¶ … deduce the effects of parenting on the process of coping for a child, as parents take divorces or get separated. The data sample includes children aged between 9 to 12 years. These effects are being reviewed by studying the changes induced by intervention in a mother-child relationship quality and discipline (Ve'lez, Wolchik, Tein, & Sandler, 2011).
The article explains that children are more prone to the risk of getting mental health problems if they suffer from psychosocial stressors. In the presence of these stressors, such mental health problems can be avoided if the coping efforts are more active and engaging. Coping efficacy or the belief in one's self of being able to positively negotiate with the effects of emotional traumas and situations also plays a positive part in keeping at bay the development of mental health problems. It is mentioned that several factors can aid in developing an effective coping process in a child, which can be the increasing influence of parents on their children by means of interaction and coaching. This study focuses on the linkage of the mother-child relationship quality and discipline, with the active and avoidant coping efforts.
Since the mother-child relationship provides the child with more security, guidance and comfort, a positive relationship of a child with the mother can aid in achieving an active coping effort and develop coping efficacy....
The consistent and effective discipline makes children adaptive to the surrounding environment by creating in them a sense of evaluation and recognition, enhancing their chances of attaining coping efficacy.
Through understanding the results of various past studies on related topics, this study used a longitudinal design research method to deduce whether changes based on intervention in the quality and effective discipline of the relationship of mother and child resulted in active or avoidant coping efforts in both a short-term period of 6 months and a long-term period of 6 years.
The participants that were selected for the study included families in which a divorce had occurred not over two years ago, the child was in the custody of a single mother and the mother was not in a relationship with anyone during the experiment. Eventually, a sample size of 240 participants was selected based on interviews for the test. These participants were than divided into three conditional groups for the remaining period of the study; a mother only group, a mother plus child group, and a literature control group.
The mother-only and the mother plus child groups operated by means of a total of 11 sessions. Meetings with the mother included discussing the mother-child quality and effective discipline, father's access to the child and conflicts amongst parents. The sessions with the…

Child Development The first two years of life, known as infancy, is universally recognized as an extremely important stage of human development, and is therefore distinguished from the later stages. Infancy witnesses the rapid growth of the child's cognitive, psychosocial, and biosocial development, and the infant's increasing responsiveness to the environment and the people within that environment. Infants grow at a very rapid rate during the first one and a half years
Child Development "The quality of the relationship between parents and young children is one of the most powerful factors in a child's growth and development," (Brotherson, 2005, p. 1). Research unequivocally supports the notion that a young's child's social and emotional well-being is enhanced through the development of positive attachments, especially in the first three years of life. It is important to research and understand the issue of attachment in early
In order to provide an age appropriate program with activities that enhance the numerous stages of growth and development in children, the adult should have a good understanding of where the child is developmentally coming from, where the child is currently, and where he or she is heading to into the near future.

I hypothesizes that children at what Piaget would call a preoperational stage do in fact perform complex analysis of numbers and situations, but that they approach this analysis is a tentative and relative way which is open to influence and negation from outside sources. More succinctly: children at early stages do perform conservation but consider it relative to mitigating factors and prone to correction. The following few pages will follow an
The most fundamental theorist in this area is Jean Piaget. Additionally, Piaget demonstrated one of the first scientific movements in the filed, with the utilization of direct observation as the best tool for understanding. (Piaget, 1962, p. 107) Piaget also believes, and his theories reflect that children play a very active and dynamic role in development through interaction with their environment and active role imitation.

Child Development: Children proceed through various stages of literacy development as they move from reading readiness to fluency and high levels of comprehension. Parents and others can influence literacy development by offering opportunities for literacy experiences. Parents, teachers, siblings, and others can help support early literacy development through various ways including modeling fluency while reading, asking children questions after reading every book, reading aloud with the child on a daily basis,
