Define the parent children relationship

Parent-Child Relationships d
Of the many different relationships we form over the course of the life span, the relationship between parent and
child is among the most important. Not surprisingly, students of child development have devoted considerable
attention to the parent-child relationship, in order to understand how it develops and functions over the lifespan.
Among the many questions researchers examine are those concerning normative changes in the parent-child
relationship over the course of development (e.g., How does the parent-child relationship change during
adolescence?), the impact of variations in the parent-child relationship on the child's behavior and functioning (e.g.,
Which types of discipline are most effective during the preschool years?), and the effects of the parent-child
relationship on the parent (e.g., How are adults affected by parenthood?).

A baby cries, a parent feeds her; a baby snuggles, a parent hugs her. Day after day, night after night, mothers and
fathers feed, burp, wash, change, dress, and hold their babies. Out of these interactions, feelings and expectations
grow. The baby feels distressed and hungry, then satisfied; the parent feels tenderness, joy, annoyance, exhaustion,
pleasure. Gradually, the baby begins to expect that her parent will care for her when she cries. Gradually, parents
respond to and even anticipate their baby's needs. These elements form the basis for a developing relationship, a
combination of behaviors, interactions, feelings, and expectations that are unique to a particular parent and a
particular child.

By the end of the first year, most infants who are cared for in families develop an attachment relationship, usually
with the primary caretaker. This relationship is central to the child's development.

Part of a larger, longitudinal study conducted from 1974 through 1979 investigating differences in the
mother-child relationship among Japanese, Thais, and Filipinos, this paper reports findings on the
Filipino sub-sample. Findings concern the socioemotional behavior of Filipino children, expectations of
their mothers, extent of children's independence in basic routine activities, and their resistance to
interference, enforcement, and scolding. A total of 144 mother/child pairs differing along urban/rural
and social class dimensions participated in the study. Age of participating children ranged between 2
years, 3 months, and 3 years, 2 months. Findings indicated that the children expressed the emotions
of frustration, anger, and fear. Discussion describes children's behavior when frustrated, angry and
afraid, their social behavior, their independence, and their resistance to their mother's behavior. Class,
urban/rural, age, and sex differences are discussed within the context of Filipino culture and society.
Recommendations for programmatic intervention and further research are offered. (RH)

A small revolution has begun in child custody law, and as yet its dimensions and
ultimate direction are uncertain. Joint custody, 1 the sharing of legal authority by
divorced or separated parents over their children, is gaining acceptance as the best
arrangement for most children when their parents divorce. 2 The legal system is
embracing this arrangement with remarkable enthusiasm, 3 although until recently it
was viewed as being of questionable legality and antithetical to the best interest of the
child. 4 Today, thirty states have joint custody laws, most of which have been enacted
since 1980. 5 A growing number of the more recent statutes present joint custody not
only as an acceptable option that cooperative parents may choose, 6 but as the
preferred arrangement, which should be encouraged or even required by the
law. 7 Although even joint custody advocates once rejected the viability of court-
ordered joint custody against the will of either parent, 8 this option is available under
most of the new laws. 9

The implications of this trend are disturbing. The principal goal of custody law is to
further the best interest of the child. Joint custody legislation purports to realize this
goal by encouraging both parents to remain actively involved in their child's life. Two
important assumptions are implicit in the recent trend: first, that parents will be able to
cooperate in raising their child, regardless of whether or not they freely decided upon
joint custody, 10 and second, that the ...

Children of the poor are severely disadvantaged in terms of health nutrition, emotional growth,
and educational opportunities. At an early age, children are forced to help earn for the family and
are thus exposed to objectionable and sometimes illegal and immoral influences. Many young
girls marry early to escape or work as domestics waitresses or entertainers in bars and
restaurants. Another questionable influence especially among adolescent boy is the barkada, a
gang relationship where they indulge in, drinking, burglary, holdups, picking and extortion.
Although there are no reliable statistics at the moment, drug addiction among the low income
teenagers exists as shown by newspaper reports on crimes committed by low-income youth
"high" on drugs who support their dependency on the money obtained from the muggings,
burglaries and thievery.

Most wives join the labor force because of economic pressure. However, among the middle and
upper classes, married women continue to work even when the family's financial needs do not
demand it. Philippine society approves of women working outside the home although it does not
encourage it.

Unemployment and underemployment are two factors that have affected family income and have
resulted in changes in the traditional structure of the family. To solve this problem, some
Filipinos have taken jobs overseas. Overseas employment grew from 14, 366 workers in 1972 to
53,894 in 1982 and to approximately 617 000 in 1984. Of this number, 24 68 percent are
women. About one half of overseas workers go to the Middle East. Most are men but women
accounted for most of the domestic type of services.

Since married workers comprise 73 percent of the total and they leave their families behind the
remaining parent is left to bring up the family resulting in temporary single parentage. Often, the
emotional strain, loneliness, and anxiety have become major problems for both the husband and
the wife. While the migrant husband's great worry is jealousy caused by rumor and gossip from
coworkers and relatives at home "the wife has interference and meddling from her in-laws in
addition to the problem of rearing and disciplining the children. The resultant increase in income
(dollar remittances) has led to value disorientation. The household standard of living rises
appreciably and there is a tendency to extravagance and the purchase of consumer goods rather
than investments which earn income.

The traditional concept of a well-knit family where members forego job opportunities elsewhere
to remain with their families has undergone changes especially in the last decade. Nowadays,
many young people seek employment overseas for a better income irrespective of the social
status of the job. College graduates, school teachers, white collar workers accept assignments as
domestic helpers in Hong Kong, Australia, Madrid, Singapore, Great Britain, and elsewhere. Yet
in spite of these separations, the family closeness, interrelationships, and interdependency
remain strong. Overseas workers remit their earnings to the family in the hope that it will
improve the family social and economic status. Social scientists are studying this new pattern of
behavior, but it is still too early to get a definite picture of the effect of overseas employment on
family relationships.

The support of the Parent Children Relationship

 It has been demonstrated that both children's and parents' social
characteristics are crucial to an understanding of intergenerational relations.
Three social characteristics play a particularly important role in determining
the quality of parent-child relations in later life: age, gender, and race.

what intervention should be done to improve the parent children

Intervention to improve the parent children relationship

Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) is a developmental program that parents use for
helping children with Autism and Autism Spectrum disorders to function better in daily life. 
Parents use RDI to not only improve the daily functioning of their children, but also to improve
the overall quality of life for the children and entire family (Gutstein,  2007).  Originally
developed by Dr. Steven Gutstein, RDI is a method of improving social and communication
skills that is well researched and documented as beneficial.  RDI uses the daily experiences of
children and their parents to target core problem areas of Autism.  Some problems of Autism
that RDI targets are:
