Recommended: How parents influence child development

I grew up in a small town in the state of Georgia that goes by the name of Murray County. I lived in a subdivision which made my childhood fun because of all the other kids I lived near. I feel like living around other children made it easier for me to make new friends. That is how I got my outgoing personality at a young age in my opinion. My whole hometown is more of your rural area type and we don’t really have an urban area anywhere. My town has more farms and animals than people I feel like. My parents moved into my house a month before I was born and I have lived there ever since. I am the baby of the family. I have a half-brother and a full brother, but my dad adopted my half-brother when he was 4 years old so I don’t ever call him my half-brother. My parents decided to get divorced when I was about 10 years’ old. My mom remarried a couple of years later making my family grow even more. I added a step dad and two step sister, but I’m still the youngest. My grandmother quit her job when I was born to help out my mom and make it where my siblings and I didn’t have to go to dayca...

    When I was a child I thought everybody’s family would be the same, just your average family like mine and yours. My life as a child was a carefree life, I didn’t care for much, except stuff like doctors or dentist, I’ve done pretty much what an average kid did, I thought we had a good life going. When I went to my classmate’s house or meet their family they seemed like they were average to me. I never thought about how us as a family would have any trouble in the world, I was wrong.

  • The Patterns of Birth Order

    1822 Words  | 4 Pages

    The patterns of birth order have been seen for centuries, although it was not studied exclusively until around the 1980s. There are many factors that play into a persons personality, such as their genetics, the way they are raised, and their environment. Birth order looks at a persons place in their family—if they are the oldest, middle, or youngest child—and provides commonalities between them and others in the same location in other families. While there are many variations, the general traits do apply. Research shows that the first born is typically a leader in the family and in other areas of life. The youngest child is usually light hearted and social. The one that is hardest to put a type to is the middle child. He or she will frequently try to blaze their own path, straying from the one that their older sibling made. I believe that birth order plays a part in a person’s personality, but that the way they were raised is also a very important variable. A child’s birth order, along with the way they were raised, is a major factor in the way they interact within their family and other groups.

    Have you ever wondered why you and your siblings never get along, or why you are so different? I wondered the same thing until I read an article about birth orders effects on personality. This had to be why she had never spent an hour away from my parents and I haven’t willingly been within thirty feet of them since I was six, Why I love to read well above my grade level and my sister, a sixth grader, reads mainly Captain Underpants books when not glued to the T.V. and why we are a similar as oil and water.

  • Birth Order Influence Personality

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many factors can shape a persons a personality, it could be their environment, peers, family, siblings, but one wouldn’t think that their birth order can too. The last factor will be the one topic I will be getting into more depth in this essay. Either being born first or last it will have a huge impact on your personality (Parents magazine 2006). The first to introduce the theory of the impact birth order has on personality was psychologist Alfred Adler in the early 20th century. This started a new interest in many on this research (Lesley Ogden 2013). His theory suggest the common personality traits each first, middle, and last borns have. Let me start off with the first born of the family and work my way down. The first born is the child the family “practices” on you could say. First time parents have no experience on parenting, and they want to try their best on raising a good child which causes them to be stricter. This causes them to put more pressure on the first borns to do better at everything they do. Which can make them become perfectionists and high achievers. But they want to be noticed and praised by their parents when they do well. This too however develops them to become leaders, especially if they have siblings their parents want them to set an example for (Brooks 1984). Independence, reliability, and respect for authority are other traits that this group may has. They are highly intelligent and get high qualifications in school. They can also be serious and very mature for their age. Because of this nature, this group tends to get along really well with their elders. The pressure of carrying responsibilities (and at times even being forced upon) at an early age can bring negative factors. For the reason that it c...

  • The Importance Of Cultural Capital

    I would say that my childhood was very different from most children. For me, there really was no stable place that I would consider to be my true home. Due to my dad’s job in banking and finance, I have lived in Chicago, San Francisco, Boston and now Connecticut where I currently reside. As a child growing up, I remember very well, those feelings of nervousness and anxiety being the new kid in school. I would share to my classmates that I had just moved from a prior city and have lived in “this place and that place” and they would stare at me in awe. They had thought that I had the coolest childhood and was so fortunate to see all of the United States. However, for me, that was not what I wanted. I wanted stability. I wanted to develop a core

  • Extraversion

    There has yet to be any determining evidence defines the characteristics of extraversion. The experimenters in this particular experiment have hypothesized that the facets of extraversion are somehow linked by reward sensitivity. This hypothesis was also tested against a model in which they are linked by sociability. There has been much work on this topic in the past, beginning with the works of Jung and James in the early 20th century—to the work of Watson and Clark in 1997. And even after a century of study, they are still unable to truly define the characteristics of the extraversion dimension of personality. In the many attempts to define extraversion, Watson and Clark have defined six basic facets of the personality trait. These are: venturesome, affiliation, positive affectivity, energy, ascendance, and ambition. Researchers Depue and Collins, in 1999, also offered a more succinct depiction of the characteristics of extraversion, this only having three basic parts. The first being affiliation, the enjoyment and value of close interpersonal bonds, also being warm and affectionate. The second, agency, being socially dominant, enjoying leadership roles, being assertive and exhibitionistic, and having a sense of potency in accomplishing goals. The final facet being impuslivity, but this one has been argued upon whether it should be included at all in the characteristics of extraversion at all.

  • Argumentative Essay On Welfare Reform

    679 Words  | 2 Pages

    My household was previously only my dad, mom, two brothers, and myself. However, in 2000 my aunt went to jail for substance abuse and my three cousins were put under the guardianship of my mother. My aunt had been receiving welfare and food stamps before she lost guardianship and when my mother got another three kids my dad and her receive food stamps, a monthly stipend, and daycare support. At that time my father was the only one working and gaining an income so thanks to those social services we wouldn’t have had the resources to care for them. Without the help my parents would have to take care of three pre-teens and three toddlers on one income. Infact, without the help my mom would have had to get a job which would leave the youngest of us in the care of my older brothers since we wouldn’t have been able to afford daycare. And, if we were raised without my mom we wouldn’t have learned all the manners and morals we were raised with. When my cousins’ came to live with us they were used to an environment that contained drugs and gangs so my mom taught them different and better ways. Having them there affected me because that was the time that I learned that there was bad stuff out there in the world. It was then I learned what a cuss word was and that is was bad because my mom would punish my older cousin when he would say them. Having my cousins there taught me what things were bad but if my mom wasn’t there because she

  • How Birth Order Affects One’s Personality

    1316 Words  | 3 Pages

    Everyone in the world is born with a special and unique character. Some of their personality is shaped by their surroundings as they grow up as well as the factor of genetics. It is believed by some psychologists/researchers that birth order has a tendency to influence parts of the personality. Birth order isn’t a simplistic 1-2-3 system that says all first borns are equally one way, all second children are another and last-born kids are always just like this or that. These are simply tendencies and general characteristics that often apply. There are dynamics with families that can change relationships. Through your position in the family you develop your behavior pattern, way of thinking and emotional response. Your birth order helps determine your expectations, your strategies for dealing with people and your weaknesses.

  • Fallacies Of Adolescence Essay

    635 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up in a single parent household I had a good relationship with my mother. Being that I am the youngest out of three, one would think that I had it easy. Many lessons were learned from my sibling past discrepancies. I had a stern but loving upbringing. My mother felt that she had to display an authoritarian manner since she was the only parental figure in my life. Making the same mistakes twice was out of the question. Now that stern manner did not affect the social part of my life. I have always been a friendly and outgoing especially to all that have formed a close bond with me. Everyone has to deal with peer pressure sometime or another. I was always one to think on my own, a leader some may say. I was not really concerned about how others viewed me, for what I did or did not do. My concerns were more personal appearance and body image issues. Typical of many teenage girls. Aside from that I have always found myself surround by positive people that demonstrated similar characteristics.

    1033 Words  | 3 Pages

    Growing up, I was raised by a single mom who gave birth to me while attending college which meant we didn’t have a lot. I still remember being woken up early in the morning by her and driven to my grandparents where they would watch me while she took on 2 shifts each day. Because of the amount of hours, she would work my grandparents took on the role of taking me to my school functions and sporting events. Although it was hard not always having my biggest fan there to cheer me on I knew inside that she would give anything to be there watching but someone had to put food on the table. We had to move quite often due to my mom’s job constantly relocating her to different branches. By the time, I had entered the 1st grade my mother and I were moving into our 5th residence in the Houston area. I was still in my adolescence so moving never seemed to bother me as long as I had my toys and a TV I was pretty content.

  • Changing Roles

    Most of my life I have had a very comfortable, no worries lifestyle. I was raised by both my parents in a nice home just outside of a pretty big city; we lived there almost eleven years of my life until we moved to a bigger home in a different side of town. My mom became pregnant after we moved into our new house and we soon celebrated the arrival of my sister. After my sister was born our family seemed to change in some ways. I noticed my parents were becoming more involved with both of our schools and doing more parental things. Both of my parents really settled down what little wild youthfulness was still left inside of them; our family was becoming very contemporary and more of the picturesque family most view as normal. My mom didn’t work, but rather stayed home and did the housewife thing while raising my sister and I. My dad has a job in the military, which often times calls him to placed around the country for a few days at a time but never for long.
