You do something above and beyond there will be a reward, you do something you know you are not supposed to do and there will be a negative consequence. This instills the idea of right and wrong. It prevents them from believing every action they take in the right direction earns a reward, but also lets them know that is they fall in their behavior that they will be reprimanded for their actions. Most parents from the study this book is based off of believed this was the option they thought they were using. However after discussing with other parents they found that they had flawed their own parenting plan by not being consistent enough with either of the
That however has been proven untrue. Some parents are simply looking for reasons to medicate their children so that they do not have to parent them. This is when it becomes increasingly important to make sure that they child in question fits the criteria for what is needed for an AD/HD diagnosis. Contrary to what many believe poor parenting is not a cause of AD/HD. In addition to that playing video games, too much sugar, fast past lifestyle and lack of self control are also invalid causes of AD/HD.
It’s beneficial as there are male and female role models available for the children, and it gives the parents more control of how their children are brought up. Another strength is that there’s less interference from wider family members however this can also be seen as a negative aspect, as other people are unaware of what’s happening and if there was any problems within the family and therefore it’s difficult to identify neglect. This also makes it difficult to seek professional help outside of the family. Another disadvantage of this privatised nuclear family is that children are only exposed to one set of values and so are influenced to become like their parents in the future as they have no exposure to other behaviours of different families. A criticism of this
In Geek Love, by Katherine Dunn, we see through the Bineski family how disability is actually perceived as something positive and extraordinary rather than negative. It is safe to say that the Bineski family (mainly the children) would not be happy or feel special if they were non-disabled. Before I start on my argument, I believe it necessary to explain the difference between disability and impairment since people often get the two confused. Disability is defined in two ways- as “a lack of adequate power, strength, or physical or mental ability” and as “what you cannot do because the environment and social attitudes block you from doing it.” Impairment is a “condition of your body”. The impairment is not usually what is disabling, but the environmental and attitudinal barriers are.
At least in my case it disgusts’ me to think parents would be so irresponsible to expose their baby to such life style. It’s almost as if they wanted that type of life for his future, this type of quotes really makes Baca a truth teller in a way it shows to you the raw truth about how some people have adult experiences at an extremely young age and unfortunately, most of the time is the parents fault that young kids into such dark and pity full lifestyle and what makes it worse is that they mistakenly believe, that lifestyle is not as bad for their kids. Baca uses such great description on the place he wants to imaginary take you, for example on page 52. “I remember the Mexican voices that came from the jukeboxes…” The way he describes the noise, the place, and what is happening in that place, it literary takes you to that place that you get the sensations that you are actually there watching listening and experiencing everything that he is describing. Journeying with Baca through a psychic landscape makes you feel as if you were present the very moment everything you are reading is happening right before your eyes.
They feel the need to because no one else will. That line of thought normally comes from having parents who constantly disapprove and ignore their children. They don’t feel like they can escape so some children turn to imaginary friends, others to bad behaviors, and others to self-love, or narcissism. A child being taken away from their parents does more to their mind than anyone can imagine. And children don’t know how to coop so they do the best the can.
The parents usually do not socialize with other parents because they usually receive negative comments towards their child. Parents who anti-socialize usually channel that aggression to their spouse which results in violent arguments. Schools as well as teachers are also responsible on placing kids with ADHD in an environment where they can perform their best. This is not to segregate the children but to place them in an environment where they can learn their best. Also, if the child does not perform at his/her best, it greatly reduces the self-esteem not only of the child but the parents as well.
In the second article, “A Growing Sense of Entitlement,” Navarrette argues that parents have instilled a sense of entitlement in their children because they have spoiled them and have neglected to instill hard working values in them. He also argues that students believe they should be entitled to receiving a better grade but they do not put in full effort and study required to reach them. This article can relate to Neusner because both
For some reason the adult child feels as though they have the same rights to the household as their parents do. With this sad reality, comes the enabling parent who has become overly dependent on their young adult emotionally, thus stifling the independence of their child. This is what happens in a co-dependent household. The codependent parent fails to realize that it is the responsibility of the parents to teach their children to teach independence and responsibility. Enabling your adult children will only cripple them.
It is also true that these children are less supervised because they don’t receive the time and communication from their parents. Even though there is no evidence behind all this, these are the reasons why single-parent households are viewed as problematic for
