Problems
The boundary of the Yakama Nation Reservation is considered home to different culturally diverse populations. Parenting skills and teaching can vary dramatically from each of those unique households. The diverse populations come with varying levels of what is considered appropriate child rearing practices. “Child abuse intakes are increasing due to families from Mexico coming here to the US and the standards are different” (Ruiz, 2015). Pilar Ruiz is a Social Worker at Children’s Administration assigned to the Child Protective Services. Families migrate to the area and they carry different perspectives on parenting and may not understand the expectations of Washington State and Child Abuse Laws. It is not only migrant families that need additional support. Families that have been here for many years have traditional practices that may cross the line when it comes to child abuse and neglect. These families that are located in this area need the additional support of increasing family bonds, healthy parenting, life skills, bonding, and reducing violence and substance abuse.
Macro & Personal Reality
Establishing positive parenting skills within the community will assist the parents in gaining new alternatives to their current practices. “Often we get the same families that are repeat offenders or they never really learn their ways of parenting are not acceptable” (Ruiz, 2015). Providing the “Strong Families” curriculum will reduce the number of children that are
Yakama (formerly spelled Yakima) self-named Waptailmim (People of the Narrow River), or Pakintlema (People of the Gap). The people of the Yakama tribe speak ‘Yakama’, which is a northwestern dialect of Sahaptin (a Sahaptian language of the Plateau Penutian family). Native speakers have argued about the traditional Yakama name for this language, ‘Ichishkíin Sínwit’. Currently the Tribal Cultural Resources program wants to replace the word Sahaptin, which means "stranger in the land". Nowadays Yakama is an ‘endangered language’ because most Yakama children aren't learning it anymore. Nonetheless, many Yakama people are working to try and keep their language alive. The Yakama used to live in the area along the Columbia, Yakima, and Wenatchee rivers, in what is now the south-central region of Washington state.
Raising a child is probably the most important thing a person will ever do in life. Yet we constantly hear stories of child abuse and neglect. What makes a good parent? Is it the money you earn? How about fancy schools? In liberal societies many people decide whether or not they wish to become parents. One of the key questions in making this decision is, what kind of parent will I be? Parenting skills range from excellent all the way to nonexistent. Do you think people with low parenting skills have the right to have children? This has been
Raising sons in single-parent households makes the mothers of Wes and Wes very influential on their children. Parenting can give minors a pathway to success or it can be a substantial risk factor for behavior issues: “Lack of parental involvement, poor monitoring and supervision, and harsh and inconsistent discipline, have all been established as strong predictors of antisocial outcomes in children and adolescents” (Hawes). While neither mother is able to adequately supervise their children due to their working statuses, Joy
Religion The Yakama believe that the Creator created the world and all its inhabitants. They believe that the Creator made laws that they must follow, and that he created the first man and the first women. Go to the Tribal Stories page to read the Yakama creation story.

Borders and boundaries are everywhere, they might be restrictions or precautions, but they are completely unavoidable wherever you travel and when you interact with anyone. Borders are a human means to satisfying the needs of groups and individuals, and because of this, boundaries are used by humans in all kinds of ways, including politically, socially, and culturally.
Over the years, as a society we are becoming increasingly aware of child abuse cases nationwide and throughout Arizona. Child abuse is one of the troubling issues amongst families that affect children starting from infancy of the child, in which 80% of children die from child abuse have never reached kindergarten (Kimpel, 2016). About 1 in 8 children in Arizona and 1 in 58 children through the US are currently victims of child abuse and are suffering year after year from the effects of physical, psychological and sexual abuse at the hands of their caretakers (Kawam, 2015). In Comparison to the US, studies found that in 2014 about 46,597 child abuse cases were investigated while 12,162 of those children were removed from their home, which has
The goal of healing homes is to develop and foster nurturing Hispanic adoptive and foster homes that responds to the cultural, emotional, and behavioral needs of at-risk Hispanic youths in the foster care system. Rooted in the belief that every child walks their own path and has the ability to reach full potential, Healing Homes focuses on a curriculum that teaches parents and caregivers how to be better listeners and supportive parents and enables children to improve. According to Dettlaf & Rycraft (2010), “immigrant Latino children and families represent the largest and fastest-growing population in the United States, and thus require the attention of child welfare systems and the development of evidence-based practices designed to respond to the unique needs of this population.”
Native Americans had lived in North America long before European settlers. They had free reign of its natural resources and beauty. However, as we all know, this changed. According to the Britannica article, “United States”, “The expansion of agricultural settlement crowded the Native Americans into reservations.” After being taking away from their land, they were forced into reservations. The government now provides benefits for them, but in the past years the government has failed to live up to that expectations. Sadly, reservations are now reportedly being the poorest communities in United States. No, the government should not manage Native American Reservations due to the history of mismanaging
Based on the findings from this study, fathers who went through the PPL non-custodial housing program reported improvement in their role as father after the program was over. The fathers also stated that the program helped them think about new and engaging activities that they could do with their children. Many of the fathers that participated expressed that they felt a sense of togetherness with other men who also lived in the housing program. They increased their sense of motivation to engage the role of parent through their self-described improvement in parenting knowledge, social support for the parenting role, a removal of institutional barriers, and attention to psychological
What we have learned from this policy analysis is that CAPTA has brought the issue of Child Abuse and Prevention to the forefront and has created a process and control around the issue. The policy has evolved from just issues of child abuse; but issues of neglect, nutrition and family causes. Several of those kids remained within the home and far away from their families attributable to being abuse, neglect, and abuse. CAPTA provides state-funded investigation and research to all claims and cases of child abuse. Child abuse and neglect affect kids of all cultures and socioeconomic standing, however, is incredibly prevailing at intervals families who are managing the financial condition. With each modification and reauthorization of CAPTA,
Prior to the conducting of the study, the research proposal was submitted and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at California State University, Fullerton. This research design was an experimental, longitudinal study that had sought to explain the effectiveness of the Level 4 intervention of the Positive Parenting program. This research had used a mixed method approach to collect its data. The Level 4 Intervention was given in a group session over the course of four weeks for twice a week. Each session was 60 minutes. The course was facilitated by two Certified Triple P educators. The sample technique for gathering the unit of study was based on an availability sample. It had drawn it’s participants from individuals that were
The Strict Father Method views the world as a complex and unfriendly place; however, competition is encouraged. Strict parents who love their family feel like they are doing injustice if they send their family out into the world, unprepared for all that it holds. Their children are taught to be tough and self- reliant. What’s good is what’s strong. The Nurture Method takes on an empathetic approach. Parents are open and honest with their children, two way discussions are vital in the act of raising and preparing children for whatever their future holds. Participants believe that society benefits from when people are willing to care for and support/ nurture others, just as their parents had done for
Parenting is a key factor in the advancement of society. It is used to train up the new generation to take over. Parenting has been tainted over the years. Parents have opted for a more compromising style of parenting which leads to compromised children, and compromised children are no good to the world.
Homes that shower children with guidance, love, attention, encouragement, and values found to be positive among the members of society are more likely to lead lives with favorable outcomes. Parents teach their children how to interact with others through the behavior that they exhibit, if you do not want your child to steal from a store, do not take your child with you while you steal from a store. If you do not want your child to make fun of someone with a disability, then do not make fun of someone with a disability. If you want your child to be respectful of others and to love their family unconditionally, then you must do the same. Being involved and creating a space of safety away from all the negative influences of the world is the best gift you can offer a child in a world where delinquency lurks around every
