Things that are shown to have an effect of childrens development
The chapters 4 and 5 reading made me think about how children in different cultures are being raised and how we are being raised in the united states and in turn made me realise that there are a lot of similar things that happen. One of the things that is similar is how a mother, father or parental figure treats or responds to a child is the basis of how that child is going to grow up and the traits that they have in many different areas of their lives. Also the environment and cultural settings have alot to do with parts of the child growing up as they explained in the book a child from one culture will be passive and the other culture would not be in certain situations. Religious beliefs play into a child up bringing as well as all the other factors involved. So in turn i think that a child is effected by all aspects of life and each part plays an important roll in the up bringing of a child in today's world.

There in a nutshell is what can be so overwhelming for a parent, especially a new parent. So many factors, and often factors out of our control can and do influence the kind of adult you end up with. I think that the fear of damaging a child can be paralyzing for a new parent, or at least that was my experience 21 years ago. In the end, you educate yourself, do your best, and give them love, love and more love. And also forgive yourself for the many mistakes and be willing to make reparations the best you can, because there will be mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI believe that if an adult now or a mother/father and had a bad expierence within our childhood, we are the ones to make that difference and choose the paths that we lead. Everyone makes mistakes and we grow from them, that's just what we do as humans!
