Parenting and Caring Response Community and Family Studies Explain how the age of the dependants affects a parents management of resources. (6 marks) A dependant is a person who relies on another person for support to help meet their needs, such as a child who relies on their parents. The age of the parent effects the level of development. The child may require more attention to meet their needs, so the parent of carer may need to give up more time and energy to care for them. When this happens this could make it hard for parents to manage their resources effectively.
Furthermore, some families feel that they can find someone that they trust in their own church or community. If deciding to go with a home care agency, they do all the screening and interviewing. Families have less input into the selection process and sometimes this can cause stress and frustration. Finding the right caregiver will improve your loved ones quality of life, keep them active for a longer time and keep them happy. One thing to be careful of,
Most places provide two major options: in-home childcare and a daycare center. Several things need to be looked at when making this decision on where to take your child. The most important considerations are c reliability, cost, flexibility, safety, and the socialization process the child will go through given your chosen facility. Both options have pros and cons but it is up to the parents to deliberate out each choice and decide which one will better suit their child and their needs. During these tough economic times, everyone is looking for ways to cut back on their spending.
Wilmott and Young studied the symmetrical family in 1974, the study carried out was to see if the traditional roles of the household had changed for example was it only the mother’s job to look after the children and tend to the house whilst the father went out to work. Young and Wilmot studied families within London and discovered the traditional conjugal roles have changed somewhat for the better, as husbands and fathers are beginning to help out more within the home. Willmott and Young found that symmetrical families were found more common among young couples who were socially isolated from their extended families and work mate because they had a lot more time to do privatised activities. They see the rise of the symmetrical nuclear family as a result of social changes such as; • Changes in women’s Position- married women going to work • Geographical Mobility- More couple living away from the communities in which they grew up • New Technology- TV, computers, phones, labour devices • Higher Standards of living Although the higher standards of living could be a result
Some theories focus on the idea of resilience while others focus on implications to the family. Long-term foster care or adoption? The evidence examined by John Triseliotis (2002) focuses on the outcomes of adoption and long-term fostering using ideas present in multiple theories previously mentioned. Moreover, Risk and Resilience in Long-Term Foster Care by Schofield and Beek (2005) touches on, as suggested in the title, the idea of resilience in development, while referencing a psychosocial model and developmental theory. Given these factors, practitioners can reference these particular articles to inquire about the issue of long-term foster care and adoption.
When a household has increased income it creates an opportunity for the family to obtain higher quality level of childcare, resulting in increased benefits and effects of infant childcare. Socioemotional adjustment is positively affected by infant childcare, which includes externalizing problems and reducing conflicts with others. Cognitive and behavioral aspects of personality are positively affected by infant childcare and are especially evident once children begin school. The positive effects of infant childcare can be seen when a child begins elementary school. “Once they get to kindergarten, they are less likely to bite, push or hit other children compared with infants from high-risk families who stayed home from birth” (Chatham 2006).
Using material from Item 2B and elsewhere assess the view that, in today’s society, the family is losing its functions. (24marks). Item 2B For functionalist sociologists, the family fulfils a number of important functions for individuals and for society, such as the socialisation of children and the stabilisation of adult personalities. However, some sociologists suggest that, in today’s society, these functions are being taken over by other institutions and the family is losing its importance. For example, nurseries and playgroups have an increasingly important role in the socialisation of young children whose parents are working full-time.
* Some schools have programs for pregnant students- Plumpton High School in Western Sydney and Dale School for young mothers in Newcastle. Employment: * For many sole parents finding employment can be difficult if childcare support networks such as friends/ family or day care service are not readily available. * Those who do rely on long-term employment rather than on welfare tend to have more choices in regard to health, education and lifestyle. * Employment also provides a sense of belonging and enhances self esteem. *
