  • Parents’ educational level when the child was 8 years old significantly predicted educational and occupational success for the child 40 years later. Structural models showed that parental educational level had no direct effects on child educational level or occupational prestige at age 48 but had significant indirect effects that were independent of the other predictor variables’ effects. These indirect effects were mediated through age 19 educational aspirations and age 19 educational level. These results provide strong support for the unique predictive role of parental education on adult outcomes 40 years later and underscore the developmental importance of mediators of parent education effects such as late adolescent achievement and achievement-related aspirations

    This passage shows that the level of education a person attains in their early years will effect the education of their children. This is another effect parents have on their children and future generations simply by their choices in the field of education.

  • Separate research has concluded that around one-in-10 adults never eat a meal with their children and another 10 per cent only share dinners once a week
  • “The decline of family meals has led to the erosion of social skills among youngsters, despite the fact that it is increasingly becoming clear for the future that an ability to get on with people and share ideas will be just as vital in the workplace as the ability to master English and maths,” he said
  • “The over-emphasis on material success and, in education, on valuing attainment only, with too little attention paid to establishing a sense of belonging, has meant that some fundamental values have been inverted. "Essentially, our education system and our culture have got things upside down. We've told our children that they will reach a sense of belonging by means of achieving material success, instead of the other way round.”

    This article shows one area of decline in the traditional family structure. Nutrition suffers when the family does not eat together regularly. Also, children grow up with depleted social skills and disadvantage in the workplace. This is relevant to my research project because I want to study nutrition and plan on having a family on my own so this seemed to be a highly relevant article and potential resource for my project.

  • Society no longer assumes that married parents are the norm. At the same time, social science research has confirmed the wisdom and value of traditional practice. Children do better when raised by their married mother and father.
  • The three most significant reasons children are raised without their married mother and father are unwed pregnancy, cohabitation, and divorce
  • Children raised in intact married families: are more likely to attend college are physically and emotionally healthier are less likely to be physically or sexually abused are less likely to use drugs or alcohol and to commit delinquent behaviors have a decreased risk of divorcing when they get married are less likely to become pregnant/impregnate someone as a teenage

    Games are uniquely positioned to be a key driver of innovation in addressing many challenges facing our planet. Games can inspire action across gender, racial, economic, and cultural barriers. They are being used in areas ranging from early literacy to scientific discovery to sustainable living. However, the impact games sector is still in its infancy and there is both a great need and a great opportunity for innovation in the sector. We invite the world to engage with us in leveraging the power of digital games to address pressing economic, civic, cultural, educational, health, and environmental challenges facing the planet.

  • Neonatal nursing education for the future is being influenced by two forces: expanding knowledge of infant development and health care reform. In response to the former and in anticipation of the latter, the University of Colorado School of Nursing incorporated developmentally based, family-centered care concepts in its recent revision of the master's program in neonatal nursing.

  • Society's cavalier attitude towards marriage and divorce is not a positive phenomenon and has perpetuated a cycle of failed marriages and a lengthy list of associated social problems detrimental to children and to adults
  • nto the divorce culture, notions of same-sex marriage, or any form of contemporary sexual liberation. We must regenerate a culture that understand the significance of marriage and in so doing give our children back their lives and their most basic human right — their mother and father bound together in a faithful marriage covenant.
  • “Divorce can be deceptive — legally it is a single event but psychologically it is a chain, sometimes a never ending chain, of events, relocations and radically shifting relationships strung through time, a process that forever changes the lives of people involved

  • By almost every measure, children of divorce fare worse than their peers in intact families. The children of divorce are more likely to engage in behaviors that lead to higher rates of crime, drug use, child abuse, poor educational performance, higher incidence of behavioral, emotional, physical, and psychiatric problems. Such behavior set in motion a downward cycle of dysfunctional behavior and despair that compounds those problems for their own children and future generations of children. Because of divorce, increasing numbers of children live in economic insecurity and disadvantage, including fragile and unstable family households.
  • “It does not take a village to raise a child. It takes loving, responsible parents, two of them, together for the duration.”
  • divorce negatively impacts husbands, wives and children
  • “A culture of divorce soothes children with antidepressants, consoles them with storybooks on divorce and watches over their lives from family court.”
  • Mounting evidence in social science journals demonstrates that the devastating physical, emotional and financial effects that divorce has on children can last well into adulthood and affect future generations
  • The devastation children feel on the heels of their parents' divorce is similar to the way they feel when a parent suddenly dies
  • Divorce changes the very nature of childhood
  • Divorce can sever the crucial bond between a child and one or both of his or her parents. And tragically, divorce has brought about a mass exodus of fathers away from close association with their children.
  • The family comprises the scaffolding upon which children mount successive developmental stages, from infancy to adolescence. It supports their psychological, physical, and emotional ascent into maturity. When that structure collapses, the child is left impoverished, both economically and emotionally
  • research has shown that a child is better off if the parents resolve their differences and the family remains together, even if the long-term relationship is less than perfect

    This family not only shows the negative results of divorce for children, but it also emphasizes the importance of the opposite. Marriage is shown to be fundamental for children. This fall sunder the categories of divorce and home environment and exposure.
