Level 3 CYPW-SC Unit 62 Assignment- Understand the issues affecting young people in relation to sexual health and risk of pregnancy 1.1 Pregnancy- Teenage pregnancy is a serious social problem and a key inequality and social exclusion issue. Having children at a young age can damage young women's health and well-being and severely limit their education and career prospects. While individual young people can be competent parents, all the evidence shows that children born to teenagers are much more likely to experience a range of negative outcomes in later life. Children born to teenage parents are also much more likely, in time, to become teenage parents themselves. While the negative consequences of teenage pregnancy are felt most by young women and their children, it is important that strategies to reduce teenage pregnancy also impact on young men's attitudes and behavior.
So, if parents are the key to ensuring a well-rounded teenager, what type of parenting style could get the job done efficiently? Perhaps it is the engaged and devoted parent that makes the most impact or perhaps it is the parents who tend to chose to the their child’s best friend instead of being their mentor? Taking a look at the different parenting styles from authoritarian, authoritative, indifferent-uninvolved, and indulgent permissive, we will begin to understand the best choice in the upbringing of our children. Hard work, obedience, and respect are exactly what parents with an authoritarian parenting style expect from their children. Not only do they assume their child will do what they ask when they ask but they expect to have no discussion about it, just action.
Vulnerable mothers that do not finish getting their education become discouraged and loose the motivation and drive to tackle the oncoming challenges that life brings, creating for them another barrier on the micro level; it being a financial barrier. “Poverty and economic loss diminish the capacity for supportive, consistent, and involved parenting and render parents more vulnerable to the debilitating effects of negative life events” (Vonnie C. McLoyd, 1990 p.311). Not being financially stable brings on a lot of stress that impacts the relationship between the mother and child. Education has a large impact on a person’s life and it can change it for the better.
There are so many reasons as to which juveniles can talk themselves into joining gangs. Reasons having to do with family problems or even involvement in the gangs, to friends being there, making money fast and having a sense of “security” when with his or her gang members. One of the main reasons why kids partake in gang activity is because of a neglected feeling from their family. “If young people aren’t getting positive attention from parents, joining a gang certainly provides lots of negative attention. Youth who are angry at a parent may join a gang to shock or be defiant toward the parent”.
I’m not saying don’t help them, but don’t let them become dependent upon parents/ caregivers being the sole sources of their support. “While the high cost of housing in some cities and low entry-level job salaries have contributed to the boomerang phenomenon, some parents want to "protect" their children for as long as possible, More said” (More parents supporting adult children, 2005). “He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly” (Solomon, 1997). So the question to parents of boomerang children would be, when is too much support, just too
Many books were interesting regarding child stress but particularly “The Romance of Risk” by Dr. proton was very amazing. The romance of risk is a perfect book for parents concerned about their children’s well-being in this age of abuse. Proton tell us about the ideas that risk-taking is primarily an angry power struggle with parents and teenage. Challenge and risk are the primary steps use to find out about your child that who they are and determine who they will become. In the chapter “Divorce Wars: The Buddy Dilemma”, Dr. Proton explains how teenagers struggle during the difference between their parents and as a results end up making choices such as drugs, alcoholism,
This has made women to be illiterate as the men acquire the best education. The Kosgei 2 reason they are doing this is because the belief women are inferior over the men and should not have anything good. Although United Nations has discouraged such culture it is still gaining popularity in many countries around the world. Such cultures make women to be slaves of men and deny them freedom of education. Some religion in the society has been unable to move with the time, they reject modern education claiming that it is a threat to their beliefs and the way of life.Consequently,the children of such house hold are also deprived the opportunity to study in modern schools and free their minds from conservative ideologies.
Every parent hopes their child will grow up to be successful, self reliant and respectful. In some instances such as in the short story "Be-ers and Doers" by Budge Wilson you can have a parent pushing you too far to become their idea of the “perfect child". However in the short story "The most powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." by Neil Millar, the author shows us that there are more efficient ways of raising a child. “The most powerful Question a Parent Can Ask...” has a much more respectful approach when it comes to raising
Adults are thought of having high expectations for their children and the negative assumptions would have a huge impact on the outcome for the kids. Parents these days expect their children to grow up by the same morals and values that they themselves were raised in. But there is one problem that I can see happening already, and that is that some parents may want more for their children, while as other parents may not care what happens to their children as far as which direction they are heading in life. The adult expectations can cause more problems within the families because there may be too much pressure put onto the youth of today. Pressure as in getting a job, to get married and have a successful career, and to the youth of today, these expectations are too high.
America is moving forward as ‘The Home of The Free’ but is being driven by fear. First, Parents around the country believe that their kids are in danger at every moment. They are sucked into what the media wants. Every day, locally and nationally the news reports different ways that your child may be in trouble or in danger, when actually, the chances of being kidnapped are very, very low. However that is not the greatest fear.
