Abstract
Individuals grieve in their own way and in their own time. In examining the journey loss and the grieving of that loss in one family, this paper applies the theory to a real life situation of the death of an aged parent and the implications for adult children, themselves past middle age and experiencing their own aging journey. Their experiences are related to theoretical and personal understandings of loss and grief.
From the Paper
"There is a range of reasons given for why the community struggles towards a psychology of loss. There is a lack of overall integration in the area of loss research - the authors cite evidence in this field of material that is disjointed, disorganized and descriptive. This is further supported what has been described as "a plethora of "self help" books which deal with grief. The latter these authors maintain, further diminishes the importance of loss as a scientific area of study (Miller & Omarzu, 1998). These authors maintain that because there is no clear psychology of loss there is an urgent need for what does exist to go into pre-existing or new theoretical models."

Abstract
This paper researches the issue of stress in children's lives, particularly the stress of divorcing parents vs. having a parent die. The hypothesis presented and supported by the references is that many children of divorced parents live much more stressful lives because divorce is a continuing process and the confusion over proper parental relationships can continue into adulthood, whereas the death of a parent, if handled properly, is a one-time loss that can be partially mended by the introduction of other trustworthy adults into the child's life.

Abstract
Discusses effect on children. Psychological turmoil and variables (age of child, death of one or both parents, circumstances of death, family structure). Examines concepts of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross on death & dying. Views of other experts. Special issues faced by adolescents. The grief process. Problems of recovery from loss.
From the Paper
"The death of a parent can be a wrenching experience for the children left to grieve, though the degree of psychological turmoil may depend on a number of factors such as the age of both parent and children, the circumstances of the death, the structure of the family, and so on.
One of the more influential works on the subject of death and dying is that of Elisabeth K?bler-Ross. Her thesis is that when people are forced to face death either in terms of coming to grips with the death of a loved one or even with their own imminent death they pass through certain stages in their thinking. These stages are repeated in every instance as part of the grieving process. They are identified by K?bler-Ross as denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. K?bler-Ross examines each of these in turn and ..."

Abstract
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate unresolved grief in children ages 7-11 years, an age range that corresponds to Piaget's concrete operational stage, due to the death of a parent(s) and if and or how it manifests into delinquent behavior. To this end, this dissertation employs a historical-comparative methodology to answer the guiding research questions. The dissertation is guided by the following specific research questions: 1.What is the incidence of juvenile delinquency among children who have experienced the loss or one or both parents during Piaget's concrete operational stage, ages 7-11 years? 2. What treatment interventions have been proven effective in helping children resolve the grief associated with the loss of one or both parents? 3. Are there cultural, gender and socioeconomic differences among children that affect their coping abilities? 4. What specific differences exist between adults and children in terms of coping skills and how can clinicians use this information to facilitate grief resolution?

From the Paper
"The study of "resilient" and "invulnerable" children has provided researchers with a new and different focus in the primary prevention of mental illness in adults. Resilient children are those who, because of stressful life events, are at risk of developing later psychological dysfunctions, but do not. As examples: every teenage parent does not quit school and live on welfare; most behaviorally disordered children do not become dysfunctional adults; not all high school dropouts fail to make a good living; and many adjudicated delinquents do not become adult offenders (Brown & Felner, 1991). Based on the wide range of stress-producing factors that may occur throughout childhood and even prior to birth (e.g., in utero cocaine addiction), it is understandable that past research would provide limited coverage. For example, Garmezy and Rutter volume ( 1989) provided an understanding of the neurochemical and physiological aspects of stress, a description of stress-producing factors that occur during infancy and early childhood, and an understanding of coping mechanisms associated with resiliency-all considered within the context of childhood development (Brown & Felner, 1991)."

Death and The Child, 2002.
Examines the effect the death of a parent or sibling have on a young child.

»

Abstract
The paper shows that the death of a parent or sibling can be a wrenching experience for the child left to grieve. Children do not understand the concept of death, and having to face death and its consequences at an early age can lead to considerable psychological turmoil, which in turn may depend on a number of factors such as the age of both parent and child, the closeness of the sibling, the circumstances of the death, the structure of the family and so on. The paper examines literature on the subject and explains different stages of bereavement, the effect of death on different age groups and possible therapy solutions.
From the Paper
"Harrington & Harrison (1999) note that many of the current assumptions about the impact of bereavement on children are unproven. Existing data does suggest that childhood bereavement is not a major risk factor for mental and behavioral disorder in either childhood or adult life, and some studies indicate that most children cope surprisingly well with this severe form of trauma. This means that in most cases, interventions by professionals will not be required, and in any case, we do not yet know whether these interventions are effective. However, some children and their families will require help. Children with mental or behavioral disorders may well benefit from interventions, and there may also be a case for intervening with some children who are at high risk of psychological disorder but who are currently healthy."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the death of a parent can be a wrenching experience for the children left to grieve, though the degree of psychological turmoil may depend on a number of factors such as the age of both parent and children, the circumstances of the death, the structure of the family and so on. It examines how the type of death involved can make a difference in terms of how long it takes the survivors to come to terms with that loss. It shows how the response of adolescents to the death of a parent involves a complex interaction of feelings, thoughts and behaviors and how research shows that social support is one of the most crucial requirements for helping individuals come to grips with the grief process. It also looks at how the death of a spouse results in grief, depression, tension, anxiety, confusion and a severe sense of loss. It discusses how most of the feelings experienced by death do decrease over time with varying courses of treatment by the end of a bereavement period.
From the Paper
"Before any person can begin to recover from the grief associated with a sudden and serious loss, he or she must acknowledge that a problem exists. Most people, after someone really close to them dies, believe that no one understands the pain they are experiencing. In a recent book written by one of the co-founders of the Grief Recovery Institute, the author mentions that the length and intensity of the relationship with the deceased determines the amount of pain the survivor will suffer (James, 1986, 18). That book recommends that people experiencing grief find "a fellow griever so you can learn and recover together" (James, 1986, 19). The author says that many people are able to grieve with fellow family members who are experiencing the same loss. That book suggests that people recover quicker and more fully when they are able to be around other individuals who are also suffering traumatic losses. Some sort of human support is important during a survivor's period of grief."

?Seven Habits? and Leadership at Sea, 2004.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Steven Covey's book, "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", from the point of view of a military naval sailor facing the death of his father. It shows how the author, from personal experience, applied Covey's seven principles to his own daily life, both in civilian life and on the ship, and came to recognize leadership qualities in several of those around him and in himself.
From the Paper
"The fact that Covey?s analysis of leadership meets both civilian and service needs was underlined by several core, formative experiences I have since had at sea, in examining my immediate leaders through Covey?s sevenfold eyes. Once, I was particularly struck by the leadership behavior of a Captain who always gave public and private recognition for the quality of the labor of others, and complimented the diligence of his subordinates. He never saw losses, his thinking was always ?win-win,? stressing the positives learned, even when the individual made an accidental error. (9) He was never afraid that making compliments for a job performed correctly and excellently would make him seem weak, according to Covey?s ?paradigm? of ?interdependent? leadership. (10)"

Abstract
The phenomena of parents? involvement at their children?s schools has intensified over the recent years, and it seems that the tendency will increase in the future. The school principal, because of his role, training, and status, has to lead, determine, and guide the parental cooperation to the proper channels. His role is decisive regarding the quality of the dialogue with the parents. This research examines the connection between the principal?s managerial style and personality and his stands and policies regarding parental involvement, in general, and the desirable and actual parental involvement at his school. The research assumption is that principals who employ different managerial styles and possess different personality structures will relate differently to parental involvement. The principal who practices a considerate managerial style or has an extroverted personality will encourage parental involvement, while the task-oriented principal with a ?neurotic? or ?psychotic? personality structure will oppose parental involvement. In addition, the writer determines that the principal?s general attitude towards parental involvement will be more positive than his stand regarding the desired parental involvement in specific areas and the actual parental involvement at his school. The more positive the principal?s stand towards parental involvement in specific areas, the more involved are the parents. This paper also includes several tables.

From the Paper
"The phenomena of parental involvement in the Israeli educational system has intensified over the recent years, as is indicated by the daily newspapers, educational and social researches, and by the attempts of the educational institutions to guide the parental involvement into normative channels. One of the factors of the process consists of the meaningful changes in the educational system, the most notable of which is the tendency towards the school?s increasing autonomy. (Kamanda, 1985) The educational system was unable to successfully address the variety of educational needs in an increasingly pluralistic society, whose different sectors disagree about the purposes of education. The recognition of the disagreements led to the demand for the decentralization of the educational system. (Inbar, 1987) As the educational system became more decentralized the roles of the functionaries and their authorities had to be redefined, and increased parental involvement became possible."

Children and Parental Loss, 2007.
An examination of the impact on children of losing a parent due to divorce or death.

Abstract
This paper examines the problems children face upon the loss of a parent due to divorce or death. The paper provides a literature review which includes long-term studies on the effects of divorce on children. The paper further explains that these effects may include school problems, or more serious issues such as dropping out, drug use and crime. The author cites research that supports the view that the trauma of divorce for children is in some ways more complex and has wider developmental and psychological ramifications than the experience of death. Both death and divorce are extreme experiences in a child's life and both can have a wide range of native psychological and developmental repercussions.
From the Paper
"The possible long-term impact of divorce can be seen in recent figures which show that children from broken homes are often more prone to drug addiction and the dependency on chemicals. A study by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta states that, "... 75% of children/adolescents in chemical dependency hospitals are from single-parent families." (A Generation At Risk) The reason for chemical dependency among children from divorced homes can also be linked to the development of behavioral problems that can result for the effect of the loss of a parent. As a finding for the National Center for Health Statistics states: "1 out of 5 children have a learning, emotional, or behavioral problem due to the family system changing." (A Generation At Risk) "

One-Parent Families, 2005.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the dynamics of single-parent families and attempts to explain the differences between the different types of single-parent families. The paper also describes some of the factors that contribute to successful single parenting.
From the Paper
"A two parent family will always be considered the perfect family as it allows for a male and female role model. However, life is not always perfect and a changing society is creating new family dynamics within the community. From a two parent family structure the scene is changing to a single parent family created through divorce, lack of marriage and in some circumstances choice. Yet, psychologists remain firm on the fact that it is the two parent family that is the most successful. Still, since the family structure is changing and we have to deal with single parent families we must aim to understand the different dynamics of the single parent families."

Good Parenting, 2005.
This paper discusses that, although there are numerous resources available, being a parent can be an overwhelming experience, most often leaving parents wondering if their parenting skills are good enough.

Abstract
This paper explains that some experts believe that today's parents are stifling their children with constant worrying and supervision and are denying children learning opportunities for risk-assessment and challenge needed to develop self-confidence. The author points out that confidence is the key to child-rearing. The paper relates that parents are often quick to judge a child's actions or choice of words and neglect to see that at times they are actually cries for love, attention or help; therefore, it is important to acknowledge a child's feelings and opinions and try to understand a situation from their point of view.
From the Paper
"A good parent is constantly worrying about their children because there seems to be infinite dangers lurking everywhere. Should a parent vaccinate or not vaccinate, should one parent be a stay-at-home parent or should both parents work outside the home? There is such a myriad of advice available and much of it conflicting over everything from potty training and playing, reading and sleeping, to socializing and eating, it is difficult and frustrating to know whom to believe and trust. Then there are the everyday hazards, such as pedophiles, child kidnappers, rapists, poisonous plastics, choking hazards, sudden death syndrome, chemical contamination of food, and child equipment recalls. It is enough to make any parent paranoid, guilt wracked, angst-ridden, and lose many nights of sleep due to a fear-filled mind."
