Discussion 1
How Parenting has Changed
Ashford University Discussion
In your introduction for this course you were asked to share your perspective on parenting. In this discussion we will build on that idea by looking at how parenting has changed and what parenting looks like today. There are two parts to this discussion.
First, address the following:
Describe at least two ways that you think parenting has changed in the last 25 years.
Then, after reading the article “25 Years of Parenting: A Look Back and a Look Ahead” and section 1.3 of
your course text, address the following:
Explain how your understanding of parenting that you shared in your introduction post does or does not align with the ideas shared in the article.
Discuss at least two ideas that were shared in the article that were surprising to you about how parenting has changed.
Describe how using this information, along with your knowledge of child development, will help your work with families.
Discussion 2
Defining Family
Ashford University Discussion
This course is titled “Understanding Behavior and Family Dynamics.” In order to fully understand these ideas, we must have a thorough understanding of what family is so that we can provide family-centered support. Viewing the child as an integral part of the family helps one develop a more culturally sensitive approach. Everything we do must support the family as a whole in order to be able to advocate for the needs of the children we work with.(Supporting Partnerships for Success, n.d.).
To prepare for this discussion, read Chapter 1 of your course text and watch the video 2010’s American Family Defined:
Then, address the following:
Examine how the definition of family shared in the video 2010’s American Family Defined is similar or different to the definition of family shared in your course text. Make sure to include specific examples to support your examination.
Describe what providing family-centered support means to you. Use the “Guiding Principles of Family Support Programs” document to support your ideas.
Summarize how understanding the definition of family will allow you to be family centered when advocating for children and their families. Support your summary with one additional scholarly source.
Guided Response: Review several of your peers’ responses. Respond to at least two of your peers and share an example of how you will bring one of the ideas they shared about being family centered to life in your work with children and their families.
Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have posted for you. Remember, continuing to engage with peers and the instructor will further the conversation and provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with this topic.

Hi my name is Gloria, I am sixty-three years old, and I plan to graduate in October of 2016 with a Bachelor degree in Organization Manager. I have taken my entire course for my degree I am working on my elective course so I decided to take a minor in child hood development. I thought that it would be a good course since I have work with children all my life, raising ten children and only three from nature birth. I now work with Garland independent school district and come in contact with children every day. I communicate with children every day, I have been working for Garland ISD this year will make eighteen years as an assistant manager, serving hot meals each day it is a pleasure to serve them. They always invite me in the conversation and ask my opinion on whatever they are talking about. I help them through knowledge, everyone come to me for good advice, I listen to everyone problem and try to give the best advice possible and if I don’t have the answer we try to investigate and come up with the right one. I love helping children in any way that I could, I planning on retiring from my job that I have been on for seventeen years with the school. After I retire if I have to go back to work I am leaning toward benign school counselor or an adviser working with children, that is if God allow me to do it. I hope to learn the proper way to deal with children and make the right decision in dealing with children behavior genetics, theory of the mind, and antisocial behavior. I fill that parenting is having patient, communication, and building positive relationships with your children. The goal with parenting children is to teach kids to develop self-discipline.
