Document Summary
General discourse on parenting strategies that discriminate against the health and welfare of children: physical realm, cognitive/intellectual realm, social realm, emotional realm, moral realm, psychological realm. Being abused as a child is not going to always result in future. Intersubjectivity establishes the cultural norms at any given point in time! Times change our perspective of parenting at one time where our values of what is acceptable and not acceptable is emerging and changing. Beating a kid with a stick was okay/acceptable in one point of time. What we know: average 5 kids killed/day by parental figures. What we guess: more than 3 million kids abused or neglected each year. Types of abuses: not mutually exclusive; all exist on a continuum; all have problems when it comes to defining exactly what they are (complicates identification of children at risk) Neglect- when you fail to protect your child- education, physical welfare.
