    Summary Of Stone Soup By Barbara Kingsolver

    The article “Stone Soup” by Barbara Kingsolver has influenced my perspective majorly when it comes to viewing family types. Coming from a “broken family,” this article was interesting to read about and see the author’s viewpoint on divorce and family issues. I was a child when my parents divorced, and so I did not necessarily realize the impact of the decision they had made with each other; this new change did not process as a “bad” to me. According to Kingsolver, her daughter did not either. Her daughter saw the benefits of her parents separating: “...our house is in the country and we have a dog, but she can go to her dad’s neighborhood for the urban thrills of a pool and sidewalks for roller-skating” (Kingsolver 14). I relate to this because…

    Separation Anxiety in Children

    Many parents are all too familiar with the cries of their child that seem to be impossible to calm and the child that clings to their leg when they are about to leave. The terrible twos are not the only dreaded stage of child development; this is what is commonly known as separation anxiety. "Separation anxiety is a developmental stage during which the child experiences anxiety when separated from the primary care giver…" (McPherson, 2004). Separation anxiety varies widely from child to child and most commonly occurs between the ages of eight months to two and a half. There are several different causes of separation anxiety, ways to manage separation anxiety to make it easier for both the child and the parent, and symptoms and warning signs to look out for that a child may exhibit. Certain warning signs that may be prevalent may sometimes indicate a deeper issue that may be caused from something other than separation anxiety.…

    Personal Narrative: Divorce At Home

    I grew up believing that everything happens for a reason, and everything will have a positive side to it, no matter how bad it may seem. However, when my mom came to my brothers and I and said that she was going to move out and get a divorce from our dad, the world stopped turning and I knew that things were going to take a turn for the worse. There had been little details and signs that I should have payed more attention to, but I didn’t. After that I knew that things were going to be different. I didn’t know who I was going to live with, and I understood that one parent typically pays the other child support, and I didn’t want either of my parents to have to do that. After that, the vibe at home was very tense, with my mom and dad fighting,…
