clear to me that Emily’s mother has problem nurturing her. A child typically finds comfort in a mothers touch and will eventually stop crying. The fact that Emily’s mother could not console her in these times leads me to believe it grew into a bigger problem the older Emily became. Being a working mom is not always easy but mothers manage long hours, less sleep to provide a better life for their children. Even though Emily’s mother found a way to provide for her their relationship was tested when

Permitting ourself and our child the opportunity to feel any emotion is the heart of emotion coaching. Sentiments are alright and nobody ought to be judged or censured for feeling a sure way. This step essentially requests that we pay consideration on the courses in which our child reacts to emotions, for example, tension, pity, indignation, and energy. We have to watch and listen to our child to wind up tuned in to how our child communicates different sentiments. Regarding the second step, Gottman prescribes that parents utilize profoundly emotional encounters as an approach to interface with their child.

While I was looking for my two case problems, I came across a very captivating advice column about a dad praising his 3 year old son for not crying. The dad explained that his son would cry when the mother would drop him off with the sitter. He even knew that it was normal for a young child not to fully understand that his mom would be coming back to get him. The child is displaying an insecure attachment which is normal for younger children. I think it is great that he was able to recognize that his son like his sitter, even though he cries when he is left. The attachment just shows that the son has a healthy bond with his mother. Boys are usually stereotyped to be tough and not show emotions, especially from their father figure. Jan’s response

Attachment between parents and children is one of the biggest necessities in a childhood because it is a key role in the development of personality and other aspects in a child. “Puppy” by George Sanders shows a perfect example of how parental behavior and attachment affects a child. Parent and child bonding can effect a child’s development by causing trauma within the child. Although Callie in “Puppy” believed she was doing right by her child, the story reveals a conflict of whether Callie’s actions should be considered as detachment from her child or doing what is best for her child. Attachment or bonding with a parent is necessary in a child’s life.

But we make fun of the girls who are more than just skin and bones

Quite often, it is necessary and actually helps in soothing a troubled child. Most parents, while in the act, have a long-term view of gradually teaching the qualities of patience and hard work to their wards. This appeasement is not worrisome, as long as the young humans are gradually conditioned to take ‘No’ for an answer to some of their demands. It, however, turns into a disadvantage if continued unabated during adolescence and adulthood. In such scenarios, the many harsh realities of life make ‘living within the means’ and ‘accepting denial’, difficult lessons for young adults to assimilate. However, within families, owing to the general focus on the long-term well-being of all members, appeasing can be easily controlled. More so because seldom do direct family members have any ulterior motives behind their love, pampering and the resultant

Crying is undoubtedly one of the most common humanistic features when it comes to the emotions of the average person, due to the fact that every human being has shed tears for which ever reasons their emotions led them to. However, crying can also be the result of many other issues and can indicate a serious problem if done continuously and drastically to the point where it becomes a serious concern. In adolescents, it is more normal to cry as the child may not understand or know what to do about a situation, leaving them flustered, agitated, sad, angry, or any negative emotion causing them to cry. With these things being said, when crying is understood to be the result of an underlying deep rooted issue, the next step is to understand the enforcer that is keeping the behavior of crying continuous and figure out exactly how to decrease it to the point of normality.

“Communication is key” is a common saying that is passed down from relationship to relationship. The saying means that for a relationship to work smoothly, we need to commutate with each other, and that includes our emotions. Often in big families, not everybody has a chance to expressed themselves equally or to be even heard. In the movie Home Alone, an eight-year-old child named Kevin has trouble expressing his emotions to his large extended family, his siblings, and his parents before a family Christmas trip. I choose this film for this paper because I can somewhat relate to Kevin and his family. I grew up with a large extended family and I also have not always been able to express my feelings

Tears streamed down my red stained face. Wetting my cheeks then falling off the peak of my chin onto the collar of my favorite pajamas. The small drops created translucent circles on the material. I sat wondering the fate of my family. Questioning everything that had just happened. My small mind trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle but only ending up with a picture that didn’t make sense. My lungs gasped for air. Only small amounts made their way through each shaken breath. My eye became foggy from the next wave of tears. The constant thumping in my head proceeded. Thump. Thump. Thump. I wish it would stop. I wish my tears would stop. Just everything needs to stop. Stop. From the eyes of another parent my display of sadness may have looked like a tantrum of a spoiled brat and not the empty display of a child who feels lost. Questions pierced my

Simply, our prior experiences reflect on how we deal with children. As Jacobson states, “the more I come to understand my own emotions, the more effective I will be in helping children manage theirs”(Jacobson, 2008, p.22). As a childhood memory, I remember I never had my parents on my back whenever I needed them, as we were seven brothers and sisters so I believe they were engaged with all of us. All I remember is that whenever I needed them they were not there which gives me the feeling that no one is here to listen to me and no one loves me (negative/insecure feelings). So I started faking things like if once in awhile my mother asked me “what happened” I replied “nothing”. And I have to admit that even until now I am doing the same thing with myself. As I have a feeling that no matter what happened no one cares and no one is there for me. That negative emotional development leaves a deep impact on me, but as a mother of two boys, I know today that I wanted to give my children what I never had (emotional support). When I see my children upset, I never asked them straight “what happened”, I observe them, then I sit with them alone and ask about their day, about their friends, about lunch, anything new or excited in school, while asking them questions, I try to develop an atmosphere where there will feel that I do care what is going on in their lives and they can share anything with me, as I am there to listen to them. At some point, they started sharing the events what

As a result of this assignment, my thinking has changed because I now understand that with the support of colleagues and a child’s family, it is possible to make a difference. As a teacher, I would not be able to do it alone. It is imperative that I get support from the child’s family because they can offer valuable information and ideas when finding strategies to help their child. I was very fortunate to select a focus child with a family that was so willing to work with me to help improve a behavior that I noticed their child was expressing. After getting to know H and her family, I have realized that my preconceived notions about them were completely wrong. H’s parents are very hard working people, but they make plenty of time for their family. I learned that their family is very adventurous. They really enjoy going hiking, skiing, and biking as a family. H also gets to have “mom days” where she gets to do a special activity with her mom. H enjoys these especially since her one year old brother has been around. I also figured that since H’s dad travels often, that it left her mom alone to raise the kids. While he is away, she gets help from his and her parents that live locally. It is true that H’s family is very wealthy, but I have gotten to truly know her as a person. At first I thought H would be a brat because of her parent’s wealth but it is the exact opposite.
