If by all means I would do a research that benefits children and families, I would choose Parenting. I can say this in the area where I live at majority of the parents just don’t know how to be a good parent. I remember as when I was growing up as a child young or older children had to be in house when the street light came on. Not outside but inside the house I look at how time has changed so much. I just don’t understand why children can do more of what they want to do at a young age. It’s not all on the children because they only do what their parents allow them to do which most children think it’s great. But how I see how most parents are laughing at their children when they use profanity words at the age 5 and 6yr old. Never correct what the child is doing is wrong and that it’s not nice to talk like that using profanity words. There are so many parents’ that are too relax and with the lack of being a parent. Most parents are not teaching their children structure, respect others and yourself, plus values of an education. When I was a reading tutoring one of my students siblings who I was trying to encourage to do his work so that he can pass the 4th grade. The little boy looked up at me and then said he don’t care about his grades or going to the 5th grade. Why should I care it’s not like the school is paying me any money. I was amazed from hearing what that little boy had told me but it all come from good parenting he had let me known so much in saying that. Most parents mix the relationship up of being a parent and more of being a child friend to be cool with the children or child. But I am happy I came up the old way I value everything in how I was raised from a child into an adult. I would love to do the research in parenting to give many parents who don’t know how to be a parents also for the parents who need help in the area. By doing this research I hope to gain skill on trying to give those parents who need help in parenting resources to improve in parenting skills.

Research that Benefits Children and Families—Uplifting Stories
Option 1: Share a positive example of the effects of research on children and/or families: Perhaps you can provide real-life examples of research benefits to children and/or families; maybe you are familiar with stories of people who have been positively affected by research; or you came across a published research article concerning children or families which you find exciting and would like to share with your colleagues.

ReplyDeleteI think that research into this area would provide society many benefits. I would like to know what has happened to society in the last twenty years or so, and what has caused the differences in my generation to the generation of children that we have today.
The only word of caution would be presenting information that included cultural differences and not bias. Because we live in a culturally rich society I would feel that many factors would have to be taken into consideration, as well as my own personal bias as to what I feel good parenting is.

Tracy, I think your observations are correct in that parenting and structure in homes has changed quite a bit. There is a large generation that tries to parent by friendship, or has lax rules and structure that teaches children nothing and allows for opportunities to struggle. It's a slippery slope though, since the way a person chooses to parent is sometimes just that - a choice. They have learned behaviors that have been passed down to them, or personal beliefs that are hard to change. I know I struggle when we find ourselves working hard to help a child and see so much potential and change in them but know that the parents are not necessarily supporting our teaching and is not on the same page as us. In the end, that confuses the child so much more and teaches them they can get away with certain things certain places, or that they only need to respect some people etc. It's a confusing message to send. In a perfect world, all parents would be open to learning and understanding their child's social and emotional growth. - Megan Strella (Adventures of a Director)
ReplyDeleteTracy,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, as a society are mostly to blame for the lack of parenting skills present today. In recent years, the advances in technology and the media have allowed and even encouraged a hands-off approach to parenting. Parents are using TVs as babysitters and buying young children phones and tablets worth hundreds and thousands of dollars. I am not saying it is a bad thing but when a child has access to games and social media 24/7 and no real parental guidance to balance out and monitor the things they see at such an influential age.... what do we expect? I do think we need more research into the area of Parenting and how older methods can be updated and incorporated into the digital age.
