Children's Unattachment Disorders
[ send me this paper ]
16 pages in length. The bonding that takes place between parent and infant is not only a natural occurrence but also a highly critical and consequential stage in the development of that child's entire personality. That infants are products of their immediate environment speaks to the importance of positive reinforcement and parenting skills that provide the kind of emotional guidance so crucial to the child's mental composition. If left emotionally unattended, infants learn the opposite lessons required for living within a civilized society, which ultimately brand him an outcast who displays uncontrollable antisocial behavior.

Children: To Spank Or Not To Spank
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Disciplining children has become more and more challenging with the ever-growing perception that spanking is both abusive and unnecessary. Each side of this hotly debated topic maintains reasons why it is either beneficial or detrimental to use spanking as a means of appropriate discipline, citing such aspects as later life psychological issues (critics) and failing to realize the value of a few open-handed swats across the behind (proponents). The extent to which the decision to spank a child has become central to much dispute is both grand and far-reaching; that disciplining children in the twenty-first century must now realize the potential for law enforcement involvement speaks to a forward-moving trend that questions the validity of a long-standing method for correcting misbehavior. When compared with such non-impact punishment alternatives as time-out, spanking has steadily become a least favored approach. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Comparing the “Oedipus Complex” with the “Electra Complex”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the idea that a child is fascinated, obsessed even, with the parent of the opposite sex has served as a literary and psychological debate since, literally, ancient times. Freud saw this as a universal part of childhood development, which in most children is resolved during late childhood.

They love their mother because she satisfies their needs, and they hate their father because he competes for the mother's attention and love. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Comparing Two Books on Children
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page comparison of Kathleen Berger's The Developing Person Through the Life Span and Marjorie Taylor's Imaginary Companions and the Children Who Create Them. These two very different books each address the way that human personality develops. Berger takes a wide perspective that encompasses the way human beings develop over the course of a lifetime. Taylor's book, on the other hand, has a narrow focus on one particular aspect of childhood development, i.e. the way children use fantasy and create imaginary companions. While these books are, of course, very different due to these differences in perspective, they also have similarities in content, which make them complementary in many respects. No additional sources cited.
