The idea behind boot camps is that if the child is yelled at and punished hard enough, they will eventually obey theyre orders. Although this theory works in the short term, the long lasting effects of it are questionable. By sending youre emotionally troubled teen away to a camp where they are getting yelled at, will only create more anger in youre child towards authority figures. This is also not helping youre child get along in the real world, where compromise, respect and cooperation are vital social skills in any society. By teaching them that the most callous, loud and angry person wins they are not going to realize the real consequences of their behavior.

If you have a child suffering from emotional or behavioral problems, sending them to a person who is going to break them down might be setting your child up for even larger issues when they reach adult hood. Before you send your teen away to boot camp, consider a more sensitive, therapeutic approach that will help your child solve their problems as well as teach them that compassion and tolerance are the real keys to living a happy successful life.

Child Care Going Professional

Child care entails more than just simply raising, educating and disciplining a child. Today, the child care industry is booming. It has now become mainstream business and the emergence of a host of child care centers up and down the country is a testament to the increasing demand for professional child care services in the modern society. Peoples view on child care have shifted over the years as parents are now more open-minded to using new methods of raising children. This evolution is a far cry from when the mother, grandparents and nanny, if one could afford it, did most if not all of the looking after of the children.

Given more women are now entering the workforce than 50 years ago, the responsibilities of caring for a child no longer sit squarely on the parents shoulders. The modern society is a lot more sophisticated now and the way children are raised today is getting more complicated. Professional carers enter this field to pick up the slack. It can be a godsend for some parents who have to work long hours to pay the bills and simply couldnt find enough time to interact with their children, much less providing round the clock care for them. It provides parents with the peace of mind that their children are getting professional care from people who are specially trained to take care of young children while they are away at work.

Many nurseries have mushroomed in recent years to take care of infants as well. Although this service may not be everyones cup of tea as most mothers will find it difficult to entrust their new born or young toddlers to someone else, there is still a demand for them nonetheless. Local community centers that are registered can refer parents to qualified child care professionals. Alternatively, getting personal recommendations from other parents or a friend is a good way of finding a good child care center.

Sending a child to a child care center still proves to be controversial. Some parents are adamant that every child needs the personal love and warmth of their parents as opposed to some stranger at a child care center. Others argue placing children in the hands of professionally trained people will greatly enhance a childs social skills as they will be interacting with other children. They learn to be adaptive and will also learn to share and care about others compared to a solitary child whose only interaction is with the parents and family members.

Many children are being left on their own, also known as 'latchkey children', because more and more families need two bread-winners, just to be able to live comfortably. Children are usually told to go directly home after school, until their parents return from work, in turn promoting the lack of social skills in children.

Education equips children for every day life in a world that, we, as grown-ups no longer understand because the technological and intellectual levels of teaching have changed. Children now need different skills, often taught in a different way from the way their parents learned, isolating the children and parents from one another through differences in their knowledge.

Loneliness can occur during any disruptions within the family such as divorce, separation, moving to another town, the loss of a close relationship and the dissatisfaction of an existing relationship. Adapting to any changes may be hardest on the children, because if there was a time in which they needed anyone, it is now. Unfortunately, the parents do not seem to have time to spend with the children as they are adjusting to the change themselves.

Society has encouraged loneliness within many individuals by the process of classifying people into groups on the basis of common attributes, this process is known as social categorization. For example, society assumes that a person who is attractive also has desirable personality characteristics, this type of bias is known as ' the what is beautiful is good stereotype.' These stereotypes leave young adults with the feeling of rejection, leading to loneliness, because they do not have what it takes to be popular.

During adolescents the teenager is very self-conscious and aware of how they are perceived by others. The media elaborates on statements such as, 'the thin look is in.' This leads the teenager to try and change into what they are not, only satisfying the expectations of society.

Society often assumes that the relationship between the elderly and being feeble are correlated. Many people often stereotype the elderly as being unable to take care of themselves and that they are a burden on society until they die. Some elderly may assume that this is the way in which they are expected to behave in society, this causes them to be depressed and lonely.

Through the years, adults just do not have time for their parents anymore and so they place them in Nursing Homes to be cared for by others. The sad thing is that many do not return to visit with their parents.
