Do you have a child or are you going to have a child soon? Are you concerned about his behavior? Would you like to know which parenting style is right for your child? In this essay, I will discuss an interview I did with two parents about their child, and I will relate it to several theories or topics related to child development, so that you can treat your own child appropriately. First, I will discuss biological beginnings, which are related to parents in preparing for pregnancy and childbirth. Secondly, I will present parenting styles according to psychologists and how these styles influence the child and affect their physical development, such as physical well-being. Finally, I will talk about the “Bronfrenbrenner model” which is linked to the effects that influence the child. The child I'm going to talk about is called Hassan. He is 5 years old, first grade student. Hassan was born in Bahrain, but has lived with his family in Australia since he was 2 years old. He's a smart boy. He also likes to draw and play with other children. At home he speaks mostly Arabic, but sometimes he speaks English because they live in Australia, and he speaks English all the time at school with his friends. So sometimes he can't express what he wants in Arabic. Hassan only has one sister, and he is the youngest. As I spoke with Hassan's mother, she told me that she prepared herself emotionally before having Hassan. On the one hand, she read books about pregnancy, baby growth and took classes on childbirth. On the other hand, she said she wishes someone had told her to make a schedule for him. After having the child, his life was no longer happening... middle of paper ......n, I think you should not act or raise your child the way other people do; you need to find the best style that suits your child.
