HW 58

I did not know that Mellisa had children but when she came to speak to us she seem like she had the ideal family. A girl and a boy , about two years apart. She mentioned the age difference was perfect because it kept them at the same level. When she started talking about her rules while parenting her children i thought to myself , "She has it completely under control". I fell inlove with the way she parent her kids. Monitoring the time on the internet and television was what i was most impressed by. This connected to an earlier unit in Andy's class about the amount of hours people spend dependent on technology and media. I also really liked the fact that she read to them every night. This is something that parents rarely do.
When she mentioned the amount of books she read before becoming a parent i was completely shocked. All this time i thought parenting was a natural insist. Now im not sure how much i agree to referring to books to raise your children but i was impressed by the fact that she educated yourself. I have never thought of parenting this way but it definitely opened my eyes. When i have children i was to be well informed of the right things to do. Like the articles we spoke about in class , when you think your being a good parents , the results in your kids could be the opposite affect.

From the day a baby is born it is important to surround it by positive energy. What i mean by this is that the type of person a baby becomes is influence by everything is it surrounded by. From the way their were raised to the friends they have to the education they receive. I think many people even after having kids dont see the importance in the whole process. When a female becomes a mother , they are a mother for life , not just for a short moment. When people , mostly teenagers, have kids knowing they cannot provide the best for the child , i think its a crime.
