An international comparison of Swedish and UK education systems I will be examining the difference between the Sweden early education system and the UK early Years education system. I will then compare the two systems highlighting values that underpin the different countries’ curriculums. According to Sandberg, A. and ̌Arlemalm-Hagś́er (2011), the Swedish Early Years education is a combination of learning and play and the basic social values in life. Their curriculum focuses on three values which are; children’s rights, gender equity and what the education the state purports as a need for sustainable development. The Swedish curriculum for preschool is the ultimate determinant of the kind of education all childhood learning settings adhere to in Sweden.
Sensitive parenting is the most important factor in a child’s psychological development – discuss This essay will explore the concept of sensitive parenting and will look at how the dynamic interactions between parent and child inform Attachment Theory a model which measures child development. This model, pioneered by Bowlby is posited within the principles of a psychoanalytic and biological perspective (Bee, H.L., 2000). Child attachment can be classified into two main types, secure and insecure, by using a standard laboratory assessment known as the “Strange Situation” developed by Ainsworth, insecure attachment was divided further into sub groups, ambivalent and avoidant (Ding, S. & Littleton, K. 2005). Whilst discussing attachment theory which utilises the concept of an internal working model other approaches in terms of understanding how parenting affects child development will be explored. Theoretical positions such as social learning theory which lies heavily on behaviourist principles will be looked at, parenting styles where patterns of parenting will be discussed and inter-generational transmission which serves to perpetuate society’s inequalities and disadvantages with negative connotations for a child’s psychological development (Ding, S. & Littleton, K. 2005).
Parenting Styles Brittany Patten Liberty University Abstract There are many different parenting styles utilized by caregivers in today’s world. Parenting styles may depend on location in the world, tradition, personal preference, or a myriad of other reasons. Parents and researchers try to figure out what parenting style is best for children to teach them to become strong, independent adults. Among the most popular parenting styles are authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and other new-age parenting styles. Today, there has been a rise among instinctual parenting and attachment parenting.
Quiz – What Type of Parent are you? By Debra W. Haffner, author of What Every 21st-Century Parent Needs To Know Read the four statements and choose which one most closely resembles how you approach your children. Don’t take a long time to think this through; go with your first instinct. (Would your children agree with your answer?) The Four Parenting Styles The four parenting styles are known by parenting researchers as Permissive, Authoritarian, Authoritative, and Uninvolved/Neglectful.
This paper will look at those experts who do believe in birth order and the affects they believe arise from birth order. Alfred Adler is considered to be the pioneer in the birth order theory (Roberts, 2011, par. 5). Adler thought that the best way to understand a person’s behavior and personality was to know their birth order and status in their family. Adler believed that there were positive and negative repercussions, depending on how a person responded to their position in the family (Roberts, 2011, par.
Parenting styles has been the center of the discussion concerning the outcome of a child’s life since Adam and Eve had their first two children Cain and Able. In this paper, biblical parenting styles will be examined as well as modern concepts of parenting. We will also discuss the four major modern parenting styles and how their authors established their criteria. The four modern parenting styles, authoritarian, permissive, authoritative and uninvolved will be compared and contrasted and we will see what parenting style has the greater positive and negative effect on children. Is it set in stone that a certain parenting style is the best or do external influences such as peer pressure, media and societal pressures
To achieve this, this paper will focus on four factors, which are, (1) parenting style/child rearing pattern (2) parents’ career, work values and work related attitudes and behaviour (3) parent’s education and socio-economic status and (4) gender stereotyping and the gender of parent and child. The following definitions will be used throughout the literature review and as a result, they have been singled out and defined for greater clarity. Definition of Terms 1. Impact strong effect or impression (Collins’ dictionary) 2. Familial of a family or its members; something that has a tendency to occur in a
Infants, especially are totally dependent on others, and the responsibility to look after the young ones typically falls on parents. From then on, the parents begin to teach their child the norms and values of society. This often involves the child learning the stereotypical role of their gender. In addition to this, the class of the parents are conferred upon the child. George Peter Murdock found that nuclear families are universal.
Alexis McCormick Mrs. Linda Long English 102 July 12, 2013 Parental Influences on Family Values Addressing the challenges surrounding young people today has become hot topics among families. As the generations continue to age, family values start to become controversial. The building of values and the development of one’s character revolves around one’s environment. Within the family environment the way children learn values have been noted to have been passed from generation to generation. As these generations age, society changes as well as the family values.
I feel that that is a good point, but not a very thorough definition. In my own views responsible parenting includes many things, from not only deciding when to become a parent, but teaching your children strong morals and good behaviors. Many parents bring their children up differently, but the blueprints are similar. There are several ways to generate good morals and behaviors. I would like to discuss some of these methods further as we go forward.
