This essay will examine key research of attachment theories, parenting styles and emotional needs of children and how parents and carers support that. Attachment theory is the basis of building relationships with your care givers and people around you. I will be describing how attachment theory relates with the emotional needs of the children and how parenting can influence this. Children either develop a secure or an unsecure attachment with their caregiver, either plays a huge part in their children’s emotional development. It needs to be explained throughout this essay what it is that parents and carers can do to provide secure attachments with our children, and support their children’s emotional needs.
The mothers provided detailed accounts of the child’s behavior (progress at school, peer adjustment, relationships in the family) and how she responded to such conduct. The interviews with the children consisted of the Child and Adolescent Functioning and Environment Schedule (CAFE), which is a standardized interview and assessment. The questionnaires were the Expression of Affection Inventory and the Conflict Tactics Scale. Within these responses from mother and child, the researchers paid close attention to the the mother’s warmth, sensitivity and control with the child and the child’s perceptions of these maternal qualities. The results were then rated according to a standardized coding scheme and multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVAs) were used once significance group differences were determined. These specifically addressed father-absent vs. father-present and lesbian vs. single heterosexual mothers.
“O’Connor et. al. (2003) found that children adopted after early experiences in Romanian institutions were more likely than non-institutionalized children to show disinhibited attachment behaviours such as behaving in an indiscriminately friendly manner, treating strangers as if they were attachment figures, and failing to check back in with parents in anxiety-provoking situations. Thus, disorganized social behaviour is seen in children following adverse experiences that could predispose to personality
51 participants - some of which were undergraduate students attending Concordia College, currently enrolled in an introductory psychology course - completed an online questionnaire that measured both extraversion and conscientiousness. They rated these two traits in both themselves and their oldest or youngest sibling, depending on which they identify as. Youngest children rated the firstborns in their family, and firstborns rated the last borns. Our participants needed to either be the firstborn or the last born in order for us to eliminate as much error as possible. Our participants were either students from ages 18-22 or adults no older than 50, and we surveyed both males and females.
Though when reaching the 6 year mark it improves drastically for coping efficacy and active coping. During the study they came to a realization that the relations among parenting and coping did not differ when it came down to the children’s gender or by their baseline risk status. In my opinion I would definitely have to agree with the study as I come from divorced parents and my mother was a single parent for a couple of years when I turned 6 years old. My mother had a high quality relationship with me and I feel like due to this relationship it helped me more secure when facing stressful events. I believe that this has helped me in my adulthood when I am faced with a stressful situation, because I am able to cope and handle it
It is necessary to differentiate between anxious parenting styles and parental anxiety because these factors were examined in several studies, regardless of an actual diagnosis. The traits that are considered as anxiety promoting include over-control, overprotection, and rejection. Over-control and overprotection are similar as they both deal with a child's independence, however the two manifest separately. Over-control is about psychological autonomy, concerning how parents may exert control over the child's emotional experiences. Overprotection is behavioral, in which the parents have control concerning the child's actions. Rejection is an umbrella term looking at three main emotional factors: approval versus criticism, emotional displays, and social support (Wei & Kendall, 2014) (Festa & Ginsburg, 2011) (Brudinger, Drazdowski, & Ginsburg,
When the total stress score of an individual falls above the 90th percentile, parents are considered to be at-risk and referral for intervention is recommended. Scores on the Parent and Child Domain scores are then interpreted to clarify the issues that should be addressed during intervention. When the Parent Domain score is elevated above the 90th percentile and the Child Domain score is not, dysfunctional parental attitudes and struggles with parenting skills are considered to be the target of intervention. When Child Domain scores are elevated and the Parent Domain is not, the pattern reflects a difficult child and parents are presumed to be in need of support and training in parenting skills tailored to match that child's difficult temperament or current behavioral
the traditional gender attitude of parents is the main determinants on youth gender attitude. In
Parental involvement in education is a vital essential for creating a cooperative environment for the student to thrive and succeed in. When a student knows that he or she is receiving support both inside and outside the school, the chances of that child becoming responsible for and active in their education are more likely. I know that there can be difficulties including parents for many reasons. Such parents may be too busy, uninterested or just feel helpless. However, as an educator, I will still have an obligation to reach out to these parents and assist them.
Frank Perderson and his colleagues in 1977 conducted research on what the link was between spouse relationship and parent-infant relationship. “Perderson and his colleagues believed that the three units of interaction (mother-father, mother-child, father-child) are interrelated” (according to Perderson 1977). This showed that when the wife and husband showed positive interaction towards each other (smiling and affection) they then would show their infant affection. When there was negative interaction between the wife and husband (verbal critic and blame) it was strongly linked to negative affection shown to the infant by the father.
i) Gender; the gender of the parent is the most widely reported determinant of parent`s willingness to invest on children. This is mentioned across disciplines, from biology through social anthropology, with similar conclusions but different explanations. There is consensus that the gender identity of the parent through which income is received determines how the resources are invested on child welfare. Studies (Agarwal, 1997; Kabeer, 2000) indicated that income injected into the household through the mother do more justice to the welfare of children compared to resources injected through the father. Similarly, an exogenous increase in mothers income has a larger effect on children`s outcomes than
