I tried going to alternative school while working and pregnant but that did not last but a semester either. I was to worried about what my child’s father was doing that I also quit going to that school. Six months after having my first child I ended up pregnant with my second one. I knew from then that I had no chance of ever going back. So I got married at 17 and started just playing the house wife and mom, till it came to me having to find a job.
This means not to treat anyone with a disability different, and to treat them right according to their needs. Data Protection Act 1948 also influences me when working with children because everyone who works with children knows that confidentiality is one of the main priorities when working with children. The Data Protection Act 1948 makes sure that no child’s information is available to anyone, unless it’s to do with the courts. It also means that when working with the children you cannot talk about the children with family and friends. This law is all about making sure
Punishment in these homes is rare, as authoritative parents use natural consequences so their children are able to learn and grow from their mistakes. Children of authoritative parents are encouraged to be independent and meet their parents' high standards, which results in a positive sense of self” (Schmidt, 2011). "They monitor and impart clear standards for their children’s conduct. They are assertive, but not intrusive and restrictive. Their disciplinary methods are supportive, rather than punitive.
The question really is why the parents would be held responsible for the crimes or actions of their children. People who disagree with me will say that since the parents are responsible for the child that they are responsible for the child’s actions. What I say to that is, parents should not be held responsible for their children’s actions and/or crimes because the parents cannot control every decision of their minor children. A parent can teach a child to do the right thing but that does not mean the child will always do the right thing. A parent cannot control everything that their child does.
However, because racism originates from the home, any outside influences are pointless at the Cowan 2 elementary age. Louise Derman-Sparks claims that, ”Children are color-blind. They are unaware of race and racism. This ideology further assumes that if adults don’t talk with children about ‘it’, children will grow up to be non-prejudice adults” (5). At this age children have not yet developed the ability to “think for themselves” especially when it comes to doing what is right and what is wrong.
Also including my personal observation on children in my own family. I want to persuade you on how dangerous it is to spoil our children and what we can do to prevent them from becoming “little brats”. Kids these days are more self-centered and their individuality appears at a young age, due to the lack of control by parents. And now you find them having privileges that till this day we don’t have access to, such as: expensive cell phones and top of the range laptops as well as having their own driver by the age of 7. I won’t go deep into physical details such as the harm on the eyesight and brain; I would simply be talking about the behavior of children today.
I knew I couldn’t care for the baby like I wanted to. I was unemployed and I just started going to school for my GED. I knew there would be a family out there that could give the baby the world, I knew I could of but it is better when there are two parents there for support. When I went to my first doctor’s appointment, I asked my doctor if I was a bad person for wanting to give the baby up for adoption. She said no.
Because she was not a pretty girl and had a slim chance of marriage, her father invested in her education. From the ages of five to nine, Eliot went to school with her sister Chrissey at Miss Latham’s School in Attleborough, from the ages of nine to thirteen, she went to Mrs. Wallington’s School in Nuneaton, and from the ages of thirteen to sixteen, she went to Miss Franklin’s School in Coventry. At Mrs. Wallington’s School, she was taught by the evangelical Maria Lewis. While at Miss Franklin’s School, “the atmosphere was religious and she was exposed to a quiet, disciplined belief opposed to evangelicalism” (as in “Britannica 1”). After the age of sixteen, Eliot received very little formal education, but she was allowed to use the library of Arbury Hall, where she was self taught.
Storytelling and Its Societal Effects Stories help us to define the ways in which we’d like to live our lives. Children and adolescents learn family values and morals from the stories their relatives tell them from older generations. We learn about who to look up to, who our role models are, and what qualities we want to have when we become independent. If people did not hear stories about other peoples mistakes or accomplishments, then no one would ever learn from the mistakes of friends, family members, or anyone that could make any kind of influence on their decisions. Everyone would continue to repeat the mistakes made by everyone else and nothing would get accomplished.
This is half of who my child will be. P2 I agree with Joan Ryan’s statement “It is the acknowledgement that parents are the ones choosing, and then guiding their children through the outside environment“. The parental figure has so much influence on the path that their child will take through life. For example I was hell bent on not going to college for a year after I graduated from high school I just wanted to get a job and have fun. My Mom made a completely different decision for me, and guided me to college.
