The adversities mentioned above are what single parents experience, causing them to feel despondent. Being unhappy has a great impact on people, especially on their well-being which is why it is essential to have a positive outlook on living. Single parents, being unhappy, may affect the way they approach caring for their children as well as their perspectives about life. With that, this study incorporates positive psychology to help them look at life in a positive light amidst challenges. Positive Psychology is a developing branch of psychology which enhances positive and versatile human attributes (Snyder and Lopez, 2009). It is concerned with examining positive aspects of life including accomplishments, commitments, meaning, and relationships. This study aspires to determine the correlation between happiness and resilience among single parents to be able to accentuate that even though they experience a lot of hardships, they are made aware of how to bounce back and still manage to find happiness in life.

Single parenting is not an easy process to execute since it means being alone in taking care of all the responsibilities in a household. Single parents are those individuals who play a dual role in a family; as a father and as a mother. As discussed in the study of Stephen and Udisi (2016), single parenthood is not new in society as it has always been existing even before; however, its meaning is complicated as it changed and varied across time (Nieuwenhuis & Maldonado, 2018). Single parenthood can either be single mothers or single fathers that handle the whole family by themselves. According to the study of Maldonado (2017), single parents mostly experience insufficiency in terms of resources that make it arduous for them to provide for their household which complicates their lives. With this kind of adversity, their strength as the steady figure in the household is being tested that is why being resilient is an important character trait in order to circulate toughness as well as to maintain the ideal state inside the household. The study recognizes two variables in opposition to these obstructive attributes; namely, resilience and happiness.

As per the American Psychological Association (2014), Resilience is the way toward adaptability notwithstanding difficulty, injury, disaster, dangers, or even critical wellsprings of stress. Resilience theory covers a variety of aspects that talk about the effect of testing occasions on people and families and how well they have adjusted to adversities. Research encompassing strength is driven by these inquiries: (1) What is the distinction for kids whose lives are undermined by drawbacks or affliction? (2) How could it be that a few kids effectively conquered serious life difficulties and grow up to lead an able and composed life? The responses to these inquiries would give significant procedures for actualizing the impacts of affliction on kid advancement and prosperity (Masten, 2011).

Resilience as a theoretical construct was acquainted with scientific research during the 1980s. Hypothetical foundations for understanding resilience emerged from longitudinal examinations on personality qualities in adolescents (Gąsior, Chodkiewicz, and Cechowski, 2016). Resilience is denied in two regards: (1) as a personality property, a generally steady disposition, which determines flexibility to changing life necessities ( Grzankowska and Ślesińska-Sowińska, 2016) and (2) as a process of versatile ability to beat negative life occasions (Piórowska et al., 2017). Resilience is moderately steady and develops for an incredible duration.

An increased level of well-being results from numerous variables including surviving negative encounters and creating resilience (Wong, 2010). Everly (2009) theorized that a person’s capacity to have low or high resilience might be identified with either being happy or remorseful. To nurture resilience one must, most likely, manage stress successfully in light of the fact that affliction will undoubtedly occur sooner or later in each individual’s life. Being resilient advances wellbeing and happiness. To promote resilience one must make inward strength by utilizing activities, convictions, and principles. Activities incorporate social help, using sound judgment, taking responsibility, carrying on with a healthy lifestyle, and beliefs that incorporate being idealistic and having confidence.

Happiness is firmly identified with subjective well-being (Diener, 2011) and infers that individuals think and feel that their lives are going well (Lucas and Diener, 2009). For most people, being happy is the main objective throughout everyday life (Bojuwoye and Sylvester, 2012). Happiness is significant on the grounds that it has been observationally found to prompt positive personal, conduct, physical, mental and social outcomes (Diener and Chan, 2011). Thus, happiness is not just a significant objective in itself yet additionally a significant impact upon other significant life domains (Diener and Ryan, 2009). In light of its results, happiness at that point proposes emotional prosperity for people as well as cultural speculation (Diener et al., 2009).

More recent studies, assessed by happiness and life-satisfaction surveys, convey long-term trends in subjective well-being and welfare reform conjecture to the increase of happiness of single mothers over the last few decades (Ifcher 2011; Ifcher and Zarghamee 2011; Herbst 2012). Although this is the case, it is worth noting that single parents have greater tendencies to experience chronic stress than married ones (Cairney et al. 2003 cited by Stack & Meredith, 2018). Within a study about single mothers conducted by Booth (2013), it was stated that compared to major negative events, Lyubomirsky (2013) was cited in discussing that minor negative events faced by women in their daily lives do not induce the same effective coping skills applied to the former. This gives support to the statement mentioned that along with the constant emotional, physical, and psychological support provided to children, enjoyment in every moment of mothering is scarce rather than prevailing. Even though this is the case, peak-end theory, as explained by Kahneman in the mid-1990s, is the representation of experiences by its peak level of pain or pleasure (Holt, 2011). Booth (2013), who is previously mentioned, utilized the said theory in investigating mothers, describing that while they do not find pleasure in folding laundry or dealing with temper tantrums, peak moments included in the experience of parenting like graduation, or a child’s first employment may aid in viewing childcare as meaningful and rewarding.
Topic: family

In particular, researchers found that while measuring people’s feelings during and remembering life events, the detailed moment-to-moment evaluations do not encapsulate the retrospective evaluations of the said events; rather, peak and end moments determine how experiences are remembered (Diener, Wirtz, & Oishi, 2001; Fredrickson & Kahneman, 1993; Kahneman, Fredrickson, Schreiber, & Redelmeier, 1993; Redelmeier & Kahneman, 1996; Wirtz, Kruger, Scollon, & Diener, 2003; Mogilner & Norton, 2018). Related to the supporting statement for the theory above, Theobald and Cooper (2012) stated that the ‘scarcity’ of happiness seems to be a factor for desiring it; not being happy all the time leads to having the tendency to cherish the memory of it. Coupled with how peak and end moments elucidate the process of retaining memories, the preference for happiness, in this case, becomes valuable to single parents in maintaining a positive view towards raising their children. This positive view is included in mental well-being as it is experienced by mentally-well people having the capacity to enhance healthy relationships with others, possesses emotional literacy, manage disputes without manipulation, experience joy, able to cope, and be resilient; (Rahman, Ansari, & Parveen, 2016) all are factors that can aid in parenthood.

As attested by various researches including Cheeseman (2010) in her research about the resilience of single mothers, albeit qualitative methods are significant in distinguishing potential instruments and procedures, these findings are most dominant when connected with quantitative methods to affirm their interceding impacts to empower support for the proposed hypothesis. To this end, these findings could be utilized as a foundation to research the resilience and happiness of the proposed components and their intervening impacts with regards to single parenthood. Moreover, the field remains limited in conceptualizing and measuring the change in single parents as referenced in a research study about promoting strength and resilience in single-mother families. Most researchers stay concentrated on evaluating psychopathology, for example, anxiety, and depression (Taylor, 2017). In any case, low levels of anxiety and depression do not really compare with “wellbeing.” In addition, other measures are likely expected to precisely assess the mental wellbeing and prosperity of single parents. Furthermore, recent studies about resilience focus more on people with post-traumatic stress disorder (Southwick, et al., 2014). Hence, there has been relatively little research that investigated the connection between single parenthood and resilience. As a result, the researchers proposed resilience and happiness among single parents.
Topic: family

This study focuses on single parents and is designed to know the relationship between resilience and happiness among single parents. This study also desires to recognize the extent of happiness and resilience of the single parents; therefore, in order to do that, the researchers formulated two hypotheses: (1) Ho: There is no significant correlation between happiness and resilience among single parents and (2) Ha: There is a significant correlation between happiness and resilience among single parents. Through these hypotheses, the researchers will be able to identify if there is a correlation between the two variables.

The researchers utilized two theories, namely Resilience Theory and Peak-end Theory, that will enable them to properly attain the data and to meet the objectives of the study. First and foremost, the Resilience Theory which is basically about the resiliency of individuals⁠—how they adapt to difficulties and how they overcome their struggles. With the help of this theory, the way single parents bounce back despite several challenges on their way will be discerned. Secondly, which is also the last theory, the Peak-end theory pertains to how people remember as well as attribute their experiences based on how they feel in a particular situation and how they interpret a specific event. Considering that emotions and feelings are able to embed in an individual’s perception, through this theory, the perspective-taking of single parents will be recognized, retaining a vital role in initiating happiness.

The amount of stress that occurs during this process, especially if you need to break up with someone, can be enormous. Arranged marriages help to take this problem away entirely. Families often work with one another when they come from a similar financial and social background. There is a desire to maintain the family culture and embrace the traditions of their ethnicity while still providing some freedoms for the couple to explore who they can become once the union is created. Because there is a certainty with most of these arrangements, couples have more time to get to know each other while pursuing interests that are personally important without the stress of wondering who might really be the right one for them.

On the other hand, we acknowledge sometimes in arranged marriage there is no dating, premarital sex, living together, or even physical interaction. These factors tend to make one of the couples showing their true characters after went through all the dramas when nobody else watching them. They might be aggressive toward their partners which leads to abuse or the beginning of domestic violence. For example, sometimes the wives are treated like slaves and being punished for not doing their domestic work on time such as preparing everyday meals. This is because marry a person without knowing any details about his/her background might be risky or life-threatening. Thus, arranged marriage not always a good solution to end a bachelor/bachelorette phase of life.
Topic: family

Arranged marriages often limit the choices that a couple has one selecting a life partner. The only way to change your life circumstances is to locate a family who is willing to let you “marry up.” Sometimes families even use the structure as a way to limit the outside influences of “undesired” genetics, cultures, or stereotypes from entering into their family structure. Imagine Muslim parents creating a marriage to prevent their son from marrying someone who practices Christian or Sikh parents choosing a partner because they fear that societal discrimination won’t permit individualism and you’ve got an idea of how severe this disadvantage can be.

It is the world’s well-known article that sparked heated discussion across the world. Despite our squeamishness about cultural stereotypes, there are tons of studies out there that show marked and quantifiable differences when it comes to parenting between Chinese and Westerners. For instance, the fact is that Chinese parents can do things that seem unimaginable to Westerners even legally incapable of action Chinese mothers can say “Hey fatty lose some weight” to their daughters (Amy Chua, 2011).
Topic: family

Western parents, on the other hand, have to tiptoe around the issue, talk about “health” and never mention the f-word, and their children still end up in eating disorders and negative self-image therapy. Nearly 70 percent of Western mothers in one survey of 50 Western American mothers and 48 Chinese immigrant mothers said either that “stressing academic achievement is not good for children” or that “parents need to cultivate the idea that learning is enjoyable.
Topic: family

” On the other hand, about 0 percent of the parents in the East felt the same way. Instead, the vast majority of Chinese mothers said they believed that their children could be the best students, that academic achievement reflects successful parenting, and if children did not excel at school, this means that parents were not doing their job. It is known that the book is not called “Why Chinese mothers are superior”. The Wall Street Journal made up that title for their article. Anyone who continues to use this title did not try to read the book.
Topic: family

Amy Chua mentions in this article that children raised by Chinese mothers often seem to be more successful in life than Western mothers raised. In this case, the author introduces that parent values are the main cause of the difference; whereby strict environment and strong children’s education, adapted by Chinese parents, help to control children’s progress. The author uses a case involving 50 Western mothers and 48 U.S.-based Chinese mothers. The results of the study showed that Chinese mothers believed that academic success is directly related to good parenting. Chua also notes that, unlike Western mothers who prefer sports, Chinese parents tend to give more time to educate their children. Even though Chua’s article is more biased against the American people and receives many negative feedbacks, her strong arguments clearly define that the Chinese parenting style dwells on the western one.
Topic: family

An author, however, cannot claim that as a result of one parenting can be better than the other because each one has a positive impact on their children in some way (Hanah Chao, 2011). Consequently, in her argument, the author left this unaddressed. The article also places more than a necessary emphasis on Chinese as a single parenting group, recognizing other ethnicities such as Korean as Chinese people. That is why it makes this article more racist against the American people and thus promotes the definition of prejudice.
Topic: family

To sum up, the comparisons help the readers think about the good and bad aspects of these two parenting styles, and the best way for their children. Chua may or may not explain adequately why Chinese mothers are superior, but she conveys a unique, idea of parenting against the average Western parents. Using the rhetorical triangle and personal anecdotes thoroughly, Chua begins to use emotional appeals and provide convincing statistics and evidence. Eventually, she convinces readers that the “Chinese” style of parenting is the best way for kids to succeed in the future.

Firstly, what is parenting? What are the styles and How does it work? Very simple parenting is an activity of raising up a child as a parent. It has been categorized by three at first but later on two physiologist Maccoby and Martin found that actually there are four different styles. Parenting is a complex activity that includes more than a specific behavior that works individually and together to influence a child outcome. Although specific behavior such as smacking or shouting out loud may influence positively or negatively on a child’s development, this could lead the children to be isolated or even been misloaded such as joining or become a gang member.

Before I start to describe the three different styles, I will explain the model I have used to verify styles as a picture.Baumrind’s parenting styles model has two axes. Each axis shows one of the Baumrind’s parenting themes which is ‘high’ in end and the other is ‘low’. Together these two axes of demandingness and responsiveness create four parts where each parenting styles is located: Most of the parents in Myanmar use Authoritarians parenting style. They used this because their ancestor has used this style to all generation and also most of them are not very well educated as the country was ruled by dictators.

A parent is known as the caretaker of a child, rather it is a biological parent, an adoptive parent, grandparents, other relatives, etc. Overall, a parent plays an important role in guiding their children during development. Also, parenting style is determining an effective factor that plays an important role in children’s growth. Therefore, a close relationship and a mutual understanding between children and their parents are highly recommended for a child’s development. The relationship of parents with children or parenting styles serves multiple purposes.

Several factors affect the academic performance of college students, but parenting style was one of the significant factors. The research method included a set of questionnaires asked 310 students about their received parenting styles and the obtained scores were correlated with the student’s transcripts. According to Zanhedani et al (2016), the results show that there was a significant relationship between the parents’ firm parenting style and the students’ educational success and this relationship is positive and direct. Zanhedani et al (2016) also say the correlation coefficient obtained shows that the relationship between these two variables is relatively high.

Parental conditional regard is when parents motivate their children to exhibit desirable behaviors by making parental affection contingent on the child‘s good or bad behavior. According to Grundman et al (2007), parental conditional regard leads a child to enact behaviors that did not agree with their personal identity and also been linked to low self-esteem. This shows that when parents ease off on their child’s life and let them grow then they’re more likely to be successful in life.

In regards to this chapter’s activity. I chose to do the parenting styles (option #1) and how they influence children. I feel like this is a topic that comes up more often than not in my current line of work. It’s also something that hits pretty close to home. My reasoning for this is that I’m the only person in my family that has any type of education beyond that of a high school degree. I also consider myself to be very successful in my career as I started at the bottom of a company and have worked my way up to almost the top of the business ladder at my current location.

The first one in the reading is called “Authoritarian Parenting” or is described by the parents having strict rules or procedures to follow. If these rules don’t get followed then there is usually some very strict punishment that will follow. The article refers to this style of parenting as the “Because I said so.” style. I have witnessed this style first hand growing up. One of my closest friend’s father was a drill instructor in the army and lets just say that this was his style of parenting.

Second, we have the “Authoritative Parenting” style. This parenting style is described as being more democratic then do as I say. I would have to say that this would be the way that my parenting style is currently with my son. He’s 10 years old and I like to think that I guide him more then direct him on thing in life. The reason why I say this is because he has the standard things like brush your teeth at least twice a day or take a shower at least once a day, but those are more guidelines that I feel that everyone should do. He has expectations that I think that just about anyone can have of their children and are reasonable. Although, when he doesn’t follow them. We have a sit-down discussion as to why they are important and the reasons that he should be following them. I try to stress the importance and how they will affect him in his current mindset and the future. This way he realizes the importance of said expectation or task.

In closing, I feel like many different things affect a person’s parenting style. These things can stem from how that particular person was raised. The timeframe they were raised in and the culture that they come from. I can honestly say that I think my style of parenting is that of the authoritative style. As I mentioned above in how I raise my own son. I am more democratic with him and try to help guide him with some pretty standard expectations. My upbringing has a lot to do with how I chose to raise my son. That and my experiences thus far in life. I have to deal with people all the time in my job and have learned certain way to deal or handle a lot of different situations. I try and teach him these things much earlier in life then I did or save him from learning the hard way in a sense.

When there is only one parent in a household, the children will not experience their missing parents’ behavior and strengths and even weaknesses. Humans imitate one another, so if kids do not have both parents to observe, they may not know how to act in a reasonable manner. A daughter will miss out on her mother’s feminine behavior; a son will miss out on his father’s masculine behavior. Without that example, they will develop in a manner that may not be socially acceptable.

When there is only one parent in a household, the children will miss the experience of how their parents interrelate with one another. Children will not see how parents support each other, how they fight and resolve disputes or the genuine affection between two loving parents. Children will most certainly miss seeing the daily interchange between a man and woman in a loving relationship. Along with not learning how to properly interact with people of the same gender as their missing parent, the absence of a parent also comes with financial insecurities.

Furthermore, It is far more common for one-parent families to be financially despondent. One-parent families generally struggle more financially. Most single parents work long hours in order to meet the financial needs of their families. The financial resources needed to run a household and raise children can be quite costly. Also, there may be times children are denied certain needs or desires than that which are provided to children in a two-parent household. In most situations, single parents have to juggle just to provide for basic financial commitments. The income of single-parent families often is unable to take the opportunities that are generally available to 2-parent families. For example, participation in sports, school clubs or even furthering their education. Dreams can be cut short due to the many financial concerns. Some children spend more time working to support their families than on their education. They are also more likely to experience the daily struggles of living poorly. The lone parent may encounter additional problems such as getting sick or laid-off, without a second income for backup. This creates insecure feelings towards the financial future of these children. A child will realize that he was not given the opportunity to enjoy many of the benefits that come along with financial security. The demise of his or her financial security might be overwhelmed by the emotional insecurity caused by a missing parent.
Topic: family

Emotional problems can develop as a result of an absent parent. Even when at home, the lone parent will have daily responsibilities, such as cooking, cleaning, or paying bills which will take time away from their children when they need them. Children with one parent may not feel cared for because a single parent is too busy to tend to their basic needs. This can create feelings of neglect which will put a constant strain on both parent and child. Also, children of single parents are more likely to suffer from self-esteem issues. Although unintentional, parents may have trouble finding a balance between the needs of the children and the demands of everyday life. Children are left craving more affection. In addition, children may be unaware of how to meet expectations in their future relationships. Children in single-parent households are at times inadequately supervised. Oftentimes the kids have to learn how to be more independent and take care of themselves at a younger age. There is a greater possibility of more injuries or getting into legal trouble, because of the lack of supervision.

Single-parent families are generally categorized by the sex of the custodial parent (mother-only or father-only families). Mother-only families include widows, divorced and separated women, and never-married mothers. In the case of divorce, mothers are usually given custody in the United States. In this definition, single-parent families may include cohabiting couples and do not include children living with married stepparents. Children who live in group quarters (for example, institutions, dormitories, or group homes) are not included in this calculation.

Today the time during with children live with one parent average averages longer( Mclanahan, S. ). According to national kids count, children growing up in single-parent families are 34% in 2017. American children are being raised by a single parent due in part to long-term declines in marriage and increases in births outside of marriage. Across this nation, single mothers and fathers advocate, nurture, juggle and sacrifice on behalf of their children. In the United Kingdom, women account for 86% of single parents with dependent children, the average age of single parents is 38 years of age, with approximately 60% of single parents caring for one dependent child. Single parent families are one representation of the range and diversity of family units in modern society(Golombok et al. 2016). Societal perceptions often construct single parents as young, female, unemployed parents with multiple children(Zartler, 2014). The share of children who are living with an unmarried parent varies by race and ethnicity. More than half (58%) of black children are living with an unmarried parent. At the same time, 36% of Hispanic children are living with an unmarried parent, as are 24% of white children. The share of Asian children living with unmarried parents is markedly lower (13%).

Poverty is the most profound and pervasive factor underlying the developmental problems of the children in single-parent families. Roughly, one of two families headed by a single parent is living in poverty compared with one of ten married couples with children (McLanahan & Booth, 1989). According to Pew Research Center, they found that 30% of solo mothers and their families are living in poverty compared with 17% of solo father families and 16% of families headed by a cohabiting couple. In comparison, 8% of married-couple families are living below the poverty line. Children from single-parent families are six times more likely to be poor. In the United States, the effects of single-parent family life on children fall into the lower economic status of single parents.

than parents in intact families (Amato & Keith, 1991). For example, single mothers exercise less supervision over their daughters’ dating, which in turn leads to earlier sexual activity (Hogan, D. P. & Kitagawa, E.M. 1985). Single parents are less effective disciplinarians – less authoritative and sure of themselves than are parents in two-parent families. Whatever their capabilities for managing their children, a couple can gang up on a teenager; a single parent cannot. Especially, in the first few years after a divorce, the children have higher rates of antisocial behavior, aggression, anxiety, and school problems than children due to a decrease in available resources and adult supervision.

The motive of this is to foreground the growing ideal apprehension and difficult social challenges children face that lives in single-parent homes.

While I was researching how single parenting influences children, and how single parents can lead their kids away from these trials and tribulations, it’s significant to look at the different elements that can have a negative effect (Miller 2001). The issue is not certainly single-parenting, but a composition of economic coerce unreliability, and dispute amongst the parents. Essentially, single parenting has an impact on a child. A single parent with enough assets may cater a stable environment in which children develop just as well as those who have both parents.

Every year there are more than one million babies that are born into an unmarried woman, which means that one-third of all children are brought into the world without a father figure. A single-family parent can result in many circumstances such as the death of the other parent, a parent who was never married, or a single adoptive or foster parent. These families inhabit in different areas, whether it’s big cities, suburbs, small towns, rich neighborhoods, and even in the poor. Single parents could face some good, some bad changes. They could experience the changes happening all together, which could be really frustrating because sometimes they have very little or no control of what’s occurring. They may suffer financially, mentally, physically, and emotionally.

This doesn’t mean that problems found in single-parent homes are because of the parent who raises the children. It can be associated to things other than single parenting. Single-parent households are generally less well-off financially and this may be a major cause of family problems. Low-income families face issues of lower education levels and lower economic achievement which can often leave the child feeling isolated and lonely (Vangorodska 2012). As well, children in single-parent households have little to no supervision, because by having the only parent in the households, that’s most likely not at home, due to being at work most of the time. It’s also less communication between the child and the parent.

If they keep their distance, do not immediately demand that they open their hearts, give them time to decide for themselves” (p. 102). Single parents should consider their children when looking for a dating partner and any decisions they make. A critical stage that requires patience, although Deal adds, most single parents never maintain patience. Dating at times can be difficult, especially when dating a crowd. Deal explains, dating with a crowd is when kids are engaged in the dating process, on some level, even when a parent does not believe they are. It is essential that the new partner be not only right for the single parent but also right for the children.

The initial ten years of the children live is a very important development phase in the overall development due to their character formation and many of the life habits establishment. The main characteristics of children to be developed are the sense of personal self-worth, the patterns of behavior, and the school experience. In the dysfunctional family, children feel that his parent are getting more effort because of his presence in their life he might not be happy and he might think his life is not worth for his family. Behavior is another concern that children will gain it from his parent and in case of that children are exposed to the bad behavior he is going to copy it and will apply it in the future as it is. Also, in a dysfunctional family, there will be a lot of issues letting the parent having continue fighting with each other which will impact their children knowledge gaining and they will not be apples to withstand the school pressure as well. Finally single-parent family will not be the best for the children but it would be better than a dysfunctional family.

In my opinion, there are many facts in the single-parent family showing that many things that they miss to provide for the children and even it cannot be provided like the full love from both mother and father. Also, the right guidance which can be provided by either father or mother is going to be missed as well. On the other hand, in a dysfunctional family parent presence are there but the continuous fight in front of their children will affect their children’s behavior. This behavior will generate many difficulties which will be reflected in their future and might lead to the rejection of their families or lead to negative behavior in their life if they couldn’t overcome. In the end, this opinion cannot be generalized on all families but we were trying to show that the single parent are not the best solution for the family structure and the even normal family can also have some failure impacting the children behave in the early stage of their life which is going to impact their future.

It was obvious that they were trying to figure out these issues in the single-parent family and the dysfunctional family to be resolved. Finally, this is the nature of the families in our life and gaps will be there but we are trying to minimize it to the optimum limit to have a successful family in our society.

Every child is unique. All children are different, no child is the same. So this means that all children will grow up at different speeds and different rates. Holistic development sees a child as a whole person. It sees all the child’s areas for development. Each area of development that children will develop in are dependant on one another. Even though there are different areas of development and people see them as different areas, they are interdependent. So when a child progresses in one area, this will indefinitely affect progress in another area so if something went wrong in one area of development, for example, physical, this will have an effect on all other developmental areas like social, emotional, intellectual, etc.

A teacher can help children can help a child with any part of development whether it is social, physical, etc. A teacher will help a child with their mental and physiological development, but not only do they help with this but they also help children learn about table manners, unity, teamwork and sharing which a child needs to learn in their life and sometimes, they can be the more important things in life to make a child a better and friendly person. By the teachers in the class showing good and respectful relationships with students, staff in the class and parents, this will encourage the children to do the same.

One implication that the teacher could find could be with the parents. If the parents refuse for the teachers to help the children with their development as some parents think they always know what is best for the child, which they are and they do know the children the best but not always when it comes to development. A teacher will have a major influence on a child’s holistic development in different ways. They will help with a child’s behaviour by setting examples of what behaviour is right and wrong in their classroom and showing praise for good behaviour and discipline for bad behaviour. A classroom environment can also have an effect on a child’s holistic development. By the teacher understanding the student, they will be able to set up an environment the student will like and enjoy and feel welcome and the teachers can do this by asking the children what they would like in their classroom and using a few of the students’ ideas. This will make the children feel a lot more welcome as they will feel that they have made a contribution to the classroom area. By creating an enabling environment where children feel welcomed they are more likely to use it and develop within it. It is not just the classroom where teachers can create this sort of environment.

The outdoors is where children learn and develop and explore when they are young, so, by also bringing the children’s interests outside, it will help them develop a whole lot more. The role that teachers have with a child’s language development is important. Physical development has become more and more important in schools because of childhood obesity, so the role of a teacher in physical education has become more important than ever. Children learn through physical development as they like to look around and explore. Babies and young children are born with a deep interest in people and with a drive to find out about their world. Their search for meaning is an active process as they seek to understand how people behave and communicate, how objects work and what can be done with them and how space can be used. Children are always active when in school whether this is by using they’re fine motor skills by writing or using their gross motor skills outside playing on bicycles. Children want to be active and it is important for them to be active to have a healthy lifestyle.

There is very strong evidence that being outdoors is the most powerful correlate of physical activity, particularly in pre-school children. Social and emotional development are closely linked together so when teachers are developing children in these areas, the teacher will link these two together. Children will develop their social and emotional skills by going to school and making friends. It is important for a teacher to build a child’s self-confidence and self-esteem. A child’s cognitive development is learned through all the other areas of development, as is their language development. They will learn language through different types of activities and will improve their vocabulary by learning new activities.

Parents are probably the most important people in a child’s life meaning that they are the ones who majorly help with the development of their children. The parents are the ones who start children off with their development, from the day they are born they help them to hold their head up, walk, learn to talk, etc. Parents will know the major milestones in a child’s development like walking or talking but sometimes they do not know the little bits of a child’s development like their mental development, social skills, gaining knowledge and understanding of the world and sometimes these can be the most important. This is where a teacher-parent relationship can be very important so that they can communicate with each other about the child’s improvement. It is important that the parents are involved in the child’s learning and development at school as well as at home for the child’s wellbeing.

Parents will help their child/children develop in all the 5 areas of development that are language, physical, cognitive and social and emotional development. Some parents might find some areas of development more important than others and may push their children to improve in these areas more. This could mean that their child could lack in other areas. Some parents worry about their children’s development when their children are not at a stage of development that they are meant to be at. Any parent will worry about this especially when they are young. All children grow and develop at different speeds and rates as all children are different. Statistics show that many parents are unsure about how they can help their child to learn. The most important thing is for a child to have fun to develop especially when the parents are the main influences on the child’s life. It is important for a child to play and have fun because children learn while playing and it is an important part of their life.

Observations are very important for a child’s holistic development they can play an important part in a child’s development and can potentially help them or can find something wrong with the child’s development. They can do this by evaluating the observation and comparing it to the thing they were observing the child for and see whether the child did or didn’t do what the observer was observing for. Observations will mainly be done by teachers in school but parents will also do observations of their children even if it is just watching the children at the park or watching them playing with toys.

Child development is the term used to describe the stages and milestones that a child goes through to grow and change. These stages and millstones are important for a child development to gain knowledge and skills to help them in the future. For example, important milestones for an average child should reach between the ages of birth to 5 years could be griping and holding objects, crawling which will then develop into walking, starting to communicate with a few words at a time these are all milestones that a child will go through in their first few years of life.

While observing child A I found out that she has very good socials skills and tends to always be around her friends while at nursery and communicating with them. And according to child development: an illustrated handbook by Jacqueline Harding children her age should be beginning to understand how to cooperate with others and enjoying the company of other people. Harding also said that children love to show off their skills and throughout my observation, I noticed child A showed a lot of leadership skills while taking part in activities and although sometimes this leads to disputes between the children because she liked everything to go her way, this showed her enthusiasm towards the activity and boosted Her confidence that will help her in the future when she has the opportunity to take charge in at task.

While doing my observations I used two methods of assessing, first one was The checklist observation method which is a list of questions that is to be answered while you are observing the child doing a certain activity. The advantages of this method were that it was easy to use, I just had to tick the boxes whenever child A performed that certain aspects of that question and write down a few notes to help me understand and refer back to when I needed it. This method was also good because I was able to take part in an activity while I was observing as I only had to write down a few quick notes each time. The disadvantages of this method would be that I had to prepare the questions beforehand and although I was able to answer all the questions I had written down, I missed out important questions that would of helped me see more of child A’s development if I had written them don on the checklist.

For EYP’S to observe a child they need to watch the children closely to observe what the child is doing, listen to what they say, attend to their needs at times and accurately record the information collected. In order to access a child EYP’S need to get to know the children as an individual and get to know their likes and dislikes. Another way that EYP’S can observe children is by playing alongside them so it is less obvious that you are observing them and ask them questions about what they are doing to develop their speech.
