Reflection Paper 8 – Arkangel

How can parents encourage their child’s social and emotional development?
The ideal way for parents to encourage theirs child’s development both socially and emotionally is to allow them to experience the world as it is. Allow them to make mistakes and learn instead of protecting them to the point where they are unable to. Creating an environment for children’s development is different however, taking them to the park to socialize with other children is forcing them to do anything but it can promote social development.

Helicopter parents are those who choose to overly protect their children. It can sometimes be to the point where it begins to negatively effect the child.

Parents may want to protect their kids from experiencing the same things they did but in fact it is often those experiences during our developing stages that shape us the most.

    When a man or a woman is transformed into a parent, they take many responsibilities upon themselves. These responsibilities are essential in raising physically and mentally healthy children. The given promises a parent must follow through on when raising a child encompass the fundamentals like: feeding, clothing, and housing a child.

    In the final section of the article, Richarz appeals to the emotion of fear by entitling the section “A generation of anxiety-ridden children”. This appeals to fear because “anxiety-ridden” is a phrase that has a negative meaning and would incite a sense of fear, especially when describing a generation of children. Furthermore, in this section Allan Richarz describes children with phrases such as “fearful of their own shadow”, that something “deprives children of important learning experiences”, “helplessness” and “smothered and fearful.” These are all phrases that have a negative meaning and things that no parent ever wants for their child. Finally, in the concluding sentence and title, Allan Richarz incites fear through describing childhood as a “terrifying and life-threatening condition”.

    Child development is an area of significant interest to professionals who deal with children on a daily basis. It is through child development theorists and their theories that we begin to form an understanding of how children develop emotionally and socially to become fully grown adults in society with a moral and emotional compass/. Teachers need to study child development in order to provide developmentally appropriate educational experiences for children.

This pattern develops the personality of the child.
