I babysit for two families who are very similar, yet very different. While both families live in the same neighborhood, on the same river, on the same street, and pay babysitters generously, the parents ' expectations and parenting styles differ dramatically. One set of parents allows their boys to go off and play without my constant supervision. The other parents expect me to remain directly involved with their son the entire time. There are differences in their parenting styles, their time management, and the expectations they have of the babysitter. I 've known the Anderson family for a few years, having met them at church, and I babysat their boys often during the summer. The parents are easygoing in their parenting style. I 'm allowed to be on my phone or watch TV, eat their food, and even invite a friend over while I 'm babysitting. The boys are so independent, it 's like I 'm not even needed. The younger boy is often somewhere in the neighborhood playing with …show more content…
The Barrons are wonderful parents, but they are much more protective and expect me to stay directly involved with their son while I 'm babysitting. I was told not to use my phone all the time because I should be focused on the boy. In addition, his mother told me that wherever Brock goes, I go. He is not allowed to roam the neighborhood alone, so I hop on a bike and go with him from house to house, following him like a shadow. When I first met him, it felt awkward to stick that close, but now that I 've gotten to know the neighbor boys, it 's not so bad, and it forces me to stay active. Timing is another issue on which the two families differ. The Barrons hired me to babysit from 3:00-6:00 pm Monday through Thursday. I pick up Brock from school, make sure he does his homework and practices the trumpet, and then supervise him while he plays for the next hour and a half. His mother arrives home promptly at 6:00, which allows me to have dinner with my family and get my homework done at a
When I began preschool, our teacher allowed all the parents to come in to make sure we all felt at ease. I wish David would have had the same treatment. By him telling us of his early year experience, this lets us know he is not excited about
We basically become the children’s parents for three days and nights as they stay at The Way Summer Camp with us. This means that our needs become second to the kids that we are put in charge of during the camp, and I learned so much from my children and the other
Her services can be, in a simpler form, paralleled to that of a day care or babysitting service. The child would be temporarily placed in someone else’s care, in a different environment, and later returned to the child’s
Alex had always been a talkative person, he would always introduce himself when in situations with the slightest bit of unknowing, and he always kept a smile on his face to show everyone that everything in the world is sound. His smile made me think everything was alright, his smile gave himself hope, his smile gave me hope. We live in Flemington, New Jersey: which is refered to everyone in our high school as “The 908”. “The 908” is the area code for northern New Jersey, even though most people in Flemington considered themselves central Jersey.
I,Malayah Marie Miller(I got my middle name from my grandma) I was born on February 5th 2004, at Bronson Hospital in Battle Creek. I’m 11 years old. I love to dance, and I also love my family.
For the past two years, I have volunteered to babysit my cousins and neighbors. These experiences have greatly assisted in the development of the skills I now hold. The greatest skill I have obtained is responsibility. When I babysit, I am responsible for the life or lives of children that don’t know right from wrong. If anything goes wrong, I am held responsible.
When an authoritarian parent takes control, it often times leads to a dysfunctional family, where conflicts arise and children gain the urge to rebel for various reasons. In Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer describes Chris McCandless as an intelligent 24-year-old graduate student who loved exploring the outdoors. One day Chris decided to hitchhike to Alaska, hoping to find a new life for himself. However, after years of experiencing a traumatic childhood, we find out that the main reason Chris hitchhiked to Alaska was to sever ties with his parents because of his father’s secret affair. Understanding the dynamics of family can help us understand how different parenting styles can affect how a child grows

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.
In the book The Glass Castle Jeannette Walls, the narrator displays her parent's parenting skills as authoritative. According to Cherry, Kendra. “Psychology: What They Are and Why They Matter.” The Four Styles of Parenting. she defines authoritative parents as being “... more nurturing and forgiving rather than punishment”.

The time in the morning allows JL to tend to herself and LD as needed. LD remains in a bassinet in JL’s room. During the weekdays the two older boys go to daycare at 7:30am. The consistency of the daycare routine minimized the boy’s separation anxiety of not having JL with them for 12
In the same chapter as previously mentioned, the parents had two younger children who openly showed their contempt for being forced to watch their brother’s activities by complaining to their parents (54). Because the oldest child’s schedule took the highest priority in the family, all the the children felt like the eldest was
It can be argued that each method of daycare has its own pros and cons from a universal standpoint as well as from the multiple standpoints stemming from different cultures. We can interpret this information as a means to acquire more knowledge about the separate “correct” ways children are raised as per their respective nations. With that aside, there is still much to learn about this topic, whether it is through a socio-cultural perspective or otherwise; discovering and honing the most efficacious method of childcare certainly has a myriad of
