To be a father is not hard, but rather to act like a father needs time to demonstrate that. The father is the main source of income and dominant provider of the family. He settles on the significant family choices together with mother and with the assistance of different individuals. This is the customary part of the father. Fathers and moms have novel contrasts that make them have distinctive child rearing parts, that when joined, give the most far reaching model to help the child grow effectively. Consequently, kids require both parents to help them build up the skills to help them assemble fruitful social relations, take part in dependable conduct, build up the confidence and abilities to be effective in school and to wind up…
The concerned parent attempts to provide all that is needed for their children to grow and developed into acceptable, productive members of society. The nurturance can sometimes become challenging and even gruesome as together, child and parents, travel through the stages of development. Kail and Cavanaugh (2010), describes two dimensions of parenting. The first dimension relates to the amount of affection and concern presented by the parent (warmth). They are genuine in displaying loving care at one end of the spectrum. They integrate into every aspect of their child’s life from a warm and caring perspective. The other end of the spectrum presents the opposite scenario. At this end there is little or no display of warmth and affection. These parents are too busy doing for themselves with no regards to what is happening as their children proceed through the stages of development. They are mostly not involved in their child’s lives. The second dimension (control) involves what can be described as either a dictatorship or freelance. Control is the key element (or the lack of). The controlling parent is one who dictates everything their child does; little or no autonomy is given. There is, on the other end of this spectrum, those parents who allow their child to make their own decision with no need to ask them or worry about any consequences from the choices they make in life (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2010). This paper will address the various parenting styles and the social, emotional developmental aspects associated with each concerning the development of a 10 year old.…

| Babies develop very strong bonds with their parents and main contact at the beginning, this will help them to develop their social, emotional and behavioural development. Babies who grow up in a secure environment and the confidence that “mum” is close by will have an easier time with socialisation. As children are developing they will learn how to play side by side. This stage in their development also sees a time when children become frustrated and this leads to tantrums!…
Mothers have always been the role model when it comes to nurturing and child rearing. However, since the last couple of years have seen Fathers play a crucial role in the upbringing of children. Take the example of celebrities like David Beckham, Will Smith and Johnny Depp who have shown deep bonding with their babies and have become role models. Melanie Mallers, professor of Pyschology at the California State University states that, “Fathers play a hugely important role in the mental health of their children much later in life.”…
I observed this family in one setting alone. Observations need to be completed on different fathers’ interactions with their children in different settings. The father at the mall may have been uninvolved at the mall but he could be very involved at other settings like a soccer game etc. Also, a lot of factors may have caused him to not interact with the children and that can also be the reason for his actions. Other extraneous factors were not considered.…
Nurture versus nature is a well-known controversial debate that will never be resolved. Family relationships constitute the most significant component in the development of a child. There are four components of family functioning that influence the mental growth of children. One factor is affection and nurturance. Children with parents who are affectionate and nurturing are likely to be attached to their parents compared to parents that are less affectionate in nurturing towards their children. Clarity and consistency of rules is the second aspect. Parents that have set rules that are constantly set have kids who are less likely to be noncompliant and disobedient. The third aspect is the level of expectancy that the parent has set for their child. Studies show that parents who have high expectancy towards their children have a high self-confidence, there more appreciative and they are more caring towards others. Effective open communication between the parent and the child would be the final aspect. Children who have open communication towards their parents research states that they are economically and emotionally stable. The aspects mentioned above explain various categories and together they form parenting styles.…
I conducted this study using natural observation as well as interviewing. For the study I stayed with my two friends, one female and one male, as well as their two children of opposite sexes. During the observation I would wake up in the morning with either mother or father and the two children. During this time I would sit and observe the way both parents would interact…
These days, many people tend to make choices without truly thinking things through. Which unfortunately is hurting our society big time. Many people choose to procreate, which add on to the difficulties they currently have. These are the kind of individuals that end up having children everywhere and seemingly claim to, "Have everything together." In the article, "Man who had 30 kids with 11 women wants a child-support break," Desmond Hatchett persistently engaged with several females and had up to 24 children with 11 women. It seems slightly fine if you are able to give all kids equivalent attention and provide them with their needs.…
The alarm clock goes off, time to get ready for school. That’s the Monday through Friday routine for most parents and children. Weekends consist of either sleeping in or running errands. A child without a mother or a child without a father struggles throughout their life. It is very important that once parents make the choice to have a child that they realize the responsibilities that they will have upon their child’s arrival. Caring for a child starts from the day it is formed in the wound and never ends. Statistics show that children with both a motherly and fatherly influence are more successful.…
