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 an effective parents have been changing over time. Rn we are in a period of time where it is inappropriate to hit children. We have clashes of values going on in our society rn about hitting, physical threats etc. Intersubjectivity establishes the cultural norms at any given point in time! Only a subjective knowledge base which is based upon what prevailing experts agree on. 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) Can be by neglecting their nutritional need. Raising their anxiety about work and whether they matter.
