Recommended: Parents in childs development

When you become a parent you take the responsibility of caring for the child, providing a safe environment were your child has the ability to be as successful as they desire. When parents do not live their lives they way they should it can cause a permanent effect on the life of their children. When a parent is unable to support them self even without the burden of a child are they really going to be able too provide and care for a child? Is someone who is a registered sex offender really a suitable provider for a child? The government needs to look at these facts and regulate the number of children, if any, a couple should be allowed to have.

A few weeks ago I was watching the news and I saw that the police have just arrested 14 men for trafficking child pornography. Then it hit me “if we allow these people to have children we are just allowing them to have access to them when ever they want.” I also was glancing through some of the magazines while I was at work and I noticed an interesting article about raising children. The magazine “MoneySense” published an article about how much it would cost to raise a child in Canada, and I was honestly blown away with the cost.

Whether we like it or not, money makes the world go ‘round. If you don’t have the means of finding enough money for your child you shouldn’t be a parent. As I stated earlier, I was reading an article at work and I discovered some very fascinating facts. I recently discovered the article again and determined that I needed to write an essay on my opinion of the findings. The article found that from birth to one day before their 19th birthday it would cost on average $243660 to raise a child. This is a national average based upon cost of food, clothing and other ...

...tween parents. This is because it would provide enough money for the parents to support them selves and their children. In addition to that, a new kid should be allowed every $12,000 dollars added on too the average after that. This proposed salary regulation would ensure the child’s standard of life. In reference to the registered sex offenders, I believe anyone on the registered sex offender list shouldn’t be able to have children. I also believe that you should have the right to have children until it is determined you are not suitable, just like you are innocent until proven guilty. These solutions provided would increase standards of living across Canada and give the greater population of children the ability to succeed.

    I was aware that child rearing differed upon classes, but I never thought that when I would learn about them, they’d be so spot on, at least the strategy that the working class and poor parents have adopted. I grew up in a single parent household and my mother barely had enough time to feed us in between her two jobs and sleeping. Don’t get me wrong, I love childhood and my mother even more for sacrificing so much for us, but I mean, this is the

    ... of simultaneously providing assistance to children who are entirely innocent of the mistakes of their irresponsible parents. In theory, he is absolutely correct in saying that providing government-funded benefits to single mothers and to children in need does incentivize certain types of irresponsibility in family planning. Particularly, the latter hinders responsible family planning in connection with accountability and the earned obligations of irresponsible fathers. But, merely terminating all such benefits would probably contribute even further to the very situation the Dalrymple is describing. In that respect alone, and in his failure to propose a viable solution or alternative, I feel that his argument is somewhat lacking. Though I do see eye to eye with Dalrymple on the majority of points made, I have trouble providing my entire agreement with his argument.

  • Character Analysis: The Glass Castle

    Alexandra Sakellariou writes an article about a mother Rachel who gave up her baby because she wasn’t ready to raise a child. “I knew there was no way I could raise a baby as I’d been living on my own since I was 16 and had no family support.” (Sakellariou). Here Rachel explains that when she got pregnant she was still a child herself and living on her own with no help which isn’t the right situation in which anyone should raise a child. Not everyone who gets pregnant is ready to raise a child on their own and not everyone is able to take on that great responsibility that a child brings. So every parent should care for their child unless it is too inconvenient like if they’re not receiving any family support or if they’re not ready to take care of a child. Ashlee Amraen was in a similar situation to Rachel when she got pregnant with her twin boys, “I want my twins to have a stable and healthy, two parent home and I can’t do that right now in life. They deserve so much better than what I can give them.” (Amraen). Amraen states that when she got pregnant she wanted her children to grow up in an ideal home, a home that she couldn’t provide for them at this time. Children deserve to grow up in homes that are

    Based on the article, the government of the United States is doing a bad job on informing people about Child Poverty and provide helps to those kid[1]s. Most of the failure of theses kids start when they are born in "violence, mental illness, drugs and sexual abuse" (Kristof)[1]. As an example, the author uses Nataly Ledesma's case to describe his approach[1]. The kid was born into a torn family. Her father had died before she was born and her mother was arrested when she had only 3 years. She started using drugs in early ages of her life. By age 17, she gave birth to her baby from her boyfriend, and the reason was she did not know about condoms or birth control[1]. What I think is US Government fails on informing people about real-life problems. As seen, during presidential election, candidates from both parties mostly brought up the issue from the other party to destroy the other party and attract the voters' attention to themselves. Both Clinton and Trump failed to come up with major issues and provide a solution for those. Mr. Trump brought up Emails and Benghazi while Mrs. Clinton brought up Mr. Trump's irreverence attitude toward women. Both cases were propaganda to change public's mind and attract them

    This report compares data form the 1960’s and 1970’s to data from more recent years. When comparing this data, it appears that we seem to have forgotten that children are the future of our society. We are having fewer children, not even enough to replace our dying population (Marquardt et al. 2012:84-86). While this does not seem like an issue now, it may well become one in a few generations as our population begins to drop too low. We also seem unconcerned with how our actions affect our children.

  • Federal Baby Doll Rule

    Some parents struggle knowing they will have to care for a disabled child for the rest of their lives and some parents are not prepared to take on that role. I don’t feel that withholding care is the answer, but I also don’t believe that forcing the parents to take on such a big responsibility is the answer either. People get put into situations that they are not prepared and they don’t care for the child like they should. In the end the child is the one who suffers. This subject will always be controversial with the world that we live in today. I am thankful for the Federal “Baby Doe”rules and I am sure a lot of newborns lives have been spared because of it.

    As a society we are governed by the laws of our nation. As a nation our laws are fluid, evolving with a changing society. It is often said that children are our future; they are our successors, the ones who will replace us and continue on to change the nation and the laws that govern it. It is the job of a parent to raise and sustain youth until they are able to stand alone. Of the many issues facing our society, one pressing issue that needs to be addressed involves the development of these crucial beings, specifically who is legally fit to do so. There is currently a debate over same-sex couples and their ability to raise a child and whether or not they are equally as qualified as their heterosexual counterparts. This question has legal implications that spill over into issues such as adoption, should same sex couples be allowed to adopt and if so how will that affect the child.

    Most of us during our infamous teenage years or early college years don’t plan on bringing a cute, chunky, tiny, and adorable little baby into this world, but the fact of the matter for some it, unfortunately, does happen at such a young age. I personally didn’t imagine going through my childhood years and some teenage years without my mother and having other relatives and family members step in and work together to raise me because my mother wasn’t ready to take on the job of raising a baby. Parenthood is one of the most challenging responsibilities a human being can ever bear. That is why classes about parenthood should, in fact, be a requirement in the school system for freshman through senior classes.
