Looking back on when I was a child, I know now that I was very loved, and blessed to have the childhood I had (up until a certain point). The way that I was parented has certainly benefited, as well as negatively influenced my life. I would say that my parents were authoritarian, as well as permissive parents. In all honesty I would not trade my parents in for anything, although at times (like all children) they have gotten on my last nerve.
A few things I would say my parents have done a significant amount of things right
(especially raising a child in this generation). Despite some parents being somewhat lenient with their children with everyday life, my parents raised stuck to the way they were raised. I was not allowed to date until I

I immediately broke down in tears. My first thought was, "No,this isn 't funny." My second thought was, "Why?" I was just in awe. I felt like someone was squeezing my heart. I also almost felt sort of betrayed, and blindsighted. When my parents split up my mom moved across town, and my dad and we had to move out of the neighborhood we lived in for years. My Aunt SeAndra (my mother 's half-sister) told my dad that if we needed a place to stay we could live with her until we got back on our feet. After a few weeks of packing, my brothers and I had come up with a wild theory. We suspected that my dad had started dating SeAndra. At first we were all afraid to ask, but our curiosity got too intense and eventually we asked them. They denied it at first. A week or so later, my brothers and I were sat down and they told us they had decided to start dating. We were told "it doesn’t say anything in the Bible about it being wrong, so it 's okay." I knew in my heart that it wasn 't. My dad and SeAndra kept it from my mother for months. My dad kept telling us not to tell our mom because it was not our responsibility. After approximately three months, my mother found out. My mom, needless to say, was pissed. I don’t quite recall every detail of what happened back then ( I assume because it was somewhat traumatizing for a child my age) but it was not good. My mom got remarried almost 2 years …show more content…
My father is my father, regardless of blood work and whatnot. People just assumed (as I myself probably would as well) that SeAndra was my mother. This irritated the hell out of me, it still does. I 'm still ashamed of this little snip-it of my life. I understand that it is not my fault, and I cannot carry the burden of my parents choices. Many of my family members clearly chose their sides. Some completely cut off communication with my mother as if the whole ordeal was her fault. Although it 's disturbing, this happening to me has also made me a stronger person. I 've learned how to hold my tongue in a situation I cannot control. I have also learned that no matter what, things can be worse. I have also learned that just because someone is your family, doesn’t mean that they 'll think of you before they do something for
As a maturing adult I now realize the importance of having a strong parental foundation. Throughout my life there have been moments where both parents demonstrated the characteristics of all four basic parenting styles. However, as I aged it became apparent that my parents had successfully found their niche in a parenting style that was analogous with their personality and beliefs. In my father's case it was the authoritative parenting style. With this style he captured my trust and respect; never letting me down. Furthermore, it was my mother's permissive parenting that undeniably contributed towards my love and gratitude for her. There were also instances where my parents influenced my life both positively and negatively. Nevertheless, I am forever grateful for having my parents in my life, for they contributed (and continue to contribute) towards my success as a growing adult.
...arents have always been there to give the support and provide for me because that what parent do for there kids. Through out watching my parents work i am able to develop what it means to work hard and learn how to provide for my a family later on.
I benefited from having authoritarian parents as they taught me about the importance of rules and boundaries, but there are more cons than pros for the authoritarian style. What I dislike most about this style is that my parents did not provide emotional support to me as I was growing up. They believed in setting standards, rules and regulations that were too punitive. My parents were too caught up in demanding complete obedience, and they did not take int...
...uthoritarian, authoritative and permissive. These parenting styles are classified by communication, expectations of children, disciplinary strategies and warmth and nurture. Based on research, there is a link between how children are raised and the child’s behavior. The authoritarian style is the more strict, where the demands are high and punishment is strictly enforced. Authoritative parents enforce rules, but are emotionally supportive. They will listen to their children’s opinions and allows them to negotiate. Permissive parents have a “no discipline” policy and will never resort to punishing their children, but more so of bribing them with food and gifts to behave. Parents play an important role in the development of their children. No matter what parenting you choose, you will have a positive or negative impact on your child’s development. Choose wisely.
I thought for 15 years that my mother was alive, but now, hearing that she had been dead for almost my entire life, I felt deceived. I had no idea who this woman was. I felt melancholy, then I was overwhelmed with anger. I was furious at my adoptive parents for withholding the truth. She was my mother, my family, not theirs.
Growing up I seen a lot of conflict between my mom and my brother Dameon's dad. At the tome it was just me and my little sister Genesis i was five she was three. I didnt know much i just knew that man that had to hurt. Thinking back i wonder why she didnt just end it right where it began. I learnedthat my mom has a very big heart even for those that dont deserve it. I also learned that she's hard-headed and doesnt like to see the truth for what it is.
Strict parents have a better impact on their child’s emotional, academic, and social well-being. If you are continually pushing your children and not changing the rules that have already been set, they will gradually begin to change and have the same or better expectations for themselves. Seeing how proud your parents are of you makes you feel great and pushes you to do better. Everyone wants someone to be proud of
Thanks to the way my parents were raised, living with them is very pleasing. My parents were taught to take good care of their children which I am very thankful for. My grandparents also taught me how to be kind. Their kindness has rubbed off on me and without them, I may not have been as kind as I am now. My grandparents knew how to make many different things from the Russian cuisine and taught me how to do it as well. My grandparents would encourage me to cook with them and from that, I have gained courage to try many other recipes. Now, I know how to cook many different dishes and desserts. Without my grandparents’ teachings, I would not be the person I am
In this essay I will compare person-Centred counselling with cognitive-Behavioural counselling and their different approaches and why the counselling relationship is so important. There will be a brief outline of what Person Centred and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy.
The human brain is capable of 1016 processes per second, which makes it far more powerful than any computer currently in existence. But that does not mean that our brains do not have major problems and limitations. The calculator can do math thousands of times better than we can, and our memories are often very limited. Moreover, we are subject to cognitive biases, those often unrecognized beliefs that we hold that cause us to make questionable decisions and reach erroneous conclusions.
When as I was a child back then, my authoritarian parents felt like they had to be in control for most, if not all the
The style of parenting with which children are raised can profoundly affect their social development, as well as their abilities to deal with life situations as adults. Parents who follow the permissive style of parenting have very few rules, no consistent limits, and more often than not give in to their children.. In a permissive family, the children are in charge.
This lady is the most wonderful person I 've ever met. She is old, affectionate, and intelligent. It took me eighteen years to realize how much this extraordinary person influenced my life.

There are many things to love in life. Family and friends, pets and even hobbies can be loved. While I personally believe that love is a very strong word, I do have things I love. Please join me in learning more about myself as I explain why family and friends have a special place in my heart.
Both of my grandparents raised my own parents when being young kids into having discipline, responsibilities and obligations. Back in the day, the years were different and it required a lot more education/principles. Education has been one of the most maybe top five of me, my character. Since what I remember by parents always taught me the right path, not wrong, they always tried to fix my mistakes so I wouldn 't repeat them or make myself look bad in front of other people. They wanted me to be an educated person with principles, but I never understood why
