Children can also get mental problems because of spanking such as killing themselves. Children start to think about why they were born and asking themselves if they should live in a world where they just get spanked all the time. Therefore, parents who spank their children should change their minds about spanking their children. Spanking children is not a good way to discipline them because children will have bad relationships with parents and other people. For example, children who are usually spanked by their parents have problems with them because of spanking, so children will become more aggressive with other people who are around them.
Some ideas and theories in science meet with resistance. One of the examples when an idea is meeting with the resistance is immunization. More often children immunization meets with public resistance. As the vaccination of children is parents' decision many decides not to do it. Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s.
Just my opinion, but I think it's getting worse. It's considered wrong to even spank your children these days. When we misbehaved as children, our rear ends were red. Now, you have to worry that CPS is going to come knocking on your door. As a result, I think children are getting by with more and more.
Not only are we teaching them they are not responsible for their actions, we are showing them they can use a substance to alter their behavior. Is that an appropriate lesson for children? I don’t advocate taking every child off Ritalin, but I do think it is much too widely prescribed and not enough research has been done on the subject. I would think that every person should be concerned when they see a large number of children on a drug that is a methamphetamine and in the same drug class as cocaine. Do we want to put a chemical like that into the bodies of our children?
They may have feelings of loss or guilt about the father not being in the home. The child may feel responsible for the parent’s leaving the home. Children sometimes accept blame for things going wrong at home when they really should not. While researching the literature on children from single-parent homes and juvenile delinquency some of the same factors presented regarding delinquent behavior. The literature also reports that without stability in their lives these children are at risk to be victims as well as perpetrators of violence.
Mitch McNamara 3012456 Engl.102-AS14 Dr. Ford October 18, 2013 Causes of Addictions (revised) In “Embraced by the Needle” writer Gabor Maté in his expository essay argues that in a person’s childhood they need a loving non-stressed environment so they will not need to look to outside sources such as drugs for that warm comforting feeling. These life experiences initiate brain development at an early age by promoting the growth of receptors and nerve cells, which inevitably will make children less susceptible to addictions later in life. Many parents of drug addicts had childhood issues or were emotionally distressed growing up. This likely deemed them unsuitable parents and unable to provide their children with positive warm interactions
Running head: The Medicated Child The Medicated Child Abstract In this report, I am going to place my views on a PBS television documentary called Frontlines, The Medicated Child. The documentary show the large increase in children who have the diagnosis of ADHD that are believed by many doctors to be misdiagnosed and indeed thought to have bipolar disorder. I will express my viewpoint on prescribing anti-psychotic medications and my disbelief on the parents of these children. The Medicated Child The video on the Medicated Child made me mad and quite sad that there are parents in this world that are so willing to give their children anti-psychotic medications with little or no knowledge on what they are putting in their bodies. It was stated several times that these anti-psychotic medications are used to treat adults with bipolar disorder and their side effects have never been studied in children, so these parent are using their children as what I would call a “lab rat” some sort of science experiment, unbelievable!
Family life can be characterized as chaotic and uncertain. Structure and rules may be either nonexistent or inconsistent. Children, who may not understand that their parent’s behavior and mood is determined by the amount of alcohol or other drugs in their bloodstream, can feel confused and insecure. They love their parents and worry about them, and yet feel angry and hurt that their parents do not love
Birth Defects enable the child to be fully developed. Babies born with a meth addiction can Suffer from low birth rate, tremors, attention deficit disorder, and other birth defects. An unborn child is not protected while in their mother’s uterus, so he/she are exposed to whatever the carrier intake is.

Starting as early as kindergarten, children should be taught about relationships and to respect others. At different levels, kids could benefit from sex education . As children become teenagers, they should be taught about abstinence and the consequences of sex. Then, as studies show, by high school they are becoming sexually active and should be taught about contraceptives as well as about venereal disease and AIDS. This may not solve the high teen-pregnancy rate nor the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among teens.
