1. Do you think that human beings are inherently born to be parents? This is a question that is not clearly answered in a black or white, this is a time when the shade of gray comes into play. I believe that many individuals are truly born with the natural ability and need to be parents that were impacted by the way they may have been raised themselves or certain aspects of their upbringing. Some just naturally have that motherly or fatherly instincts to protect and nurture, that does not mean that all of these individuals should be parents or even are able to be parents, yet they possess this gift. Some people just don’t seem to have the knack or need to nurture which does not make them flawed it’s just who they are. I have met a few people over the years that are parents and I just understand why they ever had kids, in fact, they can’t stand their kids. This would have been a good time to have used birth control for these individuals instead creating human beings that you as the parent don’t even like. I know that sounds harsh and I do not mean for that to be, but some people think parenting is one way and are shocked when they find out the reality of being a parent.
I felt after reading the articles that attending classes to get a feel for what really parenting entails was a great idea and wish more individuals were aware of them before moving forward in a serious relationship. I think the divorce rate would drop as well due to the awareness of reality that would be received from take the classes. While dating someone and things begin to get serious I think it’s extremely imperative that couples discuss their beliefs and values and expectations of the relationship and their feelings on children and how they should be r...

My daughter was twenty one when she got married and they waited till she was twenty five to start a family and found out that it was not easy for her to get pregnant in fact she was not able to. They tried many costly procedures over the years and they felt very defeated in their efforts. My daughter Jessica was born to be a mom, from the day her younger brother was born she mothered him like her own, in fact, they are so close to this day because of it. There was no better mother to be than her yet she was unable to get pregnant. They were going to try one last procedure then they were going to give up and the doctor told them they had a one in ten chance this last time. Well the time had come and thankfully she conceived what now my two year old grandson, Isaiah! What a blessing and miracle he is. She is the best mom ever hopefully in time they will have more.
The argument that parenthood is natural, instinctual, and predates civilized society (and can continue to exist outside of civilized society) seems odd in light of the plethora of books, websites, groups, and so on devoted to helping parents learn to be good parents. All our self-help materials dedicated to this topic seem to suggest that parenting is not purely instinctual, but that education is also required. (Campo-Engelstein)
The reason for writing this topic is to increase the understanding of the one child policy implemented in china. This report gives specific statistics, case study and information about the one child policy in China and about the abuse of women by the government for having too many babies. The report provides an analysis and evaluation of the one child policy’s pros and cons. If the one child policy had not been introduced, there would have been a dramatic increase in population. On the other hand, this policy has caused a lot of pain to the family members.
With the increase of divorce and the number of children being born out of wedlock, parental alienation continues to grow. With custody laws changing, allowing for equal opportunities for both parents to raise their children, and fathers beginning to fight for their right to be involved, not just every other weekend fathers, custody battles have become increasingly fierce. Another factor contributing to this is the fact that many courts consider who will be more willing to encourage the child to have a heathly and continuing relationship with the other parent.
Parenting isn’t easy. It’s a fact of life. Society offers many different types of approaches to childbearing. Some specific ways include an authoritative style, a neglectful style, a permissive style, the list goes on and on. However, as a parent, it’s often hard to tell hard to which method is the most effective and beneficial to a child. Nowadays and more than ever, people are finding that some parents may perhaps be getting too involved. The overprotective and controlling parenting style that many today are turning to, though it may seem harmless, has many negative impacts that affect a child’s life.
There are many ways that a child can grow up healthy, they could eat right the parents have a genetic code that allows the child to be a healthy baby. But these are some factors that shows that a child is healthy. But what needs to know is there are others ways that a child can be healthy and unhealthy. When discussing on how a child is healthy we are looking at the family system and how that affects the way the baby learns and acts in a society. Having a child that is brought up with a healthy family system can result in your child having a healthy development.
For most people, becoming a parent is one of the greatest moments in their lives. I never understood the true meaning of love until I became a father. Little did I know; I would also learn the tragedy of loss.
Mothers go through all sorts of stress. While parenting can be overwhelmingly stressful, it’s important to consider the possible implications of our actions and how our responses to situations can affect how our children feel physically and mentally. Recent research (2014) has investigated some aspects of how a mother’s physical response to a stressful situation could effect her infant. Knowing that infants can indirectly pick up a mother’s personal reaction can keep a mother aware of her actions and ultimately provide better care for the infant.
We were trying for a child and I continually had to thank God for his goodness. There was a period of 18 months trying for a child, and I almost gave up, but yet I choose to get up every morning and thank God for my child who was not yet conceived. I continued to worship God through all disciplines the best that I could. On the 19th April this year I gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby girl.
When she was sixteen, my mother met and got pregnant by a boy that she attended school with. Ashamed and spiritually broken she gave into to her parents pleading to have an abortion.
Every parent has different skills that they use when dealing with their child. Growing up I had two parents with completely different techniques on how to handle situations with me. Both of my parents love me unconditionally, and would give me the entire world if they could. For every parent, teaching lessons and earning respect is a very important aspect to them. Each of my parents love me so much, but both have very different ways of showing affection, discipline, and communication.
Parenting styles have the capacity of influencing a child’s social, cognitive, and psychological growth, which would then affect the child both in their childhood years, and as an adult.
Battling a miscarriage a couple years prior, my mother was feeling mixed emotions. Around this time, I was a senior in high school so the news was neutral for me being that I was the only child for eighteen years. I did not know if I should rejoice or complain because I was leaving for college soon. My brother was born about two weeks before my high school graduation, and I must say that it was a very intense and complicated birth being that my mother was nearly forty giving birth to her second child.
In this paper I am going to critically discuss how parental involvement in children's education does make a positive difference to pupils' achievement. I will be using research in differing trustworthy media such as literature, journals and government documents to strengthen my discussion.
This assignment was quite interesting as I had a chance to sit down and actually talk with my parents about their specific views and attitudes on several topics. The values that I believe in play a very important role in my life. These important values have been greatly influences by my family. Our parents are the ones who first instilled values into us. As I grew up, where we loving our friends and life experiences helped us refine our own values.
Parenting carries love, moral values, life skills, knowledge, traditional and so on to their children all the time. Most of the children practice the moral values, knowledge, and tradition which taught by their parents. In this way, most of them follow and believe in their parents’ word. Basically, children world views and mind were deeply shaped by their parents. Most of the children exercise what their parents practice. Children learn to make sense of what is going on around them by interact with their parents and surroundings. Through the “eyes” of their parents, they learn to see, think, question and look for answer which can satisfy them. If children were raised in a good or positive way, there is a very great probability that our society would be better off. Hence, from my point of view, parenting should be a privilege for a better future not only for the children it own but also our society.
