More From America's Worst Mom
I was so shocked to read how a mother let her own son go on a subway in New York which is one of the most dangerous places a child can be in. Also Even though the mother Lenore Skenazy provided her son with a subway map,a MetroCard and money I still thought that she was insane until I read her other two articles one of which is called “More From America's Worst Mom:9-Years-Old on The Subway, Continued” as well as “A Different Kind of Back-to-School Sail” which convinced me that parents are way too protective and they think that they can protect their kids from everything that seems or looks dangerous,by keeping their eyes on them their(children) whole life, even though they(parents)in reality parents can’t protect their children like they think.Plus

    Suicide of Megan Meier and Helicopter Parenting

    Warner says another issue is “the disturbing degree to which today’s parents- and mothers in particular- frequently lose themselves when they get caught up in trying to smooth out, or steamroll over, the social challenges faced by their children” (506). According to Rosalind Wiseman “people now feel like having a good relationship with your child means you’re involved in every aspect of your child’s life,” she continues by saying “nothing is off-limits. There’s no privacy and there’s no critical thinking” (qtd. in 507). Wiseman also recalls stories of parents giving away so called “loot-bags” (qtd. in 507) to lure the in-crowd to parties.…

    Summary Of Op-Education By Frank Bruni

    In his op-ed, author Frank Bruni argues that American parents and teachers are coddling and over protecting their children in general. He states that many parents and administrators wanted a ban against shirts from a bar Mitzvah to be used as “a prophylactic against disappointment” for those who did not attend the party (Bruni, par. 3). From what happened, one parent who did not support the ban felt that teachers and parents were sending their “children in Bubble Wrap”(Bruni, Para.5).Bruni is in support with the idea that parents are ‘bubble-wrapping’ their children too much when he indirectly agreed with the parent’s comment, by hoping that whatever the parent had sarcastically remarked was not true. In addition, Bruni also cites Arne Duncan…

    Do you agree with Gever Tulley that the increasing safety regulations for children are limiting children

    I agree with Gever Tulley that increasing safety regulations for children are limiting children’s opportunities to interact with the world around them because children will explore anything. They will find a way to do whatever they want to do. If you restrict the child from everything, how they are supposed to learn from their mistakes, also kids when they eventually grow up they won’t know what’s right or wrong because they were restricted to explore and experiment when they were smaller.…

    Abortion As Depicted In Steven Dubner's Freakonomics

    They believe that they are doing what is in the best interest for their child by going with their gut-feeling and by following what they think is the best morally accurate decision to make. The average person is most likely going to feel more at ease being around people and things that they’re accustomed to, like a swimming pool or driving in a car. Those things seem more typical and less petrifying than a gun or flying an airplane. For instance, Levitt declared, “If you both own a gun and have a swimming pool in the backyard, the swimming pool is about 100 times more likely to kill a child than he gun is”(146). It is also stated that 375 more children under the age of ten die a year by swimming pools vs. a gun. However, parents do not know of or cannot accept this basic reality and are “terrible risk assessors”(150). Because of this inability to be aware and accept these facts, parents are constantly making the wrong decisions for their children. Another common fear that people have is the fear of flying over driving, and this can be understood because most people drive cars almost daily, and have familiarized themselves with them. However, according to the book, “It is true that many more people die in the United states each year in motor vehicle accidents (roughly forty thousand) than in airplane crashes (fewer than one thousand)”(151). People are thinking based off…

    Rex Walls

    Parents owe children protection, education, love, and many other important things. But children owe parents respect, love, and trustworthiness. “I was too ashamed, mom. I hid.” Mom pointed her chopsticks at me. “You see?” She said, “Right there. That’s exactly what I’m saying. You’re way too easily embarrassed. Your father and I are who we are. Accept it.” We can all agree that the parents hold up the heavier side of this conversation, but no one can argue that children owe important things to their parents. “One time I saw a tiny Joshua tree sapling growing not too far from the old tree. I wanted to dig it up and replant it near our house. I told Mom that I would protect it from the wind and water it every day so that it could grow nice and tall and straight. Mom frowned at me. "You'd be destroying what makes it special," she said. "It's the Joshua tree's struggle that gives it its beauty.” Parents need to give their children space to grow by themselves. The parent’s duty is to make sure the child grows up in a good environment with education. But the little things like giving a little leeway can make all the difference in the world for your child growing up. Parents also owe their children protection, although protection wasn’t always the top of their lists. Rex walls and Rose Mary knew that keeping their child safe was more important than themselves.…

    Child Abusive Parents Should Be Put In Jail

    Abusive parents who are allowed to see their children will continue to abuse them. Parents target defenseless children. Children do not have a voice against their abusive parents. We must stop the cycle of child abuse. “There is considerable evidence to support the notion that violence breeds violence.” (Grapes 78) “A large majority of abusing parents were abused as children.” (Grapes 79). Children who speak out against abuse in their home should always be taken seriously and abuse investigations must be thorough. We can stop child abuse if we put abusive parents in jail, removing them from abuse opportunities…

    A creation intended to bring joy and laughter to children across the world minions have turned into one of the greatest memes there is. Aside from being a meme minions have grown to be much more. They have become a fundamental element or building block of society or in other words have become a cultural trait. While cultural traits may assume many forms Minions can fall under any number of them. Taking over the image of many products during Universals advertising push Minions have become the faces of many products such as Twinkies and Amazon; brands that otherwise have no mascot.
