parental leave

Examples of parental leave in the following topics:

• Attachment Theory

  • Keeping the parent in close proximity ensures the infant will avoid danger.
  • Separation anxiety (becoming upset when a trusted caregiver leaves) has not set in yet but will be seen in the next stage.
  • For example, children can now understand that a parent returns home from work at a certain time each day, so separation anxiety lessens—although the child may do things to gain extra time with the parent prior to departure or to keep the parent from leaving.
  • Her research showed that children generally use the parent as a secure base from which to explore an unfamiliar room, and they become upset or uncomfortable when the parent leaves and a new individual (not known to the child) enters the room.
  • They do not seem to mind when the caregiver leaves, and they treat the stranger in a similar fashion to the caregiver.

• Childcare

  • Providing benefits such as childcare, maternity/paternity leave, flexible working, and emergency leave is critical for helping employees keep a healthy work/life balance.
  • New parents need more than childcare to fully balance work and life demands.
  • Providing ample time for maternal and paternal leave is critical to empowering employees to adjust to their new responsibilities.
  • Along similar lines, emergency leave is also absolutely necessary in case something happens.
  • Understand the value of various parental benefits from the organizational perspective

• Family Structures

  • The two-parent nuclear family has become less prevalent, and alternative family forms such as, homosexual relationships, single-parent households, and adopting individuals are more common.
  • However, 64 percent of children still reside in a two-parent, household as of 2012.
  • A single parent is a parent who cares for one or more children without the assistance of the other biological parent.
  • The sense of marriage as a "permanent" institution has been weakened, allowing individuals to consider leaving marriages more readily than they may have in the past.
  • About 4 percent of children live with a relative other than a parent.

• Soil Formation

  • Soil formation is the result of a combination of five factors: parent material, climate, topography, biological factors, and time.
  • Five factors account for soil formation: parent material, climate, topography, biological factors, and time.
  • The organic and inorganic material in which soils form is the parent material.
  • Topography affects water runoff, which strips away parent material and affects plant growth.
  • Additionally, leaves and other material that fall from plants decompose and contribute to soil composition.

• Plant Viruses

  • Plant viruses can cause damage to stems, leaves, and fruits and can have a major impact on the economy because of food supply disruptions.
  • Additionally, plant offspring may inherit viral diseases from parent plants.
  • When plant viruses are transferred between different plants, this is known as horizontal transmission; when they are inherited from a parent, this is called vertical transmission.
  • Other viruses induce hypoplasia, or decreased cell growth, in the leaves of plants, causing thin, yellow areas to appear.
  • Other symptoms of plant viruses include malformed leaves, black streaks on the stems of the plants, altered growth of stems, leaves, or fruits, and ring spots, which are circular or linear areas of discoloration found in a leaf.

• Influence of Parenting Style on Child Development

  • There are four main parenting styles that most parents fall into: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved/neglectful.
  • Parenting style refers to the way in which parents choose to raise their children.
  • In her research, Diana Baumrind (1966) found what she considered to be the two basic elements that help shape successful parenting: parental responsiveness and parental demandingness.
  • Through her studies, Baumrind identified three initial parenting styles: authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting, and permissive parenting.
  • Neglectful parents may look to their children for support and guidance, and these children often end up "parenting their parents."

• Family

  • At first, the influence of parents is significant because of how parents help their children to develop political and religious beliefs, lifestyle choices, and consumer preferences.
  • Most people are who they are because of their parents.
  • Once the children leave, the family enters the Empty Nest Stage, which is typically where older married couples (working or retired) no longer have dependent children living with them.

• Parenthood

  • Parenting is usually carried out by the biological parents of the child in question, although governments and society take a role as well.
  • An uninvolved parenting style is when parents are often emotionally absent and sometimes even physically absent.
  • Helicopter Parenting: over-parenting; parents are constantly involving themselves, interrupting the child's ability to function on their own
  • Strict Parenting: focused on strict discipline; demanding, with high expectations from the parents
  • Parenting is a lifelong process.

• Classroom Management

  • It is possibly the most difficult aspect of teaching for many teachers; indeed experiencing classroom management problems causes some to leave teaching altogether.
  • Two of the most important issues are the lack of support from the school administration and parents.
  • Just as students and administration need to know your classroom management techniques, so do parents.
  • Developing a parent, student, teacher contract that will be given out the first day of school.
  • Developing a classroom newsletter that keeps parents informed of what is happening.

• Alcohols

  • According to the IUPAC nomenclature system, an alcohol is named by dropping the terminal "-e" of the parent carbon chain (alkane, alkene, or alkyne in most cases) and the addition of "-ol" as the ending.
  • If the location of the hydroxyl group must be specified, a number is inserted between the parent alkane name and the "-ol" (propan-1-ol) or before the IUPAC name (1-propanol).
  • Since alcohols are able to hydrogen bond, their boiling points are higher than those of their parent molecules.
  • Hydroxyl groups alone are not considered good leaving groups.
  • Often, their participation in nucleophilic substitution reactions is instigated by the protonation of the oxygen atom, leading to the formation a water moiety—a better leaving group.
