Recommended: Importance of good parenting

For the past four years I have realized that I am passionate about the lives of our children. I have learned the importance of educating people during infancy and adolescence. When we are young we are like a sponge; people feed us information and we observe their behavior and we soak that information and those behaviors in. The information we learn during our childhood is what helps build us into the person we will be as adults. Children who live in a home with a happy family are fortunate enough to have a higher possibility of success rather than someone who does not have a roof over their heads, living in a violent environment, has no parents/guardians, living in poverty, etc. There is a lack of attention in the system to try to prevent incidents

  • Personal Narrative: My Personal Goals

    619 Words  | 2 Pages

    It's hard for me to say where I'll be in the years to come, already my life has strayed from the path I once thought it would follow. However, that doesn't change my motivation or determination to reach and excel at my personal goals. My whole life I've endured a system that dictated what should be important to me, and while it's helped me learn the practical skills I need outside of an academic setting, I have a passion to grow further from what's expected of me, and so with much enthusiasm I look forward to attending college in which I hope to achieve more by constantly learning and expanding my personal knowledge.

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Child Welfare System

    1317 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is true that sometimes the Child Welfare system lets its children down and ends up raising offenders. However, that is not to say that what they do is simply or even mostly a failure, I am merely attempting to turn random stars into constellations. There are great changes that are made in this system. I have witnessed cases progress from being supervised visits to becoming monitored visits. I have seen mothers taking home their babies and children returning home because the parents have met their return conditions. I have seen parents who were hopeless drug addicts reach milestones by staying clean. I have heard cases of mothers who were repeat domestic violence victims set limits to their ex-abusers and seen a father learn how to hold a

  • Child Abuse and Neglect

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    Our children are our future and their health and welfare should be one of our top priorities. Research has confirmed what anyone with common sense already knows: Children, who are fed, do better than those who are hungry. Money spent for child care and education services pay off in the long run and are less likely to be spent on special education and the criminal justice system. There is evidence that hitting children, corporal punishment, which is now illegal in many countries, can contribute to behavioral problems, encourages children to act violently, and can even lower intelligence. We also know that people with insurance stay healthier than those without, and that healthy children do better than sick children (Leon Hoffman, 2011).

With society, adults, educators, schools, and children taking part in the prevention of child abuse and its criminal consequences, it is possible to achieve a long-term solution. We need to make the invisible world of child abuse and its dangerous aftereffects visible. We must emphasize that with dedication and effort, the utter elimination of abuse, maltreatment, and neglect towards our children is absolutely possible. The greatest contribution America can make in breaking the cycle of crime and solving the problems we created ourselves is to face them head on, reverse the trends that have our society and its children heading the wrong way, and not hurt, but nurture and cherish the spirit of our future.

  • Persuasive Essay About Child Abuse

    1733 Words  | 4 Pages

    Could you imagine how children must feel when they are abused by someone that is supposed to love and protect them, and nothing is done to help them? For this reason, it is important to realize there are legislative laws protecting child abusers from hate crimes, and excuses certain people from mandated reporting abuse. In fact, almost five children die every day as a result of abuse. Also, money is spent to convict and imprison child abusers which could be put towards programs that help people to recognize and prevent abuse. Children are the future; therefore, it is important for them to grow up in an environment they can thrive, feel safe and free from harm. After all, as the old saying “It takes a village to raise a child” stands true to this day. Now is the time for everyone to put forth the extra effort to create ways to bring child abuse, a growing epidemic to an end. As responsible citizens it is the duty to report when child abuse is suspected, create laws that

  • Reflection About Child Abuse

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Denver, Colorado a couple had absolutely neglected to parent their children. With feces piled high, trash spread throughout the house, and communication occurring through grunts and gestures, these parents needed a reality check. Not all parents choose to take parenting classes, in their case, they were assigned to. I believe all parents should take one, because not everyone is prepared for children. When one of their sons needed to go to the doctors for a cut he got on his head, the doctors were surprised to see a bruise on his ear and he reeked the smell of cigarettes. A cop and human services worker were sent out to their house and discovered the horrible environment. I am glad that from taking this class I was able to learn more about mandated reporters and their duties. Before, I never knew that a doctor could be the one to see all of this happening and be the one to bring others attention to the
