Since that is my place of employment, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to observe some parent child interactions. b. The child appeared to be at least 5 years old. c. The child was with her mom. d. I observed the way that the mother was trying to handle her child’s temper tantrum while she was shopping in the store. e. When her child was not getting what they wanted, they began to scream and cry. The mother simply ignored the child’s outburst and continued shopping.

I think that my reaction to him would be considered appropriate because I am using an I-message, telling him that I expect him to behave a certain way, and rewarding him for his good behavior. Some may think that the spanking is inappropriate, but, “The general findings in the preschool years are that use of mild physical punishment of a slap or two on the buttocks with the flat of the hand does not cause problems in children behavior, but if punishment continues on when children enter school, then they are likely to become more aggressive and noncompliant.” (Brooks, 2013, p. 198) If spanking my child for misbehaving is just a temporary act, I think that it would be considered appropriate. Same with the scolding of my child, researches found that verbal punishment of children under 3 does not relate to their level of aggressiveness in the future. (Brooks,

The case depicts Inez, an African American women, and Juan, a Mexican American dealing with their daughter's behavior. Although the case depicts the dilemma as to whether, Abbey, the counselor acted in the appropriate manner as a mandated reporter, she could have looked into environmental risk factors. Inez is a mother that is struggling with ongoing racism as a nurse at work, while Juan the father has had recent changes at work. Abbey as a mandated reporter actions to reporting the abuse in the case files was valid, however, the social worker and police are in charge of finding evidence for any physical abuse. The counselor will need to determine issues of confidentiality, cultural competence/biases, and duty to warn.
Recently, the alarming rates of obesity in our contemporary society has been due to the lack of active behaviours starting from a young age in which the younger generation spends a large amount of their childhood watching television. Both concerned and disappointed, Zan Smith’s pragmatic article titled “Beach Lessons”, published on the Child Monthly magazine, exposes the concerns of the increasing amount of time children spends viewing television and playing video games and should, therefore, be minimized. Accompanying her informative piece are two photographs that are contrasted and accentuates the importance of a child’s youth. Furthermore, Smith targets parents of young children in an attempt to encourage parents to take their kids outside
Conflict among infants and toddlers do happen. It is important to allow them to experience conflict with our support.

Supervision is crucial, and getting down to the child’s level when communicating shows
The reporter stated on 03/20/16, Mrs. Busser tried to start an argument with Colton about school and his father; Mrs. Busser tried to get the child to answer questions about his father that he did not want to answer. According to the reporter, Mrs. Busser pulled the child’s hair and slapped him in the face and back of his head. The reporter also stated that his wife almost wreaked the car and threw the child’s cell phone out the car window. Mr. Busser stated he contacted law enforcement but Mrs. Busser had already left the city’s limit. Per the reporter, the child told his mother his face and tongue was numb so she took him to an Olive Branch hospital.
He ran out with her and upon arrival home, Jeanette once again cooked herself hotdogs because “...no one else was there to fix them for [her]” (Walls 15). Rex and Rose Mary fail to supervise their three-year-old, fail to allow her the extensive hospital care she needs, and after completely scorching herself with third degree burns, allowing her to cook hotdogs again at home without supervision is extremely endangering. This demonstrates the style of uninvolved parenting. “[Uninvolved parents] fulfill the child’s basic needs while generally remaining detached from their child’s life” (Sanvictores and Mendez). Although Rex and Rose Mary provide a roof over their children's heads or supply them with life-sustaining food, they are not present.
Children at this age are very prone to temper tantrums, this could be from wanting something they canâ€TMt have or getting angry because they are struggling to do something independently. By forming a close bond with a child could help to diffuse these outbursts of

7). Not to mention it was not the first time the abused happened since her leg had been broken and partially healed at least twice (Charlotte parents sentenced to prison after imprint of hammer found in baby´s skull). Nobody should receive this type of abuse, specially a 10-month-old baby who could not have even defended herself. Many times, parents try to discipline their kids by spanking them. However, this was clearly not the case since a 10-month-old baby is not capable of even speaking or walking.
Hope Edelman’s “The Myth of Co-Parenting,” focuses on Edelman’s marriage falling apart when her husband spends the majority of his waking hours at work. Edelman describes the hardships she faces while raising her daughter for almost two years with an absentee husband. She is left assuming the role of a traditional wife; cleaning the house, stocking the fridge, and taking care of her daughter. Co-parenting is not only hard for the woman in Edelman’s instance, but is also difficult for the husband in Eric Bartels’ “My Problem with Her Anger.” Bartels examines the scrutiny he is under from his wife for performing seemingly easy tasks incorrectly.
In addition, Thatcher (2011) mentioned that activities sought out by a child in this stage may include risk-taking behaviors, such as crossing a street alone or riding a bike without a helmet. And most often negative behavior of a child usually stems from a sense of frustration, of them being unable to achieve a certain planned goal and they may therefore; engage in behaviors that seem aggressive, ruthless, and overly assertive to parents. Relating this back to the case study, the child is most likely to be engaged in the initiative versus guilt stage. His display of aggressive behavior in the classroom could be due to the fact that his primary caregivers (e.g. his parents) may have been too lenient in his display of initiative and guilt.
