Comparing Parenting Styles Analysis

In the memoir, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, the Walls family is considered homeless and they are constantly moving from place to place. They constantly find themselves either with a somewhat decent amount of money or at times, no money at all. Jeannette, being one of four children always follows along with and listens to her parents and eventually notices that their family does things very differently than most other families. As Jeannette explains her childhood and how she is being raised by her parents, it is clear to see how different Rex and Rosemary’s parenting style is compared to the parenting style of other parents. Since their parenting style is so different, it seems that it affects their children in a negative way throughout their childhood, but in the end it makes Jeannette become a better and more successful person.

Studying psychology has been for me an awakening due to the acquirement of much knowledge. Gaining this knowledge has helped me to refrain from making judgments lightly, but mostly to see human behavior from other perspective including criminal behavior. Instead of examining my life, I have decided to take a more challenging task by reflecting and examining the life of one of US history most notorious criminals: Theodore John Kaczynski (Ted Kaczynski) aka “The Unabomber”. From 1978 to 1996, Kaczynski spread terror throughout the country. As part of his anti-technological campaign, Kaczynski sent homemade explosive devices to many college campuses, airlines facilities, and people related to those. His attacks left three people dead and other twenty-three victims seriously injured (Winton & Scott, 2007). By any means I condone his behaviors; nevertheless, events occurred during his childhood could be the reasons of his actions.

There are four separate parenting styles which are utilized by parents raising children. They are authoritative, authoritarian, permissive-indulgent, and rejecting-neglecting. The authoritative style is a child-rearing style where parents are restrictive and demanding, yet communicative and warm. Authoritarian is a child-rearing style in which parents demand submission and obedience from the child. Permissive-indulgent is a child-rearing style where the parents are warm and not restrictive. The rejecting-neglecting style is a child-rearing style in which parents are neither restrictive and controlling nor supportive and responsive. The authoritative parents raise the most capable children. Authoritarian parents are cold and rejecting. Permissive-Indulgent parents are easygoing and unconventional. Rejecting-Neglecting are low in support and responsiveness and raise children with

The parenting style that is widely recognized as the “most effective and beneficial parenting style for normal children” is authoritative. This parenting style is demanding and responsive. The authoritative parenting style hold high expectations for their children while providing an understanding support (Hughes, 2013). An authoritative parent is one that remains in control and is both demanding and responsive with their children. They expect their children to hold a certain level of maturity. In this type of parenting style, the relationship between the parent and the child is very structured. The communication is very open between the two. The open communication allows the parent to provide a more understanding support. This way the child knows and understands, not only what their parents expect from them, but also the world around them. As

Whether they chose to spoil their children with love, objects, or opportunities, parents want to give their children the best childhood to prepare them for adulthood. Typically, the middle class and upper class use a parenting method Annette Lareau calls “concerted cultivation,” meaning that parents foster children’s talents and interests. Most parents that use this style of rearing follow similar routines such as maneuvering their schedules to alote multiple extracurricular activities, emphasizing the use of vocabulary and reasoning skills, and socializing their children to be comfortable around adults. While these practices seem to be successful in creating and maintaining class reproduction, they

The Morehead Honors Program opens many doors for the receivers. Several magnificent programs and internships are offered to students that are part of this wonderful program; these include an internship in Frankfort, an intensive summer research program for students interested in medicine or dentistry, a commitment to host a show on the campus television station for a year, and a year-long volunteering experience working with children in after-school programs. Honestly, the volunteering experience in after-school programs for children interests me enormously. Along with building onto my existing skills, I will develop new skills, grow as a person due to the experience, and face my fears and anxieties. I believe I would thoroughly enjoy that

My family consist of five people: my mother, father, sister, brother, and me. My dad works as a landscaper. My mom works at Ross dress for less, she works in taking out the merchandise from the boxes and putting them on the hangers, she has been working there for almost 10 years now. My parents immigrated here from Mexico to America a long time ago, before I was born, making them immigrants. My sister is 13 years old and my brother is 15. As for me, I am the oldest of my brother and sister, which means having to take up responsibility at a young age, and growing up early. Some of the responsibilities that i had to do was taking care of my brother and sister while my parents went to work, i’m the one who read all the important paperwork that would come in. I feel that even though i had to grow up early I received a little more trust when it came to going out with friends. Throughout my whole life I have only did one major move and it was from Concord to Antioch( not a huge distance), I moved when I was 6 or 7, and there wasn 't a lot to miss since I was at that stage where moving was the best part, also I barely to understood what was happening most of the time. I started 1st grade when I moved here to Antioch and the classes had already started so I was one of

God and church activities have been a part of my weekly routine for as long as I can remember. If it is nine o’clock on a Sunday morning, I will definitely be in a church pew at Highland Baptist Church. My parents make sure that I understand the importance of going to church and trying to exemplify the spirit of Christ daily. I have been given the amazing opportunity to be raised on Godly morals in a strong Christian household. Because of this, God has always been the center of my life, or at least that is what I thought. The idea of God stayed in the back of my mind, but I have recently learned that the back is not the position that God should hold in my life.

Should babysitters be certified? Well yes, because good certified babysitters deal quickly with medical emergencies,they get to know the kids to prevent injuries,and lastly there are safety risks for your child when hiring an uncertified babysitter.Babysitters for any child should always be certified for the safety of the babysitter and child.

The JL family is a family with young children. The adults are the caregivers to the young children. The addition of LD with prematurity needs, creates challenges for the JL and CD relationship. In addition, the relationship between CD and JL’s two older boys is very weak. JL stated she is unsure if CD is able to handle the additional responsibility of two older children who are quite energetic. CD is adjusting to his new job and shows stress discussing the “whistle blower” legal issue. CD relies on JL to show him how to cope and transition to parenthood.

In this paper, I will argue that intended parents, not gestational carriers, should have the right to decide whether the carrier continues to gestate a fetus or not in cases where the fetus has a severe, life-threatening physical or mental deficit (Cohen 2013). The gestational carrier, such as Crystal Kelley, gestates a fetus for a couple or potential parent and has no genetic tie to the child, unlike a surrogate (Byrn and Snyder 2005). In Crystal Kelley’s case, the intended couple wanted to abort the fetus because it had severe health defects such as holoprosencephaly and heterotaxy, in which the brain is not divided into two hemispheres and the internal organs are displaced (Cohen 2013). However, Ms. Kelley was unwilling to abort the fetus

Foster parent report before the visit: The youth had a good night. Alex played with a light that was given to him at the fire prevention event. The youth entered the vehicle asking a lot of questions. I notice Alex was comfortable asking a lot of questions, but does not like when people ask him questions. Alex and I had breakfast at Steak and Shake. I redirected the youth twice. Alex was blowing the paper from the straw onto the table and he was yawning without covering his mouth. After the redirection, Alex practiced good table manners. We went to the book store to practice social interactions and enjoy some books. I asked Alex to get two books to read and we would discuss each book. Then we saw the movie Hotel Transylvania 2 and discussed

Through his use of language features, particularly language choice and binary opposition, Tim Winton effectively reinforces a particular parenting style and intends to position the audience to support the relationship between Albie and his father. Winton uses sensory imagery to describe Albie’s interaction with his father, as well as emotive language. Albie is shown to be comforted by his father’s presence, as the “warmth of [his father] … beside him was enough,” effectively portraying a warm, familiar and loving relationship between the two. Winton’s diction is important in developing a strong personal response. I can easily visualise their relationship, which is key in eliciting a positive response to this parenting style. A key element in

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. This will also ensure that

Ceballo analyzed immigrant and U.S born parents using authoritarian parenting style to encourage academic success. She emphasized on the impact of parent’s commitment, facilitation of their child’s autonomy, non-verbal expression and access to supportive faculty, to academic success of a Latino student. Ceballos interviews U.S born Latinos/as who were from low-income families and who attending Yale University as the first in their family to get a college degree. Throughout these interviews she discovered that working-class parents viewed education as the primary source for social and economical mobility. Therefore they could not directly help with academic work but were more lenient on their parenting as long style as it benefited their education.
