3. List and explain factors a parent can control that lead to a nurturing environment. Include characteristics of nurturing parents.
4. List and explain factors that lead to poor relationships and that increase the risk of child abuse.
5. Why is it critical for a parent to be involved in their children’s education

Answer 1

1. The difference is that a protective environment keeps their children from experiencing real world experiences and keep them from doing things that other kids are doing. Although a nurturing environment allows their children to grow into adults and recognize and learn from the mistakes that they have made but still lead them to make good decisions and do the right actions.
2. When the children are infants they need help for absolutely everything that they do including eating, going to the bathroom, bathing, etc. Once they get to the toddler age or terrible 2's they need help and lots of attention because this young age can help shape the child's whole life. You need to then teach them to start to care for themselves by potty training them and teaching them how to walk and eat on their own, etc. Once the children get to a young child's age they get more freedom and are not under your supervision at all times and should be attending elementary/ primary school. They need to have good morals and parents should start making good study habits for them in school. Then finally once the children grow into teenagers everything changes.. Teenagers are now young adults who are going to be adults in a few short years. Things that happen during these years can determine their future. For example if a teenager was never taught good study habits and failed through high school in their teenage years, college could very possibly not be in their future. They always will want more freedom but will still need that supportive parent that will help nurture them and guide them to make good choices.
Special needs children definitely do differ on how they grow up. Now I will be speaking broadly through this paragraph because no special need disorder was specified in the question. Every special needs child is different and will need different types of care which is mostly determined by the disability that they suffer from. Special needs children usually need extra care, time, affection, and help than other children do. They need a very supportive and loving parent that can remind them that they are no different and not freaks compared to the other children. As they grow up to be teenagers depending on the disability the development process could be different and the parents should do different things based on the child's needs.
3. To be a nurturing parent you need to be supportive and a good guide to decisions as well as give the children freedom when they deserve it. For this question to make it longer and more accurate I recommend looking throughout your section and reading up on characteristics and such.
4. Some factors could be little communication and little attention like parents who do not care and let their children do whatever they please. Again I recommend looking throughout your section to get the best possible answer.
5. It is very critical because honestly education and morals are two things that definitely make your child's future. If your child tries and does good in school they could get a good paying job in the future unlike a child who just doesn't care or think it matters. So giving your child good studying habits and teaching them how to manage their time to study and do homework is very essential for every child.
