Child Reproductive Practices

Relationships between parents and children

The development of a child's relationship with their parents can be crucial. Children who feel loved are more likely be happy than those who don’t. A love relationship can be primary or secondary and be based on the parents' love or the love of a caretaker. Maltreatment of children is often caused by loss of love for the primary caregiver. But other factors could also impact the relationship. Divorce and cultural norms within the family can also impact the child's development.

Styles of parenting

Parenting styles have various implications for children's development. These parenting styles are often influenced either by parents' past experiences or their own religious beliefs. A particular parenting style is more likely to result in children who are positive, self-confident and capable of managing their own emotions. But, it is important to consider other factors before choosing a parenting style.

Time-outs

Time-outs are a popular tool for managing children's misbehavior. Arthur Staats created time-outs as a discipline technique that involves removing a child from the activity for a specified period. While this technique can be effective at extinguishing negative behavior, it can also leave a child feeling isolated and angrier. Parents should be aware of these guidelines before using this technique.

Persuasion

A key part of child rearing practices is persuasiveness. While it is important that limits are set, children respond more positively to parental suggestions if they feel that the behavior will be beneficial to them. Positive and consistent parental efforts should be made to influence children's behavior.

Reason

Children are raised in different ways. In Norway, for example, children enter state-sponsored daycare at age one. Japan expects children to be independent from birth, but not completely, as Japanese society values the role of adults in their care.

Relaxed body language

When working with children, using relaxed body language during child rearing practices can be extremely useful. It can help you communicate with your child about what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. It can also help you to assess the impact of your actions on others. When you are able to convey your emotion to your child, he or she will be more likely to respond positively to you and comply with your request.
