3. Theoretical Framework 3.1 Froebel’s kindergarten education theory 3.1.1 Obeying the nature A famous Swiss educator, Rousseau was considered to raise the Copernican Revolution after he came up with a theory “children-centered”. In his famous book Emile, he severely criticized rigid and inflexible traditional education which seriously distorted and suppressed the natural world of children. He called for “regard children as children” and asked people to teach children according to children’s physical and mental development rule. (Liu, 2014) Another great educator, Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi also pointed out that education should be with the development of nature. He once said “In essence, human nature also should follow the same rule.” (Pestalozzi, …show more content…
He wrote in his book family education “whether a person is full of knowledge, has thoughtful ideas or develops a good habit, family education should take full responsibility.” “Family education is the hope of prospering the Chinese nation, is the foundation of the whole education, related to the fate of the country.” (Chen, 2008:262) It is endowed with the double meanings: first, namely the important influence of early family education for children personal life; second, early family education influences the rise and decline of a …show more content…
Children like to imitate, and adults must behave themselves. 3) Teach as early as possible. Children are easy to plasticity. Parents give them good education as soon as possible, which can benefit children’s whole life. Otherwise, it is difficult to develop their future education. 4) Be strict. Parents love their children, but it is harmful for them if they give them too much love and accommodate themselves. 5) Keep the same teaching attitude. Parents should keep consistent attitude in education. For example, mother let them drift, while father is strict with them, which is extremely bad for children’s development. 6) Proper toleration or strictness. Too strict and too tolerant are not conducive to children’s development. Parents should grasp the moderate scale. 7) Punish carefully. If children do something wrong, parents can punish them only when they make it clear that what happened and why they did it. Don’t punish children when other people are on the scene. Don’t punish them in the morning or in the evening. Don’t transfer their anger to children.
Parents should be strict with their children all while making sure they maintain a good emotional, academic, and social well-being for the child. This doesn’t mean nag, or constantly pester your child but be firm and make sure you get your point across. With proper discipline any child can sprout and become a good human in our society but it all comes down to how the child is raised. How will you raise your
Children are our future of the world. They are the ones who will create the next generation. Therefore, it is important to start young within children, teaching them right from wrong. It is important preventing them from following the same negative patterns as kids of today. Many kids today do not really have a strong discipline, love and support at home. In general being a parent does not come easy or, with a manual on how to be a positive effective parent. There is a different factor that causes children to be disobedient or out of control. Or sometimes the parent can be doing everything right and shows much love as they can for their child. But, the child is given a negative and avoidance feedback.
Home is the first place that children are in and educated, which means home is children’s first school and parents are children’s first teachers. However, when it comes with the situations that parents do not speak the language well or low academic levels, which means parents themselves do not know the knowledge. What the parents can help children are providing children the educational opportunity and try their best to help children. Besides providing children an educational opportunity, how could parents help children with their education? School-home connection is a good option, but there are two sayings. One is having parents and teachers connected could promote children on education, the other is distract children from successful education.
The form of parenting style is regarded as most effective and beneficial. The style has parents that have high expectations of the children, but fortify these expectations with support, encouragement, and understanding. The rules are established and firm, but they entertain, listen to, talk with, and take into consideration the child 's view and concerns. There is discipline actions for not abiding by the rules, but this is also doled out after conversation and explanation of the situation. The punishment is just, firm but not harsh, and consistent. The children that are products of this form of parenting are most often able to engage in discussions, understand their opinions are valued. These children are confident, socially competent, responsible, cooperative, self-motivated and regulated, and mildly
There are several different styles of parenting, authoritarian, authoritative, disengaged, and permissive, according to Diana Baumrind with different characteristics and goals. The two quantifiers of the different types of parenting are responsiveness which is the degree that parents are sensitive to their child’s needs and express love, warmth, and concern for them, and demandingness which is the degree that parents set down rules and expectations for behavior and require their children to comply with them (Arnett, 2016). These different styles of parenting produce children with different outcomes in terms of personality and behavior, and that difference is due to the amounts of responsiveness and demandingness that is present in each of the styles. These outcomes of the children will affect them their entire life, from how they raise their children to how they fit in at school and in their culture to their grades and social life.
How can parents help their children succeed in school? Parents are one of causes for children to prosper or to decline in school. Studies have shown that “children observe their parents' behaviors and then practice these behaviors themselves” (Forgays). In time, children grow into the mentality of the originator. The idolization that is displayed is an illustration of how the performance of the parents imprints the cogitation of the child. In the same way, in order for the minors’ advancement, first, parents need to apprehend how to advise the child in the applicable manner. Thus, parents ought to be inclined to promote the growth of the child in order for the adolescent’s success in school. Foremost, the parent can become operative in the child's life by “being present at school, communicating with teachers, or helping at home with homework” (Young). Parents can become the valuable asset the child desires by being involved in the child's activities and encouraging the child's attainment of success in school. Most important, children must acquire the mindset to thrive in school; without this and a positive environment, their expectations are not within the self-fulfilling prophecy, which is setting goals for their contentment. "Your mindset is the view you have of your qualities and characteristics where they come from and whether they can change" (Vermeer). The mindset is what promotes the children's actions and the environment influences it. The two types of mindset are fixed and growth mindset. A fixed mindset is stable and immutable. In a growth mindset, experiences and effort are needed in order to keep learning and developing. Once the offspring’s mindset is steadfast, search for self-identity will be progress (Erikson). Children are expanding through self-identity; they are eager to interpret and recognize who they actually are. Once parents develop a positive
I feel as though parents need to ask themselves if there is a middle ground in how they raise their child. Can one be not too overprotective yet not so lenient at the same time? N...
This paper will explore the strict parenting whether it has positive effects or negative effects on children. Before I begin my discussion, I want to ask you a question. How do you define an authoritarian parent? In response to this question, you can think about someone who has a complete control over his or her children. According to Kendra Cherry, the author of “What Is Authoritarian Parenting?”, she explains that, “Authoritarian Parenting is a style characterized by high demands and low responsiveness.” In this sentence, authoritarian parenting, also known as helicopter parenting, is parents who force their children to follow their needs without any explanations, so their children must be under their regulations even though children do not
Adults are in charge of making sure they explain how they want things and to help the children understand and learn behaviors that meet their expectations. While children learn this, it helps them develop positive social relationships. As a result the children will develop a sense of self-discipline that leads to positive self-esteem (Guidance for Effective Discipline). Discipline is only effective if adults provide positive attention to children's desirable behaviors, which will result in helping the children strengthen and refine them. Before adults can stop undesired behaviors, they must identify the positive behaviors that they want to see in the children. Some strategies for helping children learn behaviors is listed below:
Different cultures and social groups all have different ways to raise children. Some parents have a restrictive way while other parents may come off as lenient to their children. Although both ways of parenting may seem correct to those parents, the effects of how the children grow up may or may not be good. When raising a child it is always important to maintain a balance between strict parenting and submissive parenting to ensure a better development of mental, behavioral and academic qualities in a child.
Lastly discipline is another very important responsibility. The best thing to do is to pick your battles, because if you are constantly saying “no” your child will tune it out. You also have to be consistent. For example, you can’t let your child eat candy before dinner one night and then tell them not to the next night, you will be sending them mixed signals.
There has been a great deal of research on parenting style in the early parts of the 21st century. Parenting style is a psychological construct of a standard framework that a parent uses to bring up their child (Darling & Steinberg, 1993). This construct has been to a great extent influenced by Baumrind’s conceptualization of authoritarian, permissive and authoritative parenting styles which encompasses diverse qualities, such as, maturity, communication styles, nurturance, warmth and involvement (Baumrind, 1991). The expectation of an authoritarian parenting style is that a parent keeps their youngsters on a short leash while enforcing numerous rules that are to be obeyed without any objection (Baumrind, 1991). Bad conduct in this case is not endured and parents often turn to discipline as an approach to control their youngsters’ behaviour (Baumrind, 1991).
In conclusion, it would be necessary to state that strict parenting is not a very bad thing, if the family still has the loving atmosphere and the strictness comes from the particular situations where it is needed. Parents who prefer the ease in dealing with a child who did not attach much importance to his manners and do not insist on absolute obedience and accuracy, also raise sociable and attentive to the surrounding people, if they are not afraid to stand firm in those issues that they consider particularly important.
In conclusion, by eliminating punishment, using the kind and firm technique and by having a relationship based on mutual respect, parents can properly discipline their children without being abusive. Although, positive discipline may not provide immediate results, it will actively stop misbehavior instead of redirecting
He lived during the early 19th century, when industrialization was just beginning. Unlike Rousseau, he believed schools could be good and favored group instruction. To him, the purpose of education was to develop the human being’s moral, mental, and physical powers harmoniously by using sense perception to form clear ideas. His idea of curriculum consisted to object lessons, reliance on sensation, and teaching from simple concepts to complex concepts, near ideas to far ideas, concrete thoughts to abstract thought. The role of the teacher was to be a facilitator of learning, creating a homelike environment, and being skilled in special method. This changed the way instruction was given in elementary schools. Of the three thinkers looked at, I most align with Pestalozzi 's views and feel there is a lot I can learn from studying his philosophies. The idea of students learning in an unhurried, caring and emotionally secure environment mirrors the type of classroom I want to create. I also think his methods of curriculum are very applicable in using object lessons and introducing simple concepts first before building up to complex ideas. Pestalozzi’s philosophies have been very influential in the education system as well as my personal educational
