Parenting. This word strikes fear in a number of young parents because it’s a whole new level of responsibility; many worry that they will not be good parents and will not be able to raise their child properly. Rex and Rose Mary Walls, from Jeannette Walls’ memoir The Glass Castle, are extremely strange people who live their life differently and it would seem like raising children would be a failure for them, but in the end, their kids grow up to be very decent adults. Both of Rex and Rose Mary are good parents because they demonstrate that they care about their kids very much, they raised them to be smart and able to see things for more than they are. The first thing that makes a good parent is not how you discipline your child or what classes they take, but it is to show that you care about them.
They feel the need to because no one else will. That line of thought normally comes from having parents who constantly disapprove and ignore their children. They don’t feel like they can escape so some children turn to imaginary friends, others to bad behaviors, and others to self-love, or narcissism. A child being taken away from their parents does more to their mind than anyone can imagine. And children don’t know how to coop so they do the best the can.
How do we take responsibility for ourselves or others? In the short story, “The Veldt”, the house takes responsibility for the family and not the parents. Since they let this happen, the children ended up disobeying them and the parents need to learn from that in order to keep control and restore balance into their life. In the end, it is the parent’s faults that they let their control slowly slip away and let the children have freedom in the nursery. Since they let their responsibility go, the house replaced the parents which made the children feel that the house is their parents.
Especially with foster children, foster children are always treated like they aren’t smart. People don’t push foster children to have high expectations for them to succeed. Children just believe what people are telling them and not being able to have the confidence to prove them wrong. (Spark Action) Most children don’t even have any knowledge about college or even crosses their mind. This is because they go home to home, that they feel they won’t be in a place to worry about that.

Saskieya Anderson April 16, 2012 Honors English III Period 9 Allowance Should Be Earned There are many books about parenting in the world but there is not a step by step rule book to parenting. Good parents discipline and teach their children to be prepared for the real world by encouraging a positive mentality, physical, spiritual and financial strength to succeed. Some parents feel that rewarding their children by gift giving or financial allowances further encourages them to understand how the real world works with the concept that through doing work or good deeds you earn a reward while others believe that an allowance should be given regardless of a child’s behavior.

As she suffers from finding a stable income and house for her family, Moody’s mother Toosweet encourages Moody to do well in school. However, her push to ensure Moody to succeed in school is only to prove to her husband Raymond’s family that her daughter is as smart as his family, not encourage Moody to attend college and fight for her rights. As a child, Moody was unaware of the oppression and inequality that African Americans had suffered. As she constantly questioned her concerns to her mother about the incidents that occurred, her mother always told her, “Just do your work like you don’t know anything” (Moody, 123). She realizes that her mother ignores the racial acts against her community and becomes alienated within her family as well as her community when she fights for her rights.
According to Coles, parents have difficulty explaining ethics to their children because they don't want to shatter their kids innocence. They tend to keep them in a bubble so their kids don't grow up with bad experiences, yet they tell them what to believe in. “In many homes parents establish moral assumption, mandates, priorities. They teach children what to believe in, what not to believe in. They teach children what is permissible or not permissible” (61).

The may begin to show little or no concern for the child, rarely respond to the school’s requests for information, or demand perfection or a level of physical academic performance that the child cannot achieve. When a parent or guardian has no concerns about how their child is doing in school, it is validation that they have either given up or never cared about the child’s future. Demanding perfection and abusing a child when they cannot reach their expectations, raises concerns as well. We all want our children to do well in school and in life in general, but we cannot physical force them to excel. When questioned about a child’s injuries, an abusive parent will offer conflicting, unconvincing, or no explanation.
