Slow parenting

Parents and caregivers have a great deal of influence on their children and their behaviours. Based on their parenting techniques, the amount of trust between said child and parent, and the attitudes they portray in day to day life, children will act accordingly. These lessons and teachings are carried over into adulthood, influencing how they act in society, and how they will in tern act with their own children. Some parents are too involved in their child’s life, causing them to “push away” by…

Shame and Stigma: Some of the parents reported shame at producing a less than perfect child, others felt guilt at not protecting their child from suffering. Most of the parents feared how other parents would react to them, their children and their parenting skills. One of the mothers said, ‘I would usually not take my son to the park.

There are many different kinds of people in the world due to how their parents bring them up. Parents often try to do their best when they have a child but there can be slip ups, or just flat out mistakes. Sometimes parents will believe that they are raising a good child, when actually they are just going along with the flow of society, which is not always a good thing. In Jodi Picoult’s The Storyteller, one main character is Reiner Hartmann, who was part of the Nazi party, during World War…

everyday life is based on misbehaviour, conflicts, abuse, then it’s dysfunctional. Although the reasons for this are quite obvious, it is almost impossible to find a sollution. For a start, the main reason why dysfunctional families exist is unhealthy parenting habits. Imagine a family where the child is, for example, always compared to others or criticised. Or where the child has an unhealthy fear of getting beaten up or punished for almost every action. It’s hard to imagine that these…

Co-parenting is often seen in an image of both parents sharing the responsibilities, both in the workplace and at home, equally. But the idea that is co-parenting is one that many couples hope to achieve once they’re married, mostly get shattered as they soon realize that it’s much more difficult to obtain then they had imagined. Both “The Myth of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed to be. How It Was,” by Hope Edelman, and “My Problem With Her Anger,” by Eric Bartels address the stereotypical…

Discussion 1: Moral Development Theory and Bullying Children start from the early to “self-regulate” their characters when raised by parents that impact an honest lifestyle in their lives by also, consistently rewarding them when they portrayed good character and punished them when they misbehaved. However, when children exposed to a pattern of morally acceptable character and not trained up among the group of liars or cheaters that will enable those well-developed self-regulatory mechanisms to…

Leslie Garrett’s article, “You Can Do It, Baby!,” conveys that parents and teachers are working against children when it comes to their futures. The article concentrates on the premise that our parents tell us that ‘We can be anything we want to be.’ It is told from the view of twelve-year-old Gwenyth and her reaction to be told that she can be anything when in reality she can’t. The author believes that we are causing more long-term negative effects on our children by telling them that they can…

The wellbeing of a family is usually the responsibility of the man in the family, although this is not always the case. Many times a family finds itself in a plight when there is a risk that the father working might lose his job, or the possibility of losing the closeness of a family. Additionally, it is sometimes common that the woman in the family will choose to work as well, so to have extra money if need be. This however, is not the best idea for the family as it can make a situation worse…

intensely academics-focused tiger parents, or maybe, like Jeannette Walls describes in her bestselling memoir The Glass Castle, they border on destruction with their free-spirited nonchalance about what it means to be a parent. The very essence of parenting can typically be summed up in archetypes consisting of people, with their own natural priorities, making decisions they think will best benefit their children in the long run. Through careful surveillance, monetary funds for their futures,…
