The moment a woman finds out she is pregnant, she begins to think of what kind of parent she’ll be and what if she isn’t a good parent? It is very common for a mother or father to be scared when they find out they are about to bring another human into this world. The mother has to start by eating healthy, drinking a lot of water and getting enough rest. The parenting of a child does not begin when the child is born, it begins when the mother finds out she is pregnant. Parents often make mistakes, when raising their children, that can do more harm than good in the long run.
The first mistake parents often make is not being there enough for their children. For example, my Tia who is a correctional officer, worked a lot of overtime and was not

“As long as you live under this roof you are going to do as we say, so you’re going to church and making your confirmation, end of discussion.”
Parents making their children have the same beliefs as them, hoping it will teach the child right from wrong, can make the child not want the beliefs. This is a mistake because if you push something on your children too hard it will push the child away and hurt the parent even more.
The final, most common, mistake parents make while raising their children is being too strict. My parents were and still are strict on my two sisters and I. We were not allowed to go out past a certain time and had to be home by ten or eleven at the latest. They literally wanted to know our every move, when and when we went somewhere, who we were going with, and what was their number. This caused both of my older sisters to run away at seventeen, but my parents found them and made them come back home. As soon as they turned eighteen they moved out right away to get away from my parents and all their

In the future many of these mistakes can affect the child in a negative way. Parenting is being there for your child at every stage in their life and not putting work as first priority. Being there for a child gives parents the chance to set boundaries and follow through with their word. Parenting is allowing a child to decide what sport or activity they want to do and encouraging them to give it all they have. As a parent, you are your child’s number one fan, parents have to be there to support the child not be against them. It is not pushing your child away by trying to make them believe in the same things as the parent and not being too strict. Making mistakes is part of figuring out how to be a parent. So don’t worry everyone makes mistakes, just correct the mistakes before it harms the
Parents and their parenting style play an important role in the development of their child. In fact, many child experts suggest that parenting style can affect a child’s social, cognitive, and psychological development which influence not just their childhood years, but it will also extend throughout their adult life. This is because a child’s development takes place through a number of stimuli, interaction, and exchanges that surround him or her. And since parents are generally a fixed presence in a child’s life, they will likely have a significant part on the child’s positive or negative development (Gur 25).
Pregnancy and the birth of a child throughout many cultures is viewed as a gift, either from God or from any other supernatural figure that they worship. If the pregnancy is terminated for any reason or there are complications it is also viewed in a large group of cultures as a punishment, or because you did not closely follow the rules or regulations of your culture. The process, emotional, and physical stress of bearing a child places mothers and family in a position of opportunity along with placing within them great responsibility. Mothers planning to bear children ideally need to be within the healthy weight range along with being well nourished, but this is not always the case. Many mothers to be are surprised when they realize or are
A parent’s parenting styles are as diverse as the world we live in today. Nowadays, parents only want what is best for their children and their parenting styles plays a crucial role in the development of children which will in the long run, not only effect the child’s childhood years, but later prolong into their adult life as well.
Children need structure. It is a parent’s job to instill structure and rules in their child. Although we need to raise independent children, the life skills taught to children are more important than any style of parenting. Teaching children unconditional love, time management and the proper attitudes, and skills, children grow up confident and feel loved.
Being a parent is one of the hardest and scariest things in the world. It’s hard to ever think about a parent actually hurting their own flesh and blood. It’s easy to accidentally say something to child that might hurt their feelings. It’s easy to let tempers fly when times are hard, and kids are asking for things that cannot be gotten. That is when things can get out of hand.
Today more than ever one can hear people boast about the importance of developing the future generations adequately. Parents typically have the child’s best interest at heart, however humans are made imperfect and mistakes towards child development are inevitable. My parents based most of their parenting, like most parents on the way they were raised. They would choose what they felt appropriate and what would be harmful to a child. Although, this may sound like a purifying system one cannot disregard the fact that this choosing on what is good and bad is mainly opinionated. Huge misconceptions typically lie on the authoritarian and permissive roles as
When women find out they are pregnant they will have one of these emotions: excitement on being pregnant and starting a family and then there is the “oh no” feeling. These two feelings go the same way when they tell the new father. An example of this would be when Maria told her husband Carter that she was pregnant, but he was more upset of Maria’s pregnancy and told her to go get an abortion. But the reason for him to be upset
The fear of childbirth is very common among many expecting parents. The thought of being able to cope with the pain, any childbirth-related injuries and even the possibility of needing a cesarean section is very intimidating for many. Not to mention everything that happens after the baby is born, such as being able to feed and nurture the child. Challenges can occur during and after pregnancy. Postpartum depression can arise after birth due to hormonal changes, psychological adjustment, and fatigue. Another challenge is breast-feeding; although it is very nourishing for your baby many women have problems dealing with this. Most parents are able to prepare themselves for pregnancy and raising a child, but what most expecting parents do
Each parent is different; they all have different ways in parenting and disciplining their children. One’s own parenting style is usually derived from the way one was raised or the society one lives in. Parenting styles include authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive, and it is very important to know which style one falls in because it can have an effect on how one’s child grows up to be and develops. Authoritative parenting would be the better parenting style because it is in the middle of the parenting styles; it is not at the extreme ends of the spectrum. It can be very beneficial to parents to understand that how one raises their children can give them a foundation for good development for years to come.
There are many approaches to parenting and everyone has their own preferences as to what they think is best. In a fast paced rush around society, it is hard to know what the best choices are for your children. There is a struggle to balance what needs to be done with what can be done, and this has negative and positive feedback on the children. Parents play a critical role in shaping and guiding their children into functional confident adults. An effective parent will learn as they teach in order to grow into understanding with their children.
It can be said for most parents that they want their children to grow up to be successful contributing members of society. Being a parent is a difficult, yet rewarding task. But why do some types of parenting result in juvenile delinquency while others find success. There are four generally recognized parenting styles and are categorized: authoritarian, permissive, neglectful, and authoritative. This essay will break down the various styles, its type(s) of discipline and effectiveness.
The responsibility of being pregnant is surely not as sever as actually having a baby but it is truly a preparation course. I feel almost scared when I go to the doctor. I keep close eyes on my food intake and eating habits, so that I can have enough supplements for both of us. I have to keep my baby safe because she can not do it on her own. I have to prepare myself for life with my baby; it is not only a mind set but also a physical one. I have to be prepared to make sacrifice and present stability in a child’s life even though I am still young. I have to face responsibility and understand it and achieve it. I have to face my fears, and run at them so that I may conquer life to the fullest. I must stand on my own feet and make my own decisions because this is my life; no this is our life.
Children are the future of the world and need to be nurtured and educated in the best conditions. Thus, parenting is one of the most challenging and admirable responsibilities that people can experience. Parenting plays important roles in the development of children’s characteristics. Some people nurture children depending on their own ways. Others get advice from friends or books. Parenting can be divided into three groups: authoritative, permissive, and democratic parenting.
Another thing that parents do is not correctly discipline their children. What they think is a punishment, is really a reward to the child. For example the child is becoming annoying to the parent; the parent will then give the child either a cellphone or a tablet so that the child will become distracted. By doing this time...
Children sometimes get away from their parents. Meaning, children that do not follow instructions or rules grow up to be disrespectful and have bad attitudes. Parents that do not focus on their children behavior will cause problems for them as an adult. For example, if one is not taught to speak
