The Puritan father is the divinely ordained ruler of his little commonwealth. Even though the fathers and men had the majority of the saying in the family, wives shared a responsibility of rearing the children. The wives main concern was education and spiritual salvation. Most families in England and Virginia were rather small but, in New England families ranged to 6 or more children. 2.
ALLEYAH JEANELLE KNIGHT-PARENT REFERENCE LETTER Being Alleyah’s father, I must first admit my obvious bias of her being an absolutely wonderful young woman. As a physician, however, my training has conditioned me to be non-biased in my assessment of what makes an individual healthy and successful. I have also had the misfortune, yet the advantage of being the non-custodial parent for Alleyah the past six years. These circumstances have forced me to parent more from the “outside, looking in”, which I believe also contributes to a less biased point of view concerning Alleyah’s character and successes. In my opinion, Alleyah is quite mature and accomplished for her 18 years.
Structural Family Therapy DEFINITION Structural family therapy is a model of treatment based on systems theory that was developed primarily at the Philadel¬phia Child Guidance Clinic, under the leadership of Salvador Minuchin, over the last 15 years. The model’s distinctive fea¬tures are its emphasis on structural change as the main goal of therapy, which ac¬quires preeminence over the details of individual change, and the attention paid to the therapist as an active agent in the pro¬cess of restructuring the family. HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT Structural family therapy was the child of necessity, or so the student may con¬clude in tracing the origins of the move¬ment back to the early l960s, to the time when Salvador Minuchin was doing ther¬apy, training, and research at the Wilt¬wyck School for Boys in New York. Ad¬mittedly, our historical account does not need to start precisely there, but the devel¬opment of a treatment model—no less than the development of an individual or a family—can only be told by introducing a certain punctuation and discarding al¬ternative ones. It would be possible to choose a more distant point in time and focus on Minu¬chin’s experience in the newborn Israel, where families from all over the world converged carrying their bits of common purpose and their lots of regional idiosyn¬crasies, and found a unique opportunity to live the combination of cultural univer¬sals and cultural specifics.

Examine children’s experiences of family life and why the family is important to them The following essay will examine children’s experiences of family life. I will show my understanding of when childhood began and elaborate on the Aries thesis to examine views of childhood. The sociology of childhood offers a theoretical perspective that interprets children’s experiences of the family and school. I will identify the reasons why family is important to children, furthermore showing how intuitions and social practices influence and shape childhood. The pinnacle point of this essay will be to explore children’s experiences of family life and show what it is like for different types of families such as lone parents and step families.
Comprehensive Treatment Plan Debra Workman UB School of Social Work April 24, 2011 In terms of a comprehensive intervention plan for the target system—19 year old, Stacy, and her three children—there are three levels of practice in which considerations must be made; micro, mezzo, and macro. For each level, it is important to consider the needs of the client, existing resources available, system gaps in service, and ways to empower the client toward improving their system’s functioning (Miley, O’Melia & DuBois, 2011). With Stacy, a strong understanding and application of generalist concepts and principles may prove effective in providing her with the tools and direction needed to handle various day-to-day situations while

1. Definition of concepts 1.1 Child rearing: “Child-rearing styles or parenting styles "are combinations of parenting behaviors that occur over a wide range of situations, creating an enduring child-rearing climate" (Berk 279-280). There are different ideas and tips on how to successfully raise and parent a child properly.” Reference: Berk, Laura E.. Development Through the Lifespan:Fourth Edition. Boston, MA: Pearson Education, Inc., 2007. www.youtube.com www.wikipedia.org 2. Prosocial behaviour: “The term prosocial behavior describes acts that demonstrate a sense of empathy, caring, and ethics, including sharing, cooperating, helping others, generosity, praising, complying, telling the truth, defending others, supporting others with warmth and affection, nurturing and guiding, and even the altruistic act of risking one's life to warn or aid another.” Reference: Prosocial Behaviour Comparison of the Child Rearing Styles of Participant 1 and Participant 2 The following could be deduced from the parents and children’s’ biographical information in Tables 1 and Table 2 respectively: Participant 1, is a black female aged 31, married and a stay-at-home parent who has two children but per week she manages to spend about 96 hours weekly with her child(i.e the subject).
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
Family Systems and how they function Tony Newsome Dr. Pamela Todd September 11, 2014 Introduction Family Systems and Healthy Development beings with parenting and how parents raise their children. In this essay, I will discuss how one can discern a healthy family system, what are the determining factors that distinguish healthy systems, the effects of an unhealthy family system on development, and how family systems affect physical (neural), emotional, spiritual, and social development. Parents are the ones who mold and shape their children whether it is being an authoritarian/military style approach or permissive, a more laid back approach. Children who have parents barking orders at them all the time will either revel or will clam up like a robot and will not be able to interact sociably with others. Permissive parents have children who, in many ways, share the undesirable characteristics of children of authoritarian parents.
