The impact of media on parenting.

My little story exploring the media usage impact. First of all, I would like to underline that fact I was a child growing up during the time when media usage was only getting popular and I can say my parents mixed their own experience in parentage and information from mediated spheres they were interested in, like newspapers, TV shows, printed and online tools about bringing up children that is why media influenced on me as on child. Now, I am an adult and I can access how barely media changed my life during my younger ages. My parents are involved in completely different spheres because my mother is a - lawyer and my father is working in one of the biggest oil and gas producting company in Kazakhstan. My mother was had to quite her job after my birth and was fully involved in parenthood and decided to use every valuable allowance about parenting and looking back now I remember how our home library was full of magazines and books about parentage, in television channels packages every

Sources and descriptions for futher researches about influence of media on parenting. 1. Parents connect. The children's network many of you grew up watching on TV is still trying to reach you on the Internet via its parenting social network site ParentsConnect.com. Viacom, the parent company that brought you Nickelodeon, has a comprehensive site where mothers and fathers (current, potential or soon-to-be) can share their thoughts with others in the same boat.  The underlying theme of ParentsConnect is that parenting isn't an exact science. That's why the site offers tips and advice for parents beginning at pregnancy and stretching all the way through the teen years. The community section offers users the opportunity to participate in discussions and join user groups with parents of similar tastes and preferences. Users can also share shopping deals found on the Internet or in local communities, share recipes and advice on food and search for local events for children and f

 Shaming your kids on social media can be psychologically harmful, parenting experts say. Charles Helwig, a professor of developmental psychology at the University of Toronto, said research has shown that using “psychological control” as a means of trying to improve behaviour is associated with an increased incidence of depression and anxiety in children.  But “when you put it on social media, it’s essentially permanent, so it’s something that can come back to haunt the children throughout their lives. Publicizing it in this way is something that can’t be taken back. “So it adds to the potential embarrassment and harm.” Children as young as 5 start caring about their reputations, according to a research review published in March in Trends in Cognitive Sciences journal. In the article, researchers note kids will change their behaviour based on how they believe it will affect their image. Schafer said that if a child feels guilty about something they’ve been admonished about, they don’t

Social media can cause parents to second guess themselves. Social media can impact   children , and it can also affect parents by making them feel like there is someone watching and judging everything they're doing.  Dr. Harvey Karp, pediatrician, children's environmental health advocate and founder of   Happiest Baby , told Insider that seeing the polished, idealized visions of what being a parent should be on social media can make parents seriously question their choices. "Idealized online posts] can make new moms and dads doubt that they're 'doing it right,' and can lead to analysis paralysis every time they enter a discussion about parenting, like figuring out the best, smartest, most moral decisions on things like vaccinations and bed-sharing," said Karp.  Today, some parents might feel inclined to be "best friends" with their children. These days, there's a good chance you've seen parents post photos of their kids with captions like

Current Events II. Mediation of parenting from view of a child. Media evidently becoming an indispensable part of our life day by day. Mediating of parenting is one of the steps on the way to follow the pass of modernizing the parentage and childhood. From this view I need to show how media can sometimes impact negatively on children. Media usage is making life better of course, but children can treat everything too close because younger people have clear minds and supposed to react on problems dramatically and don’t have that ability to summarize all aspects and make distinct decisions. I asked my close friend to share her story with me. Her name is Miya, she is 18 years old and she has a story how media presence affected on her relationships with her mother in her childhood till teen ages. Miya, 18 years old, Prague. “Miya grew up in family with only one parent and her mother has big influence on her from her childhood. She was born in time when media was already normal stage o

  Current Events I. Impact of media from a view of a parent. To fully reveal the idea of my blog I decided to use both sides of the problem from the view of  parents and from the view of children in order to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of living in a family in a period of time when media can replace real communicating skills. I made a little research among parents and children with whom I am closely communicating daily to expose how they react on challenges on the way of being in a good relationships with children/parents and how media helps them or can influence negatively instead. I have an opinion that clear vision of positive and negative sides of several problem can influence on reader’s mind because it is very important to me to show the dilemma from both sides. Here is the true story of Martha- the mother of two wonderful children (Alex and Jane) and how media usage successfully helped her to raise her elder son and little daughter in a period of time when media o
