Chapter 6

Okay so the last chapter we had to read in psychology was okay. For whatever reason couldnt really get into reading it though. I know this isnt good, but the first chapter was about  women getting pregnant and how the womens makes everything inorder to carry the baby was pretty cool to read about. I wish they would of gone more into detail on the whole  different stages of the human life. It was cool though to read about the studys they did and and how monkeys did or not react to the fake mothers. When it comes to child reacting to different people I can kinda see how it doesnt matter who picks them up when they are very little to feed or rock them to sleep. Once children get a little older and begin to relaize faces I think its harded for children to just go to any adult that wants to pick them up or feed them. So that study with the monkeys did make me think about how children act when their new borns up until there about 1 year of age. I'm not a mother and I cant relate much to the whole given birth topic in this area. One thing that I found to be really internesting was the fact that the human brian still continues to develop into our 20's which I never knew. I'm in my late 20's and I make me think about myself and how much my mind how changed since I was in my teens and how I better understand what I read and learn. When it comes to parenting they had a whole area on this topic in our text book which talked about two different styles of parenting and how one was better then the other. When I grow up my parents weren't either one of those styles that the book listed which were authoritarian & authoritative. I would have to say my mom did most of the parenting or I should say rule making in my house when it came to rising me. My mother's style of parenting was in the middle of those two because she did try to example and reason with me to find a happy middle ground. If for whatever reason this did not work out and I was still not listening or doing something I shouldn't there would be a punishment that followed. After reading this area one of my friends had a child 2 yrs ago and she let's her son rule her life and he is a beast on wheels. So I say her style of parenting was more along the lines of permissive. Which I was shocked she was that way with her child because when she grow up her parents were very demanding of her and her 7 siblings.Now we have to read chapter 7 and tested for the mid term test. I hope this next chapter is better. Like ive said before I just cant get into this class for some reason. I dont why I find this class so hard and I just cant get into most of the chapters. Hopefully Now that this will be my only class as of Feb 27th maybe ill be able to get more into this class. :/
