Poor Parenting Techniques Displayed in Maurice Sendaks Where The Wild

abject Parenting empennage cause badly behaved childrenWhere The Wild Things Are was first published in 1963 and is the first part of a trilogy of award - winning books by American author and illustrator Maurice Sendak. Where The Wild Things Are is haunting and imaginative and describes how a young child, called Max, creates a fictitious fantasy world in order to deal with the wonderful reality of anger.Poor parenting is a lack of parenting techniques and skills in relation to the responsibilities and obligations, which need to be fulfilled in order to accomplish prominent problems within the family relationship. Poor parenting is most likely to come from an absence of cooperation from both child and parent, satisfying both needs and wants so that they both reach common ground. Depending on the epoch of the child, a lack of parenting techniques and skills affects a child differently psychologically, mentally, physically, socially and emotionally. However, it is manipulated by t he events happening outside the home environment, which can include a divorce or war. The role of the parent in a childs life is very influential and possible outcomes of inadequate parenting techniques and skills can result in the child becoming lamentablely behaved. This is represented in the childrens picture book, Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. While Max battles for authority, his mother demonstrates many parenting techniques, which have led to severe consequences in relation to his sorry behaviour. Bad behaviour influences a childs long-term growth as a human being and stunts their journey from child to mature adult. Children develop a backbone of acceptable behaviour based on the methods employed by their parents. Negative behaviour comes as a result of the child feeling insecure, becoming aggressive, angry, antisocial, demanding, dependant, undisciplined and also developing a hateful desire to get back at the world. These bad behavioural aspects are outcome s reached as the parent has reacted to become over-controlling with orders, reminders of poor behaviour and warnings. With the parent being the unquestioned boss, it is common for the child with an authoritarian in the household to feel irritable, and get angry and temperamental quite quickly. As a result of being given orders and constant reminders on their behaviour it is no wonder why some children experience... ... expected then, that a lack of cooperation can cause problems. If a parent does not fulfil the obligations and legal responsibilities then it would be clear that poor parenting does cause poorly behaved children.BIBLIOGRAPHYAustralian Family Law bear (1999), 2nd Edition, CCH, Australia.Carter, G.B.
