I went to Richmond provincial court for the court visiting project on October 26, 2017. The courtroom number is 104 and the level of court is provincial. There was only one judge, one clerk and one bailiff in the court. The judge is female, but I do not have her name. There were numbers of applications had been discussed in the courtroom and most of them were related to driver license and child parenting issues. Most of driver licence issues only took around less than 5 minutes because they were arranged for the next court session with documents required. However, when it came to child parenting, it took longer time. There was an application related to child parenting. A father walked into courtroom with his son and the mother was with a lawyer. …show more content…
And both parties agreed. So, the judge asked the father to send the child back to school and then they will need to come back to court an hour later. Therefore, I do not have the judge’s decision in this case. There is another case that attracted my attention in the court room. A couple was arguing about child parenting. In this time, the plaintiff is the father and the defendant is the mother. However, the mother does not speak English well, so there is an interpreter for the mother. I saw that the clerk held a book and said something that wanted the interpreter to make a pledge for being an interpreter for the defendant. In this case, it seems like the plaintiff argued the defendant does not perform her duty to send the child back or pick up children on time. For some reasons, the plaintiff’s lawyer asked for full trail for two to discuss about child support or some other issues. And the defendant’s lawyer is also asking for the full trail. So, the judge agreed with the lawyer for the full trail, but she was wondering why plaintiff and defendant need the two hours. So the judge reduced the trail time from two hours to one and half hour in this case. Therefore, they will need to come to court again for further
1. The difference between a protective environment and a nuturing environment is that a protective environment is a place where a child is free from harm and can trust its parents and the people around him. A nuturing environment is an environment that is safe and the parents give the child all of its physical and emotional needs.
A court battle is erupting over the fate of a 3-year old named Braelynn. Her adopted family claims that she is theirs since they legal adopted her when her biological mother gave away all here parental rights. However, the father was incarcerated at this time and did not have a say in the ordeal. But now that he is out, he wants his daughter back since his parental rights should have never been terminated due to his incarceration. The Dalsings had adopted her from three weeks old and Braelynn has never met her biological dad. Yet a judge agreed with the biological father’s argument and vacated the adoption. Braelynn is still living with the couple but have requested a re-hearing at the state court of appeals.
While regulation and standard are the keys to the success of a childcare facility, there are factors that I believe are equally important to be successful in an early childcare program. So, I looked for a highly qualified teacher with good communication skills. Saint Mary Academy Inc. displayed these factors upon entry to the facility. I saw degrees of teacher and directors ranging from masters to bachelor degrees specialized for the profession display behind the desk of the director for the day.
On April 17, 2017, I attended public hearings in the Virginia Beach Circuit Court. I arrived in the circuit court room #2, at 0915 to observe cases that were scheduled to begin at 0930 A.M. I attended the hearings until 1123 A.M. Throughout the time while I was present in court, I observed a number of three cases. However, only the first two will be mentioned and discussed. The first case was a felony hearing of an illegal possession of cocaine. The second case was a violation of probation. Both of these cases were briefly discussed after the Judge entered the courtroom. The Judge, along with the attorneys, discussed which cases would be heard that day and which cases would be continued on a later scheduled date. The Judge then issued a
First off, I am an educator. I need training because I am teaching kids. My kids. I have not done this before. Even if I had a third grader two years ago and I have another third grader this year, I have not taught this third grader. And that also means I have a sixth grader. Wow. I am pushing myself to learn and to model learning. I want to equip myself to use the tools that I have and develop those that are not in my skill-set. Not just for my children, but for myself as well.
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 are several parenting styles which guide children throughout their life. These parenting styles can be either good or bad and this will have an effect on the child; either a positive or a negative one. This essay investigates the parenting styles from which emerge questions about the role of the mother and the father. It also focuses on the ways that either too much mothering or too much fathering might have an effect on the child’s identity later on in its life.
When I walked in, the defendant was seated on the stand, and he was telling the judge that he had filed for custody of his four children. As he was explaining why, Brad Macdonald, the ex-wife’s lawyer, objected. His reason for objecting was that the basis for filing was not relevant. I didn’t know that lawyers were free to interrupt people on the bench while they were presenting their case. The judge sustained the objection, and the defendant continued to plead his case.
In my recent psychology class we studied parenting styles. They are grouped into three different categories; authoritarian, authoritative, and overly permissive. This gave me insight into a couple of different programs I’ve watched on television.Authoritarian parents are parents that set strict rules to keep order and they usually do this without much expression of warmth and affection. “They demand obedience to authority.” (Coon & Mitterer, 2010, p. 91) When the child questions the parent, "Because I said so," is often the response. Parents tend to focus on bad behavior, and not positive behavior, and children are scolded or punished for not after the rules. Authoritative parents help their children learn to be responsible for
Mr. and Mrs. HarshHeart believe in the importance of stern discipline and impose strict rules
Due to the late arrival of the defendant, the defense barrister had to apologies on his behalf, resulting in the judge sanctioning him custody during lunchtime. I was surprise that see that judge did not say anything more, I am use to judges in America to be very cross with any party that arrived to the trail late. I had once witness seen a judge delayed the trail to another day for the lateness of the defense. But the judge only sanction him so I figure that this may happen more than once.
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.
Being a parent comes with a lot of responsibility and difficult decision making. You always have your child's best interest at heart, but sometimes your child may disagree with the rules you have set down. That is why, I believe, the perfect parenting style is democratic. You can compromise with your child, but still have basic rules you want them to follow, without them feeling targeted or that you are being unfair. When i become a parent, I want to make sure my children have guidelines. I want them to be able to make their own mistakes and learn from them. Their health, their type of entertainment and the toys they play with are three major, broad categories that I would like to have a say in, along with their input of course.
The family system and parents are generally regarded as one of the most powerful forces in shaping adolescents. Parents have a great influence in the development of adolescents. The relationship of the parents largely effect the development of adolescents and is an important factor when looking at development. Well-adjusted adolescents tend to have intact families that are supportive and create a warm and loving environment with constant monitoring of behavior. The review examines the current research on adolescent development and how it is effected by parenting styles. Taking into account the changes that occur over time to parents this review shows the fluidity of parenting styles and the stressors that cause those changes.
The place I decided to observe at was Watermark Community Church, where I work during the week at there weekly children's ministry care. The atmosphere they create is like that of a camp, instead of a typical daycare. The staff spend numerous amounts of time to create curriculum for the kids. The curriculum includes a bible story, a craft that goes along with the story, music/video time, coloring pages that continue on with the theme and of course games and recreational time. I enjoyed being able to just sit and observe some of the kids that I am usually teaching during the weeks. Getting to think through some of the questions and see what developmental features I had noticed before or which ones were new to me.
