Recommended: Importance of good parent teen relationship

Sam Mercado lives like any other high school student, but acquires an appreciation and enjoyment that many lack. When asked what he was most thankful for, he answers with the life that his parents provide him and all the opportunities he receives. Continuing on, he says that he plans to be a strict parent, which showed me that he understands the important role of parents in a child’s life. Although he retains respect for his own parents, he points out that he wouldn’t stop being with someone if his parents disliked that partner. This indicates that he also contains a deference for others and trusts his own judgment. In addition to respecting others, he also enjoys spending time with his friends and prefers to be around others when he’s

  • Applying the Sociological Imagination to Sole-parent Familes

    1346 Words  | 3 Pages

    Families are becoming more diverse and they come in all shapes and sizes. Some people consider families to be strictly biological, while others consider people they love to be their family. Although two-parent families, also known as a nuclear family are the majority, one-parent families are becoming more common in today’s society. A sole-parent is considered to be a parent without a partner or spouse who is the primary care giver of one or more children in a household (Ministry of Social Development, 2010). From the age of 14 onward I was raised by m...

  • Analysis Of Isla By Virgil Suarez

    457 Words  | 1 Pages

    In reviewing the poem Isla, written in 2000, by Virgil Suarez, I can say that this is the first poem I have reviewed for this class with which I can honestly relate. The fact that the poem was written during a time period when I was living is great. Additionally, the images that the author brings to light are from items that I have seen with my own two eyes. With that said, I do not need to use my imagination to see and, for me, that is a disappointment. What is more, before this course I hated poetry and never read it. Now I feel that I have a better understanding of what and how to read this literature. I have become a fan of poetry. (Not a big fan, but average.)

  • Meridel Le Sueur Analysis

    604 Words  | 2 Pages

    The document is written by Meridel Le Sueur about her personal feelings about the female aspects of the “Great Depression.” When discussing the “March” she clearly stated that there were many women who felt the same as she did about marching with strikers about industrial jobs. The feeling Meridel Le Sueur had was that of fear, confusion, individuality, and hypocrisy of the state and federal government. The questions that Le Sueur raises are clear due to the philosophy of the United States which is “The Golden Rule”, “Humanity”, and “Truth” towards the people especially in times of need. Considering the frame of reference she did not like (along with many other White women) could not understand that the reciprocal exchange of humanity no longer existed due to the crisis of the “Great Depression.”

  • Narcissism In Daring Greatly By Brene Brown

    1312 Words  | 3 Pages

    The most successful way to instill righteous and moral behavior and thoughts is by demonstrating our respectable interactions and honest problem solving approaches during difficult times of our lives. “As adults we should dare to be adults that we want our children to be”. They learn by watching and are quick to mimic our behavior with their peers outside of home. The author writes that “we should strive to raise children who: engage with the world from a place of worthiness, embrace their vulnerabilities and imperfections, feel a deep sense of love and compassion for themselves and others, value hard work, perseverance, and respect, and also move through our rapidly changing world with courage and a resilient spirit” (214, 218-219). All of these elements will help to transform the way we live, love, and

  • Parental Influence on Shaping a Child

    1661 Words  | 4 Pages

    Mothers and fathers have the potential to provide their offspring with powerful, enduring models of behavior, and exert a continuing influence on the reactions and decisions which will shape their children’s’ lives. It is evident that this can be the case even in the absence of the parent. The mother or father who has died or moved away from the family home does not thereby become absent from the child’s memory, and does not thereby cease to guide the child’s behavior. These truths are illustrated by two books which deal with problems faced by adolescents, and which offer contrasting accounts of parental influence – in one case almost wholly negative; in the other case strongly positive, although not necessarily leading to good solutions to the difficulties confronted.

  • Parenting Styles And Development In Adolescence

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    These parenting styles guide the way for which a child transitioning into adolescence will advance. For instance, a study showed the adolescence having a high self-esteem and a high well being in their transitional period, with the relationship of an authoritative parenting style. This could come from both of the parents or just the mother. In comparison, a parent with a permissive parenting style showed that the adolescence would have a low self-esteem as well as adolescence with an uninvolved parent. (Milevsky et al.). For this reason, the type of parenting style can be an immense way to leading the way into the child’s adolescence

    Successful parenting may be judged by many different standards. Raising a child to be a respectful, mature, and independent adult requires a great deal of effort. There are several parenting styles, and not all lead a child to reaching their full potential. Overpowering sternness leads may lead to a rebellious child, while passive parenting may lead children to inept for the challenges of adulthood. Parenting requires more than teaching children submissiveness, or building of self-importance. Children learn best from a role model who is admirable. Parenting is a great opportunity to set the course of one’s entire life in the right direction.

    In a process of becoming an adult, children loves to imitate their parents behaviour as every knowledge start from home. According to Anderson,2002 “as children shape their behaviour and values, they may look the heroes and role models for guidance”. Negative examples such as parents who indulge in alcohol and drug abuse can give harm to child’s development and lead to social problems. Therefore, it is very important for parents to become a good role models for their children as children will easily influenced with their attitude. Teenagers very much prefer to spend their time with their friends instead of their family members. This is because they think that their friends understand them more than their own parents and siblings. Parents are too focused on their job and did not perform their duty well. The shaping occurs as family members always interact with each other every day(Davey & Paolucci, 1980). Parents should spend their time with their children because this will help in strengthening the bond between the child and his parents; making their children to trust them more than they trust their

    “Growing up, our relationship wasn't the best,” I told him. “It wasn't super bad or anything, but we didn't spend as much time together as we do now. How did that change?” He then focused on the ceiling, trying to this of his answer when he says, “I think I've read this before I said this, but… A parent’s relationship with the child goes through many stages. First, you are the protector and provider, which then the child sees you as such and treats you as such. Then, as the child starts to create their own personality, the father, in my case, becomes the enforcer. Don't run in the street, don't do dangerous things, for example. The child sees it as fun., but the parents see the negative part of the child running too free without rules and regulations. In that stage in life, the child and the parent almost become enemies. Hating them for not letting them do things, and having their heart be pulled out from the memories of them being a bab. But the third stage is the child seeing the emotional hardship the parents has gone through to protect the child, and sees the difficulty, which then comes the appreciation from the child, and they see the other side of parenthood. So the just of it is, it's love, love, love, and then the word “don't” comes in. I tried to stay away from the words “no” and “don't,” but instead telling you the consequences of what could happen. Not “don't eat the candy,”
