Recommended: Influences that impact on child development

Members of society today are becoming more fragile because of how they grow up. Children are being told exactly how to live and are afraid to mess up. Parents do not have confidence in their children, so they do everything for them. A child can not learn from a mistake if he or she can not make one. Children are losing learning experiences that assist them in maturing. The problem is, that, children do not want to grow up because parents are making their lives easy. The youth of today can counter becoming "a nation of wimps" by conveying trust in their responsibilities, independently solving their own situations, and earning their own accomplishments.

The youth of today will not want to become independent, but parents with have to urge their children to mature while guiding them in the right direction. Countering society in becoming, "a nation of wimps", will be difficult, but can happen. Parents and children will have to work together to avoid the society becoming increasingly fragile. Trust is a major factor because it determines how far a child gets in life before his or her parent stops it. The youth can convey trust by being consistent with the necessities of responsibility and honesty. Children must learn how to cope with adversity and independently fix their own challenges in order to own a sense of independence themselves.
Challenges occur commonly, so children must be ready to face them without a parent by their side. Self-accomplishment is a special sense of pride that can only be obtained independently through children completing a task with out assistance. Once a child completes an independent task successfully, he or she will want to feel that sense of pride again. The only way to feel this way again is by completing a task independently, so there has to be effort in wanting to mature. There

    647 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a teenager we are all looking to be accepted by our peers and will do whatever it is they want us to so we can be accepted. That is to say the feeling of needing to be accepted by ones peers is done consciously; the person starts to do what their friends do without thinking about it. (Teen 3) In fact, teens are more likely to be affected by peer pressure because they are trying to figure out who they are. (How 1) Therefore, they see themselves as how their peers would view them so they change to fit their peer’s expectations. (How 1) Secondly, the feeling of needing to rebel and be someone that isn’t who their parents are trying to make them be affects them. (Teen 2) Thus, parents are relied on less and teens are more likely to go to their peers about their problems and what choices to make. (How 1) Also, their brains are not fully matured and teens are less likely to think through their choices thoroughly before doing it. (Teen 6) Lastly, how a child is treated by his peers can affect how they treat others; this can lead them into bullying others who are different. (Teen 3) Consequently this can affect a teen into doing something good or bad; it depends who you surround yourself with.

As, during youth age a person can contribute to society’s growth and productivity, At the same time it may also disturb the peace and calm of the society by rooting out different types of evils and social problems that may lead a society to come down from leading and successful rows.

    For example, the fact that comedians across the country are having to cancel college appearances simply due to fear of microaggression just shows the lengths of the college student’s sheltered life. The way that we are taught as children, that “adults will do everything in their power to protect you from harm,” (Lukianoff/Haidt) ultimately is something that should, but is not, let go of when age increases.

    From when a child is born, to adulthood, everything done because of them, to them, or in front of them leaves a “puzzle piece” in their brain. By the time they have reached the age of 16 and up, they most likely have already decided or already have become the kind of person they want to be. What they have witnessed and experienced throughout the years of their upbringing has left enough puzzle pieces for them to piece together the type of person they will be. If the child witnesses abuse, they will remember that. If the child witnesses prejudice and racism, they will remember that. If the child witnesses the complete opposite of that, such as acceptance, fairness, and acts of love; they will remember that. From the ages of ten to fifteen, research shows that “early adolescent brain goes through a growth...

  • Assess The Impact Of Individualisation On Youth

    1579 Words  | 4 Pages

    In our modern and current society today, typically in the Western cultures, individualisation and detraditionalisation has had many impact and influences on the nature of teenagers, in the sense of them transitioning from youth to adulthood. The term ‘individualisation’ refers to a trend towards the primacy of individual choice, freedom, and self responsibility; meaning that ‘each young person is under pressure to consciously tailor make their own life trajectory towards successful adult citizenship' (Furlong & Cartmel 1997; Kelly 2006). While on the other hand, the term ‘detrationalisation’ referring to the withering away of old forms of collective social collectivity and associated patterns of behaviour embedded over generations; meaning

  • The Transition of Youth into Adulthood.

    1730 Words  | 4 Pages

    “Definitions of ‘youth’ in Western societies usually refer to the life stage between childhood and adulthood, the transitional period between being dependant and becoming independent” (Kehily, 2007). The age of this transition can be best defined by the House of Commons as starting at 16 and ending at 24 years old (2013). This transition from youth to adulthood has altered considerably in recent years; the traditional norms and values that youth once followed are no longer respected or easily attained. Current youth have very different life styles and expectations, consequently; adolescents are taking longer to complete the transition into adulthood. Twenty-five years ago the traditional norms were to get a job straight after school, start courting, get married, save up enough money to set up home and eventually start a family. The fact that this is no longer the norm for the majority of youth reflects that the changes in education, employment, housing, and benefits have affected the model of transition significantly.

  • Causes and Effects of Teenage Rebellion

    644 Words  | 2 Pages

    Once hormones have revealed themselves, children turn into confused young adults that think they can do everything by themselves and that there will no longer be any need for nurturing from adults. The word “young” from “young adults” is what teenagers completely ignore, when actually they should do the opposite and ignore the “adults” part. Furthermore, this causes infliction between teenagers and adults, especially their parents. Once they have the courage to say “no” with consciousness to what they are ordered to do, they come across a feeling, a feeling of being big and powerful. Because of that, teenagers then only focus on their new discovery of rebelling against adults and are, metaphorically speaking, injected with ego.

  • Nurturing Yields a Productive Citizen

    1661 Words  | 4 Pages

    First, a positive self-concept (the image one has of oneself and ones strengths) sets the basis as to how a child will conduct his or herself in the future. “Children with good self concepts are more likely to grow into happy and productive members of society” (Arkin et al.). Parents should encourage positive self-concepts in children. To help a child reach this goal, guidance is needed. Guidance is one of the biggest parts in nurturing a child. Without guidance, the child has no way of knowing what is expected of them. If a child does not know what they are expected to do there is no way that the child will be able to do what is needed.

  • Expectations And Social Expectations

    1025 Words  | 3 Pages

    In a majority of cultures, the youth of society learned behaviors and ideals based off of their guardians and role models. Children formed their own personal morals, ethics, and common sense based on their parents or close guardian figures’ actions, which led to either a similar or oppositional belief. Though this taught children fairly quickly, it sometimes left little to the imagination and forced the youth to work for only one reason; to fit in. The early years of a person’s life began their transition and integration into society as adults. The continued struggle to fit in and expectations people put on children and adolescents led to a faster maturation and loss of creativity. In both the
