Rabiner (1999) quoted the results of a study conducted by Kaplan, Crawford, Fisher and Dewey (1998) which revealed that parents of ADHD children reported feeling considerably dissatisfied with their family life. The following quotation highlights the impact an ADHD child has on parents. A parent needs abundant love and wisdom, a parent must be knowledgeable about education, a parent must acquire the skills and sophistication in managing behavior that psychologists have acquired after years of study, and a parent must develop the patience of a model clergy man or woman.

Being or having a sibling could sometimes be something enjoyable. For example, I being the oldest of my little brother I get to help him with dilemmas I’ve already gone through that include school, friends, etc. There could also be many down consequences to being an older sibling.

Sander’s passes these life lessons and inheritance down to his children. Both physical and abstract is accomplished through the uses of characterizing, symbolism, and imagery in Sanders’ essay. Sanders uses characterization to represent the influence of a parent on his child’s personality. In the essay he describes his father as a patient, helpful, and very hard working man who “Did not talk much in the midst of his tools, but he kept up a nearly ceaseless humming, slipping in and out of a dozen tunes in an afternoon, often running back over the same stretch of melody again and again, as if searching for a way out,” States Sander’s.

Family Dynamics (Comparative Essay) Parents raise their children to either live vicariously through them or want to have them follow their own path in life. The stories "The Charmer" by Budge Wilson and "Brother Dear" by Bernice Friesen, show both ways of parenting which influences the children to go against them. Both stories show that each set of parents display conflict with their children. Although one story focuses on how parenting is not hard enough and influences the children negatively, the other story displays how the parenting is too hard and it also affects the children negatively.

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.
