The Way You Raise Your Children Will Affect Them For The Rest of Your Life
You can find articles and websites about how to raise your children. But do any of them actually make your child better? That is all down to opinion. One article that I found on this topic was from a website called Very Well. In the article I found Parenting Styles: What They Are and Why They Matter by Kendra Cherry she mentioned that developmental psychologist did a study on one-hundred preschool children. According to this article Authoritative parenting has resulted in ¨happy, successful, and capable children…and achieve a higher self-esteem¨. One parenting style that they mentioned at the end doesn’t have a name but it is when the mother is authoritative and that dad shows more of a permissive side.
In my opinion I think that parenting has a major factor in children. If a parent spoils their child their whole life, the child may think that, that is how it is going to be for the rest of their life. The article I read; Parenting Tips: Spoiling Children At A Young Age Can Lead To Long-Term Effects shows the long term effects of spoiling a child. If a child is raised spoiled then they might have trouble with socializing, being independent, and may be irresponsible. When the child goes to college they might have trouble socializing because they counted on their parents all their life. Unfortunately their parents are not going to be there for them there whole life so they should try to be more independent and not count on their parents.
The way children were disciplined in the 1930’s may be different from the way they are disciplined now. In the 1930’s The Great Depression had a big impact on parents and their children. Most children ran around and did most things they couldn’t do then or maybe now. In the 1930’s the children had set rules and punishments if they did not follow the rules. If they got in trouble at school they would get hit by a paddle, a ruler, or a switch. If they got punished at home it would be harsh and quick. There was more physical punishment as a child and more stricter punishment.
Child punishment now is more at ease now. Many or some parents punish their child with a time out, warning, taking their phone away, not being able to go out, or maybe just getting yelled at. According to CNN physiologist said spanking is not good for a child. A recent study says that a 5 year old that is spanked goes to elementary school with greater behavior problems. In my opinion I believe spanking a child is a form of punishment and may help a child. A parent should put up rules a child should know what is right and what is wrong. At school a child’s punishment is not being with a paddle it might be a detention or a suspension maybe even expelled. The principal will call the parents and might hold a meeting with teachers, administration, parents, and if worse a sheriff. I believe children should have a stricter punishment at school.
