The Controversy Of Raising A Child

Ever wonder what adoption is like? There are many opinions about how people should view adoption and how they view it themselves. This is an ethical issue because many people view this differently according to their race, religion, family and even society can influence the way you view how adoption is too a person, There are two sides with ethical issues so in this paper, I will show you both sides of adoption.

These are my beliefs also, that if you raise your children right and give them a good steady foundation they won't part from it like you mention in your post. They may even pass the same good values that were taught to them to their children as well. I think this should start at a very young age with a child; because if a parent tries to address this matter when the child becomes of age it will be very difficult to

I could not help but think that I may forget and leave her in the car, or rush out the house and leave her home alone. I know that may sound crazy, but I always doing things that. I remember my mom telling me everyday that if my head was not already attached to my body, I would lose it. It's crazy because in health class we did the whole egg baby project, and needless to say I left my poor little defenseless baby egg on the school. Since that day, everyone would always tell me that a baby would not be for me. But regardless of how I felt, this baby was coming into this world whether I wanted it too or not. I have no choice but to grow up, accept responsibility and get prepared. So instead of relaxing and hanging out friends, I went to college and work and saved the money to prepare for the few months that I could not work.

We had just celebrated the new year, a sign of new beginnings. The past fall my mother and I had a fight and were only communicating on a need to know. I had a boyfriend at the time, we had been dating for almost two years. I loved him and he loved me and I felt like nothing could ever go wrong, boy was I wrong. It was a cold morning, I woke up feeling strange but I could not quite figure out why. Jacob, my boyfriend, was the one who put the idea in my head. A couple hours later my life had went from just a normal nineteen year old, to being a nineteen year old facing being a mother. I was pregnant and there was nothing I could do to change that. Telling my parents, especially my mother was nearly impossible, “[a]nd after seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die” (Tan 321).

At the age of 16 I had my son Ezikel, he is now six years old and is a wild, exciting, creative young boy he is my biggest blessing. When I found out I was going to have a child at such a young age I had one thing on my mind and that was “I refuse to be a statistic” I went on to find a high school for teen moms; Florence Crittenton High School, I was determined to graduate high school and move on to college. I completed High School in 2011 and got a scholarship I went to CCD but I felt it wasn’t quick enough for me , I felt as if I had to rush and get a career to support me and my son. I then went to working dead end jobs I felt like a failure, this is not what I planned on for my post high school life, I felt ashamed and I had let my son down.

There are numerous philosophies on how to raise children. Several parents adopt the concepts their own parents used, others seek advice from friends and there are those that read books about parenting. Parents come in various and diverse forms, each approaching parenting in ways as distinct as their personalities. Philosophies on child rearing can be grouped into two styles; authoritarian, authoritative parenting. These two styles are similar sounding, but have nuanced differences.

Finding out about my pregnancy was a huge shock to me. It likely that among five young adult, three are likely to have unplanned pregnancy which is my situation. The semester already started before I realize that I was pregnant. And never believe that I was pregnant. This was my first pregnancy, and going through morning sickness was not an exciting stage in my life. I was living at the school dorm in Gainesville, but also transit to Dallas, Tx for my appointment. The father of my baby showed less concern

“Many of us remain blind to aspects of our own cultural heritage until we see them in relation to the practices of others.” I believe this means that cannot see the full picture because we are unable to see beyond what we believe. Ideas are formed based on tradition and culture and people refuse to look for other ideas based on a different culture. The World has many traditions and cultural ideas, especially when it comes to children. I believe that looking into the way some culture’s view child rearing and the responses that the children have, we will be able to have an understanding and respect of how each child is different. The article Respect and Equal Access highlights the importance of showing “...respect for all people by understanding race, class, linguistic background and gender…” This is necessary for life as an educator and as a person in general.

How many people have told their child how smart they are? How intelligent they have become because they can distinguish from the color red and the color blue? Many I suppose, because that’s what a good parent says to their kids when they do something good. What if the way some children are being raised isn’t the correct way? By the correct way means with the correct mentality to go on with life, education, and the struggles that they can have in their future. As parents, we want our kids to feel confident with themselves and what they are capable of doing, and becoming the key to that is each parent’s goals. They want their children to feel confident in the society they live in and expect their way of raising them to be the in-between.We

When I was 17 I found out that I was pregnant with my son Tyrese it was a really shocking moment for me .when I had my son and when I held him for the first time I knew I couldn’t give up on school because my mother motivated me to stay in school when I thought I couldn’t do it but it’s not just about me because I have to make a better life situation for him and for me as an young adult.

Raising a child isn't an easy thing to do. Raising a child while the parents are still in their teens is even harder. Dealing with the day to day chores that involves a baby and trying to work and get an education is very stressful on any teen.

Early childhood development meant may be defined as the critical years of education for toddlers. During these years they become increasingly aware of their surrounds and the behavior. Children will adapt to the behaviors which are visual to them. During these years child absorb more information than the average adult over a 4 year span. This is because their sole purpose is to learn and grow. As parents, we have to be very aware of the surrounds and things we present them with. Behavior learned now will carry out. The question of teaching them moral ethics at this point is a controversial issue.

In the independent model of parenting lots of praise is given. When I become a parent I plan to praise my child when they do tasks on their own. Praise will give the child confidence and perseverance to continue to do well. Children who never get praised may end up feeling like a disappointment or failure to their parents. It’s important for children to find their voice and not always have a parent speak up for them like in the interdependence model. I also believe it’s extremely important for a child to sleep in their own room. “The Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend co-sleeping because Western beds are not designed for that'd infant deaths are attributed to parents’ rolling over on the child.” (Brooks, 2013) Co-sleeping is not only

At first I wanted to believe that what my parents were saying weren’t true because I would never understand on why would they want another child. However when I realized they were serious about it, I started to panic because the first thing that came to my mind was that I’m being replaced by this new baby. I started to question myself and imagine things like how my parents won’t love me as much as they used to and how my older siblings won’t even bother minding me anymore. More unwanted thoughts came into my mind and that’s when I lost it, I started to cry every single day and made sure that everyone in my family knew that I was not happy about it all. Although my parents tried to explain the reason why they wanted to

Father: There were some tough moments during the pregnancy. Most parents worry themselves crazy or sick during pregnancy and we were no different. We were both on the older side to be first time natural parents, so that was a concern.
