2. Respond to jennifer smith:The adjectives that I would use to describe my interactions between my parent would be that of being nosey, inquisitive, focused and close. According to Lundahl and Hull, there is some agreement that childhood starts at or around the age of 3. At this age time is when children remember more and learn more. We are like sponges as we \”soak\” up alot of what we will become in life. (Lundahl & Hull, 2014). Of all the adjectives, I was most focused. I remember my mom used to tell me that as a child that I was always paying attention of people and things around me. I could repeat things that I heard and things that I saw like any older child. I picked up on tasks and activities rather quickly as well. Cutting a straight line and/or coloring were my favorite things that I did rather well as a child. If my mom ever needed me to be occupied all she had to do was to give me a coloring book and I was in \”concentration mode\” for a few hours. I guess that is why my grandmother always sent me crayons and coloring books as gift when I was a child. A child who is focused on a task will not talk alot and will pay closer attention on the tasks that they are working on. (Lam, 2020).
Adjectives that could describe my caregiver, which was my mom, when she interacted with me would be strict, determined, humble, and proud. My mom and I were always very close as I was growing up. Some of that closeness came from the fact that I lost my father when I was very young and maybe she was trying to make up for my having an absent parent and that she was determined to prove to others that a \”foreigner\” was just as able to raise an \”American\” child in a positive way than anyone else could. She felt that she always had to prove herself to others. Some of the things she did or did not allow me and my siblings to do as children I did not understand as a child. But now looking back at my life and what I have been able to accomplish with her guidance and form of discipline, I realize that it helped to shape me into the person that I am now.
As to what advice that I would give to my parent in regards to my academic successes.. I would tell her to continue on the way she was. There was never a time that I didn\’t feel loved. There were times where I felt she was a little more harder on me than she was with my siblings. Because my older sister was born 3 months premature and my younger brother was the baby child and only boy , I felt she was more lenient on them and harder on me. There were times where I felt that I had to be more sensitive to what my siblings were going through and what they lot on life was. I was their protector. ( Newton, Laible, Carlo, Steele, & McGinley, 2014). I would advise to treat us all the same. Whether that would be realistic and come out with a different or better outcome; probably not.
Because each parent is different , their parenting styles will not be the same. Positive parenting styles can be more impactful and show how parents can support more independence in their children, how they offer love and support and even discipline their children. (Lundahl & Hull, 2014)
I loved my mom and respected her role in our family and was more interested in our Hispanic Heritage; so I was closer to her and felt in more important to emulate her. Because of the way i was raised, I was able to achieve what I wanted to achieve.
