This paper takes a look at the subtle but distinct difference when one compares the lives of children raised in a two-parent household versus those raised in a single parent household.

This 6 page paper explores the realities and experiences of the socialization process between wealthy children and poor children. The differences between rich children and poor children is not something a child is born knowing. He or she is simply a child among other children regardless of how much money mommy and daddy make.

Spanking: Inappropriate Punishment
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. The combination of parental encouragement and consistent, constructive discipline provides a basis upon which children can learn the difference between what is allowed and what is not without the negative impact of guilt and shame. If this is not the scenario into which children are raised, however, and instead receive all their discipline by way of corporal punishment (spanking), they are prone to developing aggressive, antisocial patterns that revolve around such negativity.

Spare the Rod?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper on corporal punishment. Spanking has been used by parents as a form of discipline since the beginning of time but that does not make it right. Research has, more often than not, shown that spanking actually increases negative behavior, rather than putting an end to it. A specific study is illustrated which demonstrates how poorly the spanked child's behavior remains the same, or worsens, because of the spanking. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
