"Compare at least four of the poems you have studied where parent child feelings are shown. Write about On My First Sonne, one poem by Carol Ann Duffy, one by Simon Armitage and one poem from the Pre-1914 bank."

"Compare at least four of the poems you have studied where parent child feelings are shown. Write about On My First Sonne, one poem by Carol Ann Duffy, one by Simon Armitage and one poem from the Pre-1914 bank." All of the poems are about emotions and parent child relationships. In Before You Were Mine, the girl idolises and loves her mother. Whereas the man in Kid feels angry towards his father, and resents him too. In the poem On My First Sonne, the father loves his son a lot and feels grief for his dead son. Which is different from The Song Of The Old Mother as in this the mother is angry and annoyed at her children. I shall look for similarities and differences in the parent child relationships that are in all four of the poems. The use of structure in Kid shows the past and present in a chronological way, it's like a monologue. I know this because the lines one to five are about past events from when he was a child, "when you gave me the order to grow up." The middle lines show the present "you baby, now I'm the real boy wonder." This is effective because this shows the father son relationship between them from the past, when Kid had suffered to the present where he has learnt from the mistakes in his life. This structure is similar to Before You Were Mine as it is also structured in a chronological way. The mother's life has been explored this way in each verse.

Discuss the nature-nurture debate in relation to individual development.

Lindsey Storey Unit 4 M1/D1 Jasmine Welfoot Father 50% DNA 50% Personality 50% DNA 50% Personality Mother You Discuss the nature-nurture debate in relation to individual development. What is Nature? Nature is part of a debate that has been going on for years; this part of the debate is about the characteristics. People who believe in the Nature instead of nurture believe that all characteristics of a person are inherited from the parents. This is from eye and hair colour to behaviour and personality. The Nature argument is about the genetic parts of our development, people believe that you inherit your behaviour, looks and personality from your parents. Examples of this could be the diagram, Nature believers believe that your inherit 50% personality, this could be your father is quiet, you are quiet, this has not been proven though. Example of Nature A Young Couple who have both got university degrees and have well-paid jobs, have a baby and as the baby grows up, it is shown that the child is smart, while the parents believe this is because they are both smart, others could believe that maybe the couple have taught the child, e.g. children’s books and tutors. While the Parents believe it was the nature side of the debate others could think it was the nurture of the parents. Example of Nature A man who has been to prison many times for aggressive

Describe the expected stage of social development of children aged 4 years.

Unit 2- The Developing Child Chloe Lukes D1- Describe the expected stage of social development of children aged 4 years. Four-year-olds can usually play happily with other children. Your child is learning to understand about the feelings and needs of others, and can feel sympathy for others. At this age, your child will be organising games and making friends. He can share toys and take turns at least some of the time. But four-year-olds can also be quite bossy, so he might still have a few tantrums when he doesn’t get what he wants. She might have some favourite games that let her try out adult roles, like ‘mummies and daddies’ or ‘superheroes’. D2- Describe the expected stage of social development of children aged 5 years. Fiver year olds are becoming more independent and in control of their behaviour. There will be fewer arguments and few tantrums. They are beginning to understand what it means to follow rules in a game and to be fair. However expect at times that it may be too much to cope with, and he will cheat or get upset or not want to play. Five year olds love to play together rather than playing by themselves. They will often ask for permission before they do something as they are starting to learn about rules and right and wrong. “Can I” can be heard often.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different family types

Nuclear family-A couple and their dependent children, regarded as a basic social unit. Advantages of a nuclear family are: . A Stable Environment: Children raised in a family with the same parents during their growing years have a higher likelihood of having stability in their relationship and emotional bonding. 2. Behavioural Stability: With both the father and the mother, children get a better sense of what is acceptable and unacceptable. 3. A Sense of Consistency: When children grow up in a nuclear family, they get a sense consistency, especially when it also includes closeness with other members of the family such as grandparents. 4. Learning Skills: In a nuclear family, children usually get far more extensive training in life skills. For instance, mothers usually teach their children relationship skills, like emotional response skills and how to have smooth relations with others, while fathers, in general, teach their children handiwork skills and sports skills, like fixing things around the house or hitting a baseball, as well as how to deal with the world outside. 5. Sharing Responsibility: With two parents sharing the responsibility of raising the children, it enables one parent to take time to pursue other interests or get a rest while the other parent plays or works with the children. 6. Physical and Emotional Support: Nuclear families usually have more
