In the statement, the author recommends that the interview-centered method is the best method to explore the child-rearing culture in Tertia island. To support her reasoning, the author cites that, on the one hand, according to Dr. Karp’s observation-centered approach study which happened 20 years ago in Tertia, the children there should be reared by the entire village. But, on the other hand, recently Dr. Field's get different result when his or her team use the interview-centered method in a group island that includes Tertia. Therefore, the author believes that Dr. Karp’s study and the observation-centered method must be wrong and the interview-centered method should be introduced into the future study. However, there are some logical problems in the author’s reasoning. …show more content…
However, the author proposes here an oversimplified causal relationship by carelessly or deliberately ignoring the fact that the interview-centered method is wrong and the observation-centered approach is actually right due to the potential bias. Chances are that the children who take the interview are actually those who reared by their own parents, or those interview questions are designed in a misguiding way that the response of those interviews favored to talk about the relationship between the kids and their family. Should it be the case, then the interview in this study should be no more than a simple conversation, and the author cannot justify her support with such an
- While children are influenced by many things, there are no stronger influences that that of their parents as they are usually their child’s first playmates and while the world expands with each passing year, parental influence is still one of the greatest factors in determining the ways in which a child will grow and develop.

2. Discuss how family systems are influential in child development processes and include challenges to meeting a child’s needs, such as conflicts and poor parenting practices.
Once a child is born and their development continues, then starts the controversy and wonder as to whether how the child is raised effects their outcome in adult hood, or whether they are just born to be a certain way. Child psychology looks into the many different factors that affect the pregnancy and raising a child. Such as, parenting styles, and how the environment (nurture) and the genetics (nature) play an important role in the child’s development.
Family dynamics can have a positive effect on child’s development because the child will feel settle and have a positive input into their lives and good support to help them develop and achieve what they want to achieve, this has a positive effect on their behaviour to. If family dynamics are negative then this have a negative affect on their developments such as divorce because the child may be spending time at different house and having one parent missing so they will feel unsettled and not able to concentrate on things. They may also experience missing one of their parents of relatives being in prison.
The underlying concepts in the article directly relate to family systems theory. Family systems theory states that all members of a family are reciprocal and impact on one another, all parts of the family change and the family works as a whole instead of a number of smaller sections (Missouri Department of Social Services, 2014). The concept of the interconnected nature of a family is highlighted in this article as it states that children will be impacted by the behaviour and experiences of the parents during early stages of
“Our central premise is that “family” is the most fundamental factor influencing the lives of children. Aside from children’s educational needs, they also need a
Socially and Emotionally the family is a big influence in a child’s development. Parents have a big role by providing care and guidance for their development. Unfortunately some families cannot promote the development of a child because of the conflict among the parents. A single parent can have difficulties in boosting a better development in children and young people, sometimes a child is separated from its siblings and this can affect them too.
Moreover, family environment will also influence children behaviour stealthly. Parents play an important role in children's growth process. Parents are model of children. Parents with good manner and habits may influence the children. Children may follow what their parents behave and develop it. For example, parents use to wash hand before eat, children will follow what they do. In contrast, parents used to talk in a impolite way, their children will also follow their impolite way to talk.
When you are asked what your daily essentials are, food must be one of your answers. We all know that food means a lot to people but have you ever thought about food from another perspective? Anderson’s readings investigate food from many other perspectives. According to Anderson, food represents our views, class, power, lifestyles and identities. These ideas are true and can be found among the Trobriand Islanders. In their society, life revolves around lineage and food because lineage controls all the food. In order to make the lineage system successful, people from Trobriand Island treat yams as their wealth, social status and political power. Connecting back to Anderson’s ideologies, the idea of food represents social class is reflected by the different treatment received by the Trobriand Islanders, Islanders’ urge to work represents the connection between food and political power, and the fact that lineage is more important than oneself indicates the idea of food is identity.
The family is always the first, most persistent, endless, persevering, and important educational setting for the development of the personality and intellect of children throughout their lives. In particular, parents are the ones who always have the method of adjusting their children in the most appropriate way. In contrast, children always listen to and place their belief in their parents almost absolutely. I have seen it. My friend son’s story happened in an English
The three parent child observations that have been documented will be analyzed using knowledge from class material and with peer-reviewed articles. Support will be given to show the connection between the articles, the class material, and to each observation. Each observation took place in a different location and each supporting article discusses how the actions of the parent and child relate to different aspects of a parent child relationship.
This paper will discuss how a child’s development is influenced by environmental and cultural influences as well as parenting styles and education. This will be argued through four topics including
Throughout history a one-parent household has been deemed as a nontraditional family, but in today’s society it seems more and more common with every day. Although the reason and causes vary, each year the number of children raised by a single parent increases. Most people don’t seem to realize how much this can change a child’s future. The impact of childhood experiences simply set the disposition of adulthood and the rest of their lives. There is not one sole factor that affects child development, but one very important one is the role and relationship created with one’s parents. How a child is parented and raised leaves a lasting impression on them, commonly for a
For as long as human families have existed, the core family group of a father, mother, and the children has been the ideal composition in what could be considered a balanced and fulfilling functional family. There had been many studies of the effects of having certain members of these groups on the family household present and absent. While there are many hypothesis of the effects of the children in the family in household with a missing parent, most of them are indeed negative and there had been studies that these can vary in many different aspects of a child’s upbringing. These effects will be discussed and functionality of the household family itself will be discussed to look at the issues
