As they say charity begins at home and parents are the best teachers in the lives of their kids. Being the first teachers they care deeply about them. Influencing your kid is possible only if you spend quality time with them by playing and engaging in their activities. However, in modern day life parents do not have enough space and time to discuss or even think about them. This leads to accumulated stress to the kids due to lack of a grown up to talk to.

In certain decision-making situations, the best interests of the child should not only be a primary but rather the paramount consideration. In other words, the best interests of the child should trump other considerations such as immigration control or fiscal constraints. One such instance is the decision to separate a child from his or her parents.

Socioeconomic status of their families has profound effects on the development of children. These effects originate at every level of the bio ecological model. In the micro system, children are affected by the nature of their family's housing and their neighborhood, and in the ecosystem, by the condition of their school and the quality of their teachers. Ecosystem influences include the nature of the parents employment or lack of employment.

Such measures have been known to last up to two months. The effect of this separation on young children has not been documented. In its recent exchange with the UN Human Rights Committee, the Irish government conceded that children had been separated from their parents as a consequence of deportation.

Contrary to popular assumption, growing up in highly affluent families can have negative effects on development. The stereotype of the poor little rich kid seems to have some basis in fact. For example, compared with inner-city adolescents, affluent youth report higher levels of anxiety, greater depression, and more use of illicit substances (cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs). Although adolescents use of illicit substances is linked with depression and anxiety, it is also associated with popularity, suggesting that peer influences may actively promote this behavior.

The first style is referred to as strict and authoritarian parenting. This style might be a little autocratic since there is a lot of control of the kid. This is because the child is not permitted to question your suggestions or decisions as a parent. The only thing that a child is expected to do is to obey whatever thing he or she is told. In this parenting style a child will never get a chance to disagree with you.

Undocumented kids are also sometimes separated from their parents on child-protection grounds. Although such measures generally have a stronger legal basis than the cases just described. Some cases include court oversight and there may be evidence of discrimination.

In instances where there has been no neglect or abuse where the only basis for the child's removal is abject poverty and homelessness. Undocumented parents are unable to rely on social welfare benefits. In some cases, because of this economic hardship, their children are viewed as social orphans, separated from the parents, and placed into care.

In case your marriage has emotional, verbal or spiritual abuses protect your kids from it. Most often than not when a spouse is abusing he or she will tend to abuse the children as well. Sometimes if you are the spouse being abused it is a dilemma to protect your kids for protecting them means leaving your spouse. Leaving your spouse especially if you are a mother can bring more problems.

As a parent, you may find it difficult to pull through reading as an activity. But what you do not know is that when children are young they always look forward to time spent with their parents. For this reason they will do anything including reading to ensure that you participate with them. The fact that you will be sharing time together with them brings a lot of love and contentment. Strengthen that bond more by ensuring that you do not miss any schedules activities or time to play with them.
