Family Influences

Religion

Relationships

Religion and Child Development

Religion

Sometimes when religions are enforced and taught, there are missed opportunities, stricter rules, and expectations for children when growing up.

Strict religions can over dictate a child’s life, enforce fear of disobeying and standing up for their own beliefs, and gives them less social opportunities.

Relationships Influences and Child Development

Relationships

Children are required to learn to use emotions like sympathy and respect to build positive relationships.

Relationship interactions can build/break/damage a child's confidence, resilience, and communication skills.

Interactions help build who they will become when growing up.

Relationships can either help prevent mental illnesses when good, or cause some such as depression/low self-esteem when bad.

Parenting Choice Influences

Spanking

Parent Expectations

Stay-at-Home Parents

Working Parents

Other Punishments

Spanking and Child Development

Spanking

Spanking can cause issues in socio-emotional development, self-image, and regulation.

It can lead to increased aggression, self-harm, and serious mental health issues, cause issues between parents and the child, and relationship/social setting issues later for the child.

Spanking can even alter a brain's response and increase perception of threats.

Parent Expectations and Child Development

Parent Expectations

Expectations help children form a path, develop trust between them and the parents, and lets kids build a sense of responsibility and independence.

But, sometimes parent's expectations are based on the parent's wants, meaning the child isn’t going for their own desires. Expectations can result in disappointment if the kid doesn’t meet them, this could lead to low self-esteem.

Stay-at-Home Parents and Child Development

Stay-at-Home Parents

The child could do better academically with the help of their parents and their more available time.

But, there is a possibility of the child missing out in social activities like daycare (and possibility of making lifelong, childhood friends)

However, that child may have a better emotional bond with their parent and be able to develop at their own rate; not under the stress of daycare expectations

Working Parents and Child Development

Working Parents

Over-working and not having a balanced plate between work and care giving can cause behavioral problems, and lower emotional health.

However, a balanced plate between the two can benefit the kid to be emotionally healthy, and be able to achieve academically.

Other Punishments and Child Development

Other

Punishments

Other physical punishments (other than spanking) can cause children to be anxious, afraid of being punished, and even strive to do things. It can even effect their romantic relationships later in life.

Some punishments have the ability to cause lower intellectual achievements, affect a child's ability to learn, and even be motivated for anything in life. (verbal, constructive criticism can help stimulate cognitive development)

Some punishments are associated with aggression, depression, and lowered morale. They can often make kids feel less worthy, or supported/loved.

It is also possible for punishments to cause antisocial behavior, poor relationships with parents and peers, and also impact how they can deal with situations, and solve problems. This means they could transfer how they were treated to others growing up.

It is important to remember that verbal, or positive criticism can help a child feel better, strive to reach goals, be motivated, and also stimulate certain areas of development.

A Parent's Life and Child Development

Parents Upbringing

A Parent's Life

Divorce and Child Development

Divorce

Kids are able to see things through other perspectives from people like step-parents or siblings.

While others may find it too hard to adapt to these changes and have issues accepting. This can also affect their academic ability.

Children may experience lower well-being, may feel the divorce is their fault, that they may not continue to be loved, may experience anger, stress, and even have trouble regulating feelings.

Children of divorce may be more prone to sickness and health concerns. They may lose sleep, which is detrimental to development, and even find it harder to complete daily tasks.

Children may even be unfortunate to lose a relationship or contact with one parent, and even lose socialization wants with the other. They may even feel more lost if a parent goes through a remarriage.

Remarriage and Child Development

Remarriage

It is possible for children who aren't in an intact biological family to have a physical disability or be more prone to one as well as have decreased academic success. Kids in this situation may even struggle with conflict resolution.

Children without an intact family may struggle socially, have lessened relationships, and weaken others.

Children may struggle with confusion, pain, anger, and the feeling of abandonment during remarriage.

These kids might feel like they have to compete with the step-family for attention from their biological family. This can also cause issues with behavioral development, and mental health. Long term, kids exposed to this can even be at an increased risk of substance abuse.

Parent Stress and Child Development

While pregnant, stress from the mother can affect the development of a baby's brain in the utero.

Stressed out parents are more likely to make poor choices, which the child will most likely mimic later on.

Stress a parent has can even result in mental illness and behavioral issues for the child.

However, in small doses stress can increase alertness and memory, as well as boost cognitive performance.

Children can also learn from their parents mistakes.

Parent Stress

Parent's Upbringing and Child Development

Parent's Upbringing

Depending on what a parent learned as a child, they can pass on their teachings and importance of the stuff they have learned.

A parent that has been involved with substance abuse can affect their child's cognitive development, problem solving skills and regulation skills. A child can even abuse substances easier if their parents were/are involved in it.

A parent that lacks communication skills can affect their kid's emotional skills and ability to communicate effectively.

In addition, a parent that may have been in a neglectful home may in turn treat their child like that as it is all they know, or will totally flip and "people-please" which won't teach kids concepts like sharing, or can make a kid selfish and full of themselves. (always getting what they want).

A parent who had a sporty childhood is more likely to encourage their kids to be active or engage in competitive sports like they did; bettering motor skills and sense of teamwork.

Parents who were raised in a tough way and with economic hardships are more likely to be more easily frustrated and cause negative interactions and relationships with their children.

Depending on how a parent was brought up and dealt with cultural backgrounds and gender freedoms, a child could follow in their footsteps and not gain their own opinion, or outlook on what is right and wrong.
