Theory and Practice of Counselling Vignette one 1 Jack is a victim of two types of parents with different parenting styles. His father was harsh, cruel, and authoritative. His father could not stand any form of rebellion from Jack. On the other hand, his mother was a welcoming mother who could do anything to protect him. His mother also provided him with unlimited love. The result of the different parenting styles was that Jack developed resistance to his father’s command and orders. When his parents divorced when he was 18, he now had the freedom to do anything he pleased without listening to orders or advice from his father.   Jack grew, knowing that the only person capable of loving him unconditionally was his mother. The thought became imbedded in him such that even when he grew up, he could not trust anyone. That is the reason in his relationships; he could not think of anyone else apart from himself. Such feelings were as a result of the love his mother offered him. Jack may find it hard to forge…

parents are legal guardians of their children for at least 18 years First of all, parents are legal guardians of their children for at least 18 years, or in some countries even longer. According to bib.irb.hr.com, parenting is one of the most crucial jobs that a parent can have. Parents or the period of those 18 years children are entirely dependent on their parents, which means children aren’t capable of taking care of themselves financially, emotionally, etc. If there were to be a parental licensing test, parents who pass should, of course, get to keep their child, but if they fail, they should repeat the exam; however, they shouldn’t get their child confiscated from them.   According to amc.edu.com, there are a lot of concerns with parental license, and one of them is that it may be difficult or even improbable for less powerful groups or religion to become parents. In particular, a Christian may have an advantage over a Muslim in becoming a parent because the country in which they reside may be based on the Christian religion. Additionally,…

Parental involvement Introduction Parental involvement describes a parent’s level of participation in his or her child’s schooling and life. It has a significant impact on children’s learning, education, and achievement. When learners know that they are receiving support from outside and inside the school environment, they improve their chances of becoming active and responsible in life. Parents are their children’s first teachers. The current concept of learning is focused on enhancing the child, both academically, socially, and emotionally. Schools and parents have partnered to help children acquire the appropriate knowledge to better their lives in the future. Programs have been implemented across various learning institutions to enable parents to become actively involved in the education of their children. Children should be taught what they require to achieve success in their lives. Therefore, parents should learn how to manage their children at home to enhance their academic achievements. In the past two decades, active parental involvement has demonstrated significant progress in terms of improving learners’ accomplishments. However, apart from parental involvement, other factors influence learning achievement. These include social, economic status,…

Colonialism in Indigenous People             Understanding how indigenous people were forced to disconnect from their land, cultural practices, and community by another group, Canada colonialism displays the entire process well (Borrows, 2002). The main target for colonialism is gaining access to resources in an area. Colonialism is still alive today though it is rooted in the history of Canada. The Canadian government provides support to industries in the northern parts of Canada in taking over the northland for resource extraction and removal of the indigenous people from it (Grant, 2011). An alert was called upon by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to make it clear regarding the understanding of the history of Canada with the indigenous people, thus reconciliation and rebuilding of the broken relationships. Through this amendment in the historical agreement, northern communities, and the diversified women residing in those communities would promote working together, thus influencing the local development of resources (Borrows, 2002). This case study outlines factors that affect the development of family members and how the long-term effects of colonial practices still impact current Indigenous childhood…

aAttachment Theory And Styles  There exists an attachment theory, which helps to define the relationship between human beings. The most important fact about the theory is that it helps out every young child to develop a strong relationship with at least one of the primary caregivers, either emotionally and socially. This emotional and physical attachment would be very crucial for personal development. Therefore, there is a need for this theory to be taken into consideration during the growth of the kids. According to the attachment theory, I have developed some key styles which are very evident, which I believe are very significant for personal growth and that of the other people whom I relate with. Here are some of the styles: The first style which I have adopted from the theory is secure attachment. In this case, is where I have securely felt more satisfied within my relationship despite the circumstances which I may go through. For instance, my children have felt secured due to the bold attachment, which I hold with the kids. It has helped them to be…

Response to a prompt Introduction Patching is right when he argues that different attitudes and behaviors bring out different results in people. In this essay, the causes and effects of such practices and attitudes have been provided. Also, I have given my opinion on whether I fit into Patching’s classifications. The view has been supported by my experience relative to the textual passage. What has contributed to “Train Wrecked” and “Zombie Train Wrecked” student behavior? “Train Wrecked” and “zombie Train Wrecked” behavior has been contributed by the unavailability of parenting in homes and parents who are train wrecks and zombie train wrecks. Also, the conduct of such students has been dramatically influenced by the high school educational system. The teachers in secondary schools and some college professors always behave like these students. Hence, they create an environment where the students can choose to learn or not to learn.   What are the attitudes and behaviors that are symptomatic of “Train Wrecks” and “Zombie Train wrecks”? Both Train Wrecks and Zombie Train Wrecks assume that they can effectively use ‘bad science’…

POOR MEDICATION ADHERENCE IN TYPE 2 DIABETES Introduction   Approximately 45 % of patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) fail to achieve glycaemic threshold control. The failure has been attributed to poor mediation adherence. Polonsky and Henry (2016) document that poor medication adherence in T2D is widespread, and it is associated with increased costs of outpatient care, hospitalization, emergency room visits, increased mortality and morbidity, inadequate glycaemic control, and managing diabetes complications. This essay, however, links poor medication adherence to key non-patient factors, including lack of clinical inertia among health care practitioners and care in various health care systems. In T2D medication adherence, specific barriers, especially those that are potentially modifiable, should be identified clearly; approaches meant for poor medication adherence should focus on addressing negative medication beliefs and reduce medication encumbrances Critical Analysis Diabetes is a disease that affects the body’s ability to produce or be able to use the insulin that turns the food that we eat into energy. Worldwide, the prevalence of T2D is at epidemic proportions. Its incidence and prevalence and incidence continues to rise. According…
