Parenting Practices According to Morgenegg (2013), when you first learn that your child has a disability, the parenting practices will suffer and be affected. At first, they will experience sadness and sorrow, but through positive parental practices, they can get all things synchronize and satisfying as to the positive view of life. Parents should move forward and adjust to whatever happens once they found out and knew the disability possessed by their child. Parenting practices help give awareness to every family member to be aware and do all possible things that can improve their situation. They may take time to adjust to their child but, parents should also give enough positive encouragement to their disabled child.

The PAR Theory is consists of three sub-theory. Firstly, Personality sub-theory which talks about how children in different cultures and ethnicity, as well as genders, will respond precisely on how they feel to be accepted or rejected by their parents, siblings or any other attachment figures. Also, this sub-theory is an explanation of rejection of people such as parents, siblings, or peers that can affect and contribute the child with a disability into the adulthood up to the old age. Secondly, the Coping sub-theory which gives children and parents the resilience to become physically, emotionally and mentally cope and adjust more efficiently in the experiences of childhood rejection. Lastly, the socio-cultural systems sub-theory tackles some parents with a disabled child being warm and loving, but others are cold, aggressive, neglecting and rejecting. Also, the behaviors and beliefs of an individual parent within the society are affecting the perception of both parents in accepting or rejecting their disabled children.

Parental acceptance-rejection was designed and represented as the quality of the parents and their child to show affectional bonds with such behaviors of expressing their feelings of love, acceptance, and warmth as well as how they say verbal things to their child. Another thing, if there are parental acceptance, there will also be a familial rejection seen in the form of physically and psychologically painful and hurtful behaviors of parents. The evidence of this is seen to children who do not receive a just parental love, care, and warmth will tend to psychologically fail in adjusting, poor self-esteem, confidence, and self-adequacy as well as a negative view to the world. Rejection of parents can affect the child with a disability and manifests some negative characteristics such as trust issues, unsociable, threatening and sometimes dangerous. The positive response or parental acceptance can persist all throughout the life of an individual from childhood up to old age, and it changes the self-concept of the child to the positive view of the world. When a child feels rejection, they also tend to develop and adopt negative self- concepts. Every child is unique with or without the disability. There are problems to be
According to the article, “Parents’ Mistreatment towards Physically Disabled Children”, a study showed “the level of mistreatment with a disabled child was high for a reason like the marital status of the parents and the child’s order within family” ( Jumma and Cerkez 527). But not all parents are like that mistreatment their child that has a disability. Some parents that live in a foreign country abandoned their children. Jumma and Cerkez go on to say “in many eastern communities [people] believe that having a disabled child in a family is a punishment for their fault and will bring evil and a misfortune to the family and community” (528). This type of abandon happen in the novel and also in real life. That has a physically disability because they don’t have the money to care for them. Also, some parents give their child up for adoption to get a better care for
There are few fields within the child development science. One of them is represented by the psychoanalytical theory, which looks at the child emotional development within the context of social interaction and early attachments. This framework is called psychosocial as it looks on the emotional and social aspects. Running in parallel and influencing each other there are two more main areas, cognitive and physical. Although I am focusing on the aspects of the psychosocial development, it is important to remember that all these areas are being affected one by the other, where the development of the emotional skills plays central role in a regular development of cognitive and physical skills.
A good way to do this is to develop cooperative tasks between students with disabilities and other students. Develop activities that the student with disabilities can be successful in which will result in everyone involved have a much more positive attitude.
With the increase of divorce and the number of children being born out of wedlock, parental alienation continues to grow. With custody laws changing, allowing for equal opportunities for both parents to raise their children, and fathers beginning to fight for their right to be involved, not just every other weekend fathers, custody battles have become increasingly fierce. Another factor contributing to this is the fact that many courts consider who will be more willing to encourage the child to have a heathly and continuing relationship with the other parent.
Validation and acceptance are needed by an adult child in order for them to feel worth-while and lovable. Adult children are not allowed to e...
Students will develop at their own pace, some much slower than others; a teacher may see this as a developmental delay. This mislabeling of an infant or toddler can cause a significant amount of stress on a parent who in their eyes sees their child developing typically. Another problem with Early Intervention Programs is a lack of parent involvement and acceptance. Parents not wanting to accept that their infant or toddler has a developmental delay or disability and then deny services or not follow through with the Individualized Family Service Plan provided to them. This happens because of a lack of knowledge on the parents end. “In a large measure the success of early intervention and family involvement is dependent upon our ability to assist families in maintaining their handicapped young children within the home—with the provision that both the children and family members can lead reasonably happy, productive lives.” (Bricker & Casuso
People who have physical disabilities often experience negative situations and connotations that they must overcome to thrive in society. People who offer narratives about their disabilities often give the most accurate representation about the challenges those with disabilities face. Ms. Marenge, reported that one of the hardest things about leaving the rehabilitation center after becoming paralyzed was living in a house that was inaccessible, and having to rely on her family to carry her up and down the house (Casey Marenge, 2011). Similarly, a student with muscular dystrophy, says that she wishes more places were wheelchair accessible, because when they aren’t she feels that society is holding her back, and she can’t reach her full potential. Alisha also reported that t making friends is hard because some kids would ignore her at school because of her situation and she is often separated from the mainstream students at school. Alisha, doesn’t want to be defined by her disability, however, she believes that many people who look at her only see her wheelchair (Alisha Lee, 2011). Despite the many negative ways people who suffer from physical disabilities are affected, it is important to note that they don’t always feel bad for themselves, and that having a disability doesn’t stop them from loving
Sibling relationships, which play such a critical role in a child’s overall development, take on special significance when one of the siblings has a disability (Gallagher, Powell & Rhodes, 2006). Often, as children develop, they may choose behaviors they experienced at home, while others emulate the socialization in which they were so familiar. Regardless of how the socialization plays out, it is an influential factor in the way adults live. The relationship a child develops with his or her parents can serve as a model for subsequent relationship with siblings. Whiteman, Becerra, & Killoren (2009), found research to support that a theory of sibling influences: sibling social learning is directly linked to how siblings develop similar and different attributes, attitudes, and behaviors. These demonstrations that children perform for a sibling can provide them with the skills and habits necessary for participating in today’s society. However, many different circumstances can affect this performance in siblings. Factors include parent divorce, a loss of a family member and a child with a disability. (Conger, Stocker, McGuire, 2009).
“The most beautiful thing in this world is to see your parents smiling and knowing that you are the reason behind that smile.” Our parents’ first concern; which parenting style to follow in order to raise up a well-developed, and well-mannered person. Matter of fact, a huge debate went over this particular issue, whether strict parenting is the right method, or being leant is the correct method. "There is clear evidence that parents can and do influence children." (Maccoby 1). Although, there are numerous factors that can affect the parenting process, or affect the way the parents treat the child (Bossard 333) (Maccoby 1). For instance, different home circumstances... the divided home, or the neglectful home, or the mother-controlled home, or may be the overly demanding home, or the home with too many bosses, so all these different home atmospheres are major factors that affect the development of any child (Bossard 333). In addition, the parents’ attitude towards the child is mostly effective in the formation of the child's personality (Bossard 334). Furthermore, the genetic effect of the child is very important, researches proved that genes are one of the most effective factors in the parenting process, and genes affect the child's own behavior characteristics, and also influences the way the parents are tending to treat their son/daughter (Maccoby 5). I will explain the three major parenting styles and will prove that it is not possible to assume that there is one best style to follow, because each home or family have their own special cases or circumstances that will affect the parenting process
Children’s development in all aspects are influenced by genetic composition (Nature) and the environment in which they grow (Nurture). They are influenced by all adults in which they come into significant contact. Smiling at someone unfamiliar or speaking to a stranger is less likely to have a lasting impact on the child or their development. However, parents and immediate family have the most impact on a child’s development. A family is defined as at least one adult and one child who live together and in which the adult is control of the child’s life and behavior as well as demonstrates responsible care for the child (McDevitt & Ormand, 2013). Parents are the primary educators and caregivers,
False beliefs conclude that these children would have fixed lives because of the parents disabilities and in order to prevent this we must separate families. Studies show that children’s destinies are not fixed by having parents with a disability (Powell 2016). Their experience in their adult life were similar to other peers of the same social class and neighborhoods (Field,Sanchez 1999). Their ability to strive in school or leave was also not based on their parents disabilities (Booth 1997). In fact children with parents with disabilities have been shown to foster protective resilience factors, such as personality characteristics, responsiveness to others and an outgoing nature (Booth 1997).
Raising a child with a disability may have some difficulties and challenges but it will have a lot of rewards; just as having a normal child. A parent want their child to live a normal fulfilling life as any other normal child. This life style will take extra patience, time and adaptive equipment and a special person to do it. When accepting that your child has a disability it is good to get all the literature on that type of disability. This will help you understand your child’s disability. A parent involvement is needed to find support groups, so they can get some insight on things someone from the support group has done to get certain things accomplished.

The problem not only affects the family’s life but it also affects the child’s ability to learn and be productive at school. Children requires a lot of attention and love on a daily basis, however, having a child that has a disability requires extra attention and love because they are trying to understand the world through a different set of lens. This could become a problem especially if there are multiple children in the household. In often cases, the amount of attention that the parents give to the child in need obstruct the family dynamic because of the pa...
