“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.
The Erosion of Childhood says “The child lives in open communication with the world, and the world in turn invites open exploration from the child.” This means children and the worlds are always affecting each other. The bi-directional communication between the world and the child sets the stage for whom the child will grow up to be. So this is relative in terms of environment. Cultural heritage plays a big role in the world and the child. Rebecca Bernstein says “in the Polynesian Islands, it’s not uncommon for “older” children (think toddler and preschool age) to take care of younger ones — even those who are not their
During the 16th century in England, upper class families had a strict and disciplinary way of child-rearing due to their perceptions of children. They viewed children as being confused sinners, whom needed to be taught in a harsh and strict environment in order to learn and become wholesome. For example, in Doc 1A, babies are described as “wayward and impulsive...altogether inclined to evil.” This perspective comes from a religious standpoint: a Calvinist minister named Robert Cleaver. This is a predictable point-of-view, because the religious believed that babies were sinners who must be disciplined and educated in order to become good (Doc 1A). However, there was a drastic change in the next couple of centuries. In the 17th century, children
The UN Convention on the rights of the child article 28 says that ''Every child has the right to an education'' article 2 says'' The convention applies to every child whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, abilities, whatever they think or say, no matter what type of family they come from''. Schools have a duty to adhere to this legislation, they way that they do this is by adopting anti-discriminatory and inclusive practices. In order for us to promote these practices we must firstly understand how they impact on children and young people and what would happen if we did not promote them.
It is important to adopt a human rights approach to care and education in practice as children are looked upon as vunerable in society as they cannot express or defend themselves, therefore they need us to do that for them. Every child is equal no matter what gender, ethnicity, religion, language or ability. Because of this, every child should have their rights valued and respected in a care and education practice. Not only is it upto the carer in education practice to make sure that a human rights approach is adopted, but it is upto everyone. Many people say that being in school/nursery is the best years of their lives therefore it is upto us to make sure that in a care or education practice that a human rights approach is taken to ensure that this is the same for all children. It is important to adopt a human rights approach so that all children are developing and learning to their full potential. Also, when at school/nursery, the way others act towards you could impact on how you act towards others. Therefore, by making sure the children are meeting their rights will then hopefully make sure that they will make sure others do.
There is an issue within this scenario that involves respecting diverse child rearing practices. Student teacher Maryam politely asks Hugh and Ahmed to pack up, but Di pulls her aside and lets her know that Ahmed’s cultural practices does not expect him to do so. This becomes an ethical dilemma because Di has implanted a policy that benefits the cultural practices of a single client, while another client’s child suffers from unfair treatment. In the perspective of Di, she focuses more on her teaching profession and integrating the core values of a teacher into her policy (Newman & Pollnitz, 2005). However, In Maryam’s perspective, her personal and professional values come in conflict along with the code of conduct that is put in place by the
Deduction and induction are two types of arguments that are commonly utilized in our society in order to have a better output. The Raise is an interactive scenario that is based on participative discussion between employer and employee in order to have a raise in organizational position and rewards. It is the desire of every man to have a respectable organizational job along with raise after a certain interval of time.
As teenagers, you have friends to turn to when you have a question. Moving through life, you can rely on books to help you navigate relationships or obtain answers to child rearing questions. Sadly, when it comes to caring for aging parents, there seems to be a lack of resources for children faced with this task. Many families are now struggling to raise kids and care for elderly parents at the same time and we are here to help in this endeavor, as it is one we are struggling with personally.
There maybe physical signs of being different, for instance, gender, race, and wearing clothing such as a veil or a turban. There could even be a language barrier with new immigrations, where only the child can speak english. However, some differences may not be initially visible, for example, wearing a hearing aid or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Practitioners must remember, we are all individuals and promote equality and not to focus on what they assume people will see or think looking at the child but on how the child is feeling (The Open University, 2016 A). It is important to note however, that with increased immigration and evolving society, attitudes have changed. You only need to look at the evidence of the women 's rights movement from the 19th century, to see how people 's attitudes have changed to gender discrimination. Where in the present women are not regarded as a second-class citizen. I will be discussing disability and racism further, where it involves children and how it can affect them and their families. I will define the different types of discrimination and the situations that children and families’ face. I will discuss how the practitioners can challenge discrimination and provide support using case studies for examples.
Throughout the forces of nature versus nurture, biological or hereditary information and day to day interactions that children encounter in their environment play a significant role in childhood development. The feeding and communication milestones are associated with childhood development and are important to the overall expansion of the individual. Each milestone is outlined and portrays what an individual should have accomplished within the period. Throughout a home or teaching practices used in elementary or secondary education, common practices in child-rearing are enforced. There are several positive and negative effects of each child-rearing practice that could be changed to promote better individual development and growth.
The call for more literate people in this world is growing higher but the people in the twenty-first century are struggling with this because they’re meeting the standards. Illiteracy is a bigger problem than most people think it is. It affects how kids learn, people wanting a job or trying to get one, teens trying to go to college, it affects everyone even our economy.
Educators must model respect for diversity and fairness and thereby encourage others to do the same (especially the children in their care). This behaviour will also set the example for others to critically think about how they identify and work with fair and unfair behaviour in the childcare centre. The emphasis should be on respecting others, celebrating differences and becoming familiar with shared characteristics between children, staff and families.
According to the article middle aged parents with higher income provide more emotional and material support to grown children. Grown children with parents of lower education are more likely to co-reside with them. Lower income families provide more total support to all children except financial support. The economy has played a major factor in grown children cohabitating with their parents. Finding a job is much more difficult, and inflation is on the rise.
However, the discrimination has brought us to the different level of status and it really gives high impact especially to the children. They get lost in their world as everyone condemned them and react in the way that they do not deserve to accept. Why must we act injustice and being too nonsense with the children that does not know the meaning of life. They just need freedom to seek knowledge on life, being mingle with their friends at their age, share story and laugh freely, run and see the world that they use to step, but the action that show sense of inhumanity towards them because they are different from their child, has ruin their freedom of life as child and the meaning of life to them. On another notes, the words and experienced that being conveyed by the author in this book has give inspiration to me in valuing the freedom and justice that I have.
The article (“Raising Children: A Character-based Approach To Residential Child Care",2014) disguises how the understanding of ethical behaviour is difficult to teach to a young child. We don't have the same perspective on life as the child and we don’t know what they go through in their everyday lives, so it's difficult to show them the importance of ethical behaviour. In order to grow well we must develop some of the following virtues wisdom,justice,courage, temperance (Barnes and Thomson,2002). He broke down virtues into two parts, virtues intellectual and virtues morals. Intellectual which can learnt by an educational background and morals which is learnt by some sort of experience, such as by a role model. Right reasoning, emotion,
At the beginning it is necessary for us to clarify two basic concepts and what it means care in general and child care. The main task of care centres is health education, promoting health awareness of the population and thus achieve a greater activity and involvement in the care and responsibility for their own health for each individual. Child care requires careful attention to the victims, especially when it is still young. Some children are more problematic than others. It is important to balance the Child, which monitors Behold doctor, who will consider whether neonatal good nutrition. If we look back into the past may find that already existed in ancient times' child care centre is not in such great numbers as at present, because in the
My main point is that both of the parents cannot be off hunting for their food or in today’s world, we call it working, someone needs to stay home and raise and tend to the kids. Now, it does not matter who stays home and raises the kids it could be the female or the male, I just used the prehistoric pattern of raising offspring. I know the saying it takes a village to raise kids and this may be beneficial if extended family partake in the child rearing. However, I do not think ordinary day cares workers should not be the ones looking after our children. They are not qualified for such a task, nor are they motivated to do what is best for the child, only the extended family would be truly motivated for what is best for the child.
