Common Sense Parenting Analysis

Improved Essays
As a whole, the parenting process has created a ripple effect for a multitude of information. Throughout the conversations, readings, and papers a slew of opinions and professions have been presented upon. This not only assisted in my writing skills and construction but also the future of myself as a parent. One of the primary elements that I have changed this semester is my writing. A key aspect that challenged my writing was the outline I needed to complete for the final paper. Usually, I absolutely do not like outlines. For most of my time writing in life, I have heard to do outlines and how beneficial they are. However, I felt as if they were a waste of time to compile instead of working on the full paper. Now, I have a better appreciation …show more content…
While parenting techniques were important, I am already aware of what sort of parent I will be. However, because I know I tend to focus more on “being nice”, discipline is a tough subject for me to think about. In all actuality though, the Common Sense Parenting book greatly reassured me in some clear-cut methods for dealing with a variety of problems one encounters over a lifetime of parenting. The steps for staying calm and self-control reassure me that even if my child is upset, there are still ways to learn from those …show more content…
This is something that my older sister has done and as I have gotten older, have thought more about doing. While I might not do this for the birth of my first child, I am seriously considering it. Having various woman talk about their profession and watching the business of being born helped reassure me that this could be a viable option. As long as the pregnancy is low-risk, it is sometimes safer than hospital births. In addition, there is more flexibility in types of birth (water bath, birthing chair). Having that personal connection with a midwife when bringing your child into the world would be a comfort in the whole

They use reasoning or manipulation to get what they want but they avoid using evident power (Dewar, 2010). Parents that exercise the Permissive style are indulgent and passive and believe that the way to demonstrate love is to give into their children’s wishes. They invoke phrases such as, “sure, you can stay up late if you want to,” and “you do not need to do any chores if you don’t feel like it.”…

    As I have grown older I have gained a greater appreciation for my own mother and commend her for raising three very confident and self-sufficient women. However, the confidence my own parents instilled is sometimes the thing that makes it difficult for me to be able to put myself in others shoes. As I read the excerpt, “What Should You Say When Your Child Tells You Someone Is Being Mean to Them?” I realized that the advice I have always given the same advice that always worked for me, does not help every situation. This book continues to be eye opening and at times a hard pill to swallow.…

    Not only does it seem hazardous, but the risks seem to outweigh the benefits. Sadly, most people do not understand why any parent or couple would choose to limit the newborn’s access to technology in case of an unexpected emergency. To be clear, the film does not promote the use of home birth; it simply emphasizes that parents need to be well-informed of their options and given the chance to make an educated decision.

    Although many children rebel against the rules their parents introduce, children actually desire and need structure in their lives. Rules and boundaries prepare them for adulthood, and create meaning in their lives. However, too many rules can have adverse effects on not only a parent's relationship with their child, but also on the child's relationship with themselves, and the world. While rules and discipline are necessary for providing structure in a child's life, parents should only exercise a moderate amount of control over their children, for the child's sake as well as their own. Parents who have the proper amount of control over their children also bolster their child's mental health.…

    When a woman becomes pregnant it is essential for her to start thinking about where and how her baby will be delivered. The sterile and presumably safe location of a hospital is the most common option women choose for their delivery. Many women also choose to give birth in the comfortable and relaxing environment of their own home. However, a growing number of women choose to give birth in a birthing center which provides professional assistance while still providing many of the comforts of home. Pregnant women should give birth in a birthing center because they offer a relaxed home-like environment, a variety of birthing options, and a supportive medically trained staff.…
