Unlike the Toulmin and Rogerian methods where one side is argued over another, the middle ground argument mediates between two sides of an issue, finding a middle ground solution.In other words, this argumentative position seeks to forward a compromise solution between two positions.

For this discussion, choose an issue that you wrote about previously in this course (either your Toulmin or Rogerian essay).Let the class know your previous claim and briefly how you proved this claim in your essay.After this brief review discussion, discuss how you would have approached this particular topic if you were to write a middle ground argument, instead of a Toulmin or Rogerian argument.Would you have adjusted your claim?If so, what sort of adjustment would you need?Would you have to find additional sources about your topic in order to prove this new claim? Is a middle ground solution a more practical solution to your chosen issue?

In your response to your classmate, let your classmate know which argument appears to be stronger: the original claim or the new middle ground claim.Please make sure to explain why.If you disagree with both claims, thats fine let your classmate know why you disagree in a bias-free manner.

Center based child misses out parent child interaction

Center based child misses out parent child interaction.

Children are placed in child care centers due to different circumstances one of them being work pressure for both parents. The other reason is that the child might be an orphan. In some circumstances professionals such as paediatricians advice parents to take their children to child centers so that they can be given good care by people who are qualified to handle children affairs. Children with special needs who attend child care centers at an early age miss out important learning that occurs in parental child interaction. One might question how a child who goes to daycare behavior might be different compared to a child that stays at home with parents. Depending on various circumstances, a child who attends daycare may be better prepared than kids who stay home exclusively with their parents. Judith Katz, an administrator from Minee Subee Early Education and Childcare centers says While an ordinary daycare may watch over your child with safety in mind until pickup, an extraordinary daycare center may dedicate themselves to helping prepare your child for the future.

To start with, entrusting children to someone else’s care, even for just part of the day, can be troubling for most parents. This leads to a weaker bond between mother and child, particular in the infant and toddler stage. The American Academy of Pediatrics warns that illness often spreads easily when children congregate together in venues such as daycare and school. Frequent and thorough hand washing with antibacterial soap serves as a means of reducing the spread of illness in the home. This alone proves that the children are always at risk of getting infections.

Parent and family characteristics are more strongly linked to child development than were child care centers features. The childs outcome is better when the mother is responsive, sensitive, and attentive and provide good stimulation to their child. Families with organized routines, books, play materials and engaged in outings and library trips have their children have good social and cognitive outcomes. In child care centers, most of these services may not be given to the child. Most child care Centre provide warm, supportive environment that protect the childs health and safety but do not provide care giving which promotes and stimulates development. Parents value both compliance and social skills more than caretaker. This kind of personal attachment makes the child feel valued and important which stimulates childs development. This personal touch provided by the parent is not given to the children in child care Centre. Where parent is mostly involved in child growth, childs developing sense of independence, self-concept and self-esteem is supported. Parents usually make their children feel needed since they keep on seeking assistance from them a characteristic which is not evident in child care Centre. This eventually makes the child feel important and valued. By using words like please and thank you the child feels appreciated. Parents usually make approvals through praise and appreciate the well-done of their child which boosts their confidence.

Parents talk to their children firmly and with confidence a character caretakers are unable to show, depending on the child handler, the child might be harassed. This makes the child respond accordingly by developing certain bad attitudes. Also body language from the parent speaks a lot to the child. This helps a child on how to make good choices and make corrections on mistakes. A parent usually explains to their child their expectations and gives their child activities they will enjoy. This will prepare the child responsibility.

Parents may seek advice from expertise. This will make them get positive response from their child. Parents usually lead and teach their child. They provide attitudes and techniques which prepare their child towards positive behavior. Parents plans frequent breaks for their child something caretaker dont do. They set up open-ended play for their child with crafts materials, blocks, dolls, bubbles, play dough sand or even water. Also parents have flexible routine which meet childs true wants and needs unlike where in care Centre the program is more complicated.

 

Parents are better involved in the schooling of child better at early stage, this brings better academic and social outcome. Parents who are involved are more likely to understand and support any particular approaches that are based on the child. These will make the child perform better, settle observe and learn positive interactions. Since each child has individual strengths, needs and interests, parents are able to understand childs learning experiences better since have more time with the child unlike caretaker who have to attend to more children. This will make the child more relevant meaningful and respectful based on how child learn. Katz also informs us that usually when children are attending an early education facility, they are given the chance to socialize and interact with various children of similar age groups. While interacting with their peers they observe manners and learn important lessons like how to share and resolve a conflict. These are very important skills that will prepare them for the future. A child who stays home with a parent or the babysitter dont gain nearly as much experience.

The emotional climate of a child has significant effect on the relationship between child and care provider. Children feel more secure, listen and respected under their parents thus have meaningful and responsive interactions with others which will exhibit appropriate behaviors. Parents have constant input of sincere positive reinforcement which helps children feel good about them. Parents are more personal guides, supporter and protector to their children.

In some instances, child care centers are more preferable. Children with special needs are better placed in child care Centre than home. Its said that when placed in care Centres have better outcome since are able to control and manage their own behaviors. In care Centres there is positive care giving and attitude and more physical contact with child since caretakers are trained on how to care for children with special needs. Children with special needs in care Centre are able to learn creativity in art in thinking, in problem solving and in socializing unlike those taken care of at home. Parents are the best care provider for their children at early age, children grown in care Centre are said to have a better understanding of language, better writing and reading skills. The children are more dependent on themselves since they are taught to do things on their own while young. Nevertheless children from child care Centre are said to lack self-confidence and self-esteem, most of them feel neglected.

Since as discussed above we have seen children grown by their parents at early age has better outcome than those from child care Centre, parents should take care of their children at early age. They should guide them and preserve more time for their children. Also children from care Centres should be cared for so as to boost their confidence and self-esteem. Even when children attend child care Centre the interaction with parent is most important.
