Authoritative Parenting Style

Many would believe children learn and develop best when the ‘key worker’ system is implemented within a provision and when practitioners sustain a positive relationship and work in partnership with parents and carers. This is of importance as a positive relationship where the parents and carers can trust and respect one another, helps to provide an enabling environment for the children. Working in partnership benefits practitioners just as equally as it benefits parents. Parents and carers are the most important people and role models within children lives, however majority of parents have no choice but to work and that’s where our role of early years’ practitioners falls into place. Is it important to remember that parents and practitioners

These parents might have high expectation on children, but they will give appropriate support to them and praise them in response to good result. In addition, some experts mentioned that people perform better from positive comments rather than negative (Schmittmann et al 2006; van Duijvenvoorde et al

Studies have also shown that adult connection with and caring for children and youth was consistent with positive outcomes among them (Scales et al, 2001). These outcomes included higher self-esteem, greater engagement with school and higher academic achievement, lessened delinquency, lessened substance abuse, better mental health, and better social skills (Scales et al, 2001). It takes a village because

Researchers found during the study that adolescents with authoritative parents are more independent, more curious, and more responsible. Steinburg states “Parenting that is indifferent, neglectful, hostile, or abusive has harmful effects on adolescents’ mental health and development, leading to depression and a variety of behavior problems” (Steinburg 107). In the research, they found that adolescents with authoritative parents are more likely to have depression, which would make some sense because this type of parenting style is suppose to be warm but

Similarly, if possible, a transition should be thoughtfully planned and organised so that the child will receive the appropriate amount of support and are able to do it at their own pace. 2 Furthermore, during transitions the key person has a vital role in supporting children and families. For example, if a new child is starting at nursery they may decide to give them and their family a home visit, where they may: give them photos of the practitioners and the nursery; give them a general introduction (including contact numbers and opening times);

However, if children don’t feel safe in the nursery then they will lack confidence. Likewise, if the nursery doesn’t welcome diversity then families may feel excluded and less willing to chat about their child’s development, which may consequently hinder their development. Furthermore, early years practitioners should aim to have a secure partnership with the parents so that there is a connection between nursery and home life, which will consequently benefit the child. Nurseries can promote parent participation through: noticeboards, regular conversations, websites, frequent newsletters and meetings. If there is a good partnership then the child’s learning and development will be

*Positive parenting can be more beneficial to a child than negative parenting because it gives the child the attention when positive things are done and negative parenting gains attention from the child when negative things are being done. I think positive parenting is more effective because the child can benefit more from doing what is right. 2. Do you think children should have more rules or fewer rules in the home? Support your decision.

They grow up in a family that you lovingly and selflessly chose for them. Other advantages include having committed parents and a stable home, they have opportunities and resources that you may not have been able to provide for them at your stage in life.Studies show that adopted children have greater health, more one-on-one attention from a parent, are more involved in extracurricular activities, and are as well-adjusted as their peers Overall, adoption can be very beneficial to the mother, the family, and the child in many ways. Now, there are many interesting facts and statistics about adoption and you know know more about the history and some of the many benefits of adoption but, there's still one more question. What about interracial adoption? Well, the United states citizens completed 19,942 international adoptions in 2007, which went down to 9,319 in 2011 as international adoptions became more restrictive.Thirty-seven percent of adopted children are non-Hispanic white, compared with adoptive parents, 73% of which are non-Hispanic white.

Introduction In thinking about all schooling you have experienced, where would you consider to be the most informative, influential and, above all else, the most fun? Today, putting your child into a daycare center will not only provide your child with beginning interpersonal skills, but the capabilities to adventure and explore the world around them. The other side of the coin in this instance is having the child at home with their parents. In doing this, the child will be able to build a bond with their parental figures that ensures a connection for the span of their lives. This also allows for the family bond to grow stronger in the sense of being present for most if not all of the child’s growing milestones.

Throughout this essay I will look at how the Montessori Method prepares the child holistically for their future through use of the methodology: cosmic education, the use of the prepared environment and the huge promotion of independence. I will also discuss how they prepare the child physically, intellectually, linguistically morally, emotionally and socially as well as to be a confident, self-motivated global citizen, in secondary school and beyond. “The goal of Cosmic Education is to guide the child toward an initial examination of the question, who am I?” (Duffy & Duffy, 2002) Cosmic Education is the methodology used to help the child
