Abstract
This paper emphasizes the need for parents to communicate with their children on sexual matters, particularly in low-income areas where the risk of early pregnancy and STDs is high. The author gives an overview of a study, which demonstrates that African-American families in low-income areas have difficulty discussing sexuality and that when sexuality is discussed, it can reduce sexual experimentation. The author also discusses a study which indicates that the information the mass media provides to parents often skirts issues such as homosexuality, condom use, and AIDS, issues which are particularly important in low income areas. The author concludes by suggesting that parents in low income areas would benefit if the media provided more culturally-sensitive and specific information on how to communicate with children on sexuality.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the subject of a child's conception of abstract entities, especially that of God is an area of interest for psychologists. The writer points out that there have been many studies done pertaining to the overall conception of God through the eyes of a child however; the main focus of the current paper is how a child's conception of God is affected by a child's relationship with a primary or secondary caregiver. The writer looks at two experiments that show how a child's image of the parents impacted the child's image of God. The writer maintains that both experiments reviewed show a strong correlation between how a child views his or her parents and how the child conceives of God.

From the Paper
"The pervading affect religion has on the world is clear and without question however, psychologists seek to explain much more narrowed topics. One topic of special interest is how people conceive of God. Perhaps as important as any other developmental stage of deity conception is that of childhood. A child's conception of God is without the same degree of the societal affects as that of an adult, without the baggage that accumulates over a lifetime. Research has been done studying how a child conceives of God, whether a child is bound to think of God as a large bearded man who reigns from the sky overseeing humanity, or whether children conceive of God differently. Surprisingly, most evidence seems to say that children are better equipped to not anthropomorphize God than adults . Children can think of God as a non-human agent, possessing characteristics, such as immortality, that people lack. If children are capable of conceiving of God in non-anthropomorphic ways, then one question is what, if any, relation does God have to actual humans in the child's life, and primarily the relation to those attachment figures who serve such a big role early on."

"Caltabiano and Thorpe relate that in order to understand these attachment models from the adult relationship perspective research has relied on interviews or self-reporting methods to learn in this area. The 'Adult Attachment Interview' was reported in the work of George, Kaplan & Main (1984) in research that conducted an in-depth exploration into the nature of the adult individual's childhood relationships to their caregiver. Another method utilized in this are of study is the self-report instrument known as the 'Attachment Style Questionnaire' (ASQ) as noted in the work of Feeney, Noller & Harahan (1994)."

Lawrence Kutner?s ?Parent and Child ?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper explains that Lawrence Kutner in his book ?Parent and Child ?, believes that parents are capable of learning how to cope with their children and that there is no such thing as a perfect parent. The paper relates that, throughout the book, Kutner emphasizes ways in which the perceptions of children may be different from those of adults, which parents have to understand if they are to understand their children. The author points out Kutner?s belief that parents need to evaluate childcare not only to avoid problems but also to find a nurturing environment where their children will learn and develop.
From the Paper
"Parents often ask about issues of discipline, which Kutner points out as one of the major reasons for strains in communication between parent and child, leading to worse behavior rather than better. This is an age-old problem, and Kutner offers advice on how to handle a bad situation, beginning with taking some time out to think things over and do a better job once a decision is made. Certain specific discipline problems are also discussed, such as a child throwing temper tantrums or the need to discipline other people's children. Kutner gives even more attention to specific behavior problems seen in children, such as lying, stealing, fighting, and similar actions."

Abstract
This paper explains the importance of parents in the process of child development. It examines the studies that indicate that poor parental guidance and attitudes within the family can have a devastating effect on the child's development in all areas, including cognitive, social adaptation and general mental and physical health. It further points out that many reports indicate a decline in contemporary society of parental guidance as well as in the traditional family structure. The paper concludes that this has lead to a further realization of the importance of the cooperation of parents, teachers, schools and other institutions in the development and education of the child.
From the Paper
"However, there is a related point of view which states that while the above statement may be theoretically true there are many areas and ways in which this is not quite the golden age for children. These include aspects that detract from positive child development such as limited resources, financial aspects, lack of parental involvement and the evident dissolution of the nuclear family with high rates of divorce and marital problems that might impact negatively on the child. Some experts even go so far as to state that in reality this is also the worst of times in some respects for children."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the reasons for non-parental child care in today's day and age due to demographic changes in the structure of the family and the need for mother's to work. It examines the results of several surveys on the direct effect of this type of care on child development and outlines the options which are available to families who are concerned for their child's early development, but are also in need of two incomes.
From the Paper
"Historical changes in family and economic trends have created the need for non-parental child care through a number of different societal changes. The move of families from the farms to urban settings and increased school attendance for children resulted in a reduced need for the mother to remain at home. Over time more women have been joining the work force, which has lead to an increase of financially independent women as well as less financial interdependence between wives and husbands. Society has also witnessed increased levels of divorce and children born out of wedlock. These changes in social trends have resulted in the majority of children living in one parent families or dual-earner families, which has consequently created an increased number of children requiring non-parental care for a large portion of each working day (Hernandez, 1995.)"

"For single parents, childcare costs can pose a significant barrier to entering the workforce. In many cases, single parents to have a hard time finding affordable, safe care in close proximity to their homes or work that meet their scheduling requirements.
Even if single parents are able to find a childcare program that is affordable and meets their individual needs, there are faced with another problem?the quality of childcare. Many affordable childcare solutions have unsafe environments, including unsanitary conditions and a lack of supervision."

From the Paper
" Parents' cultural belief systems have definite consequences for children's development. Parents are the main agents of socialization for their children during the period of their lives when they are most susceptible to influence. Because culture is a pervasive aspect of parental personality, cultural belief systems play a major role in the socialization process.
Culture is the shared meanings that people in a society give to important life events. These events include birth, death, commerce, mating, protection from hunger and bad weather, etc. Thus every aspect of human life and behavior is influenced by culture: "In a sense, to understand culture is to understand learned behavior" (Slonim, 1991, p. 5). Moreover, specific cultural value systems are transmitted from one generation to another. "

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Family Research Council claims to have statistical values by those with a Ph.D. However the data collected seems faulty and slanted towards the results they want. For example, a particular article claiming that homosexual behavior is linked directly to child sexual abuse, the numbers shown are directly correlated to only those who committed the offenses. There is absolutely no data of the number of same-sex couples who have children within their house and no abuse is reported. Granted there is absolutely no way to positively tell that abuse is taking place. But to assume that because a certain percentage of pedophiles are homosexuals, it's impossible to conclude as a scientific fact that all homosexuals are pedophiles."

Abstract
This paper discusses the cycle of continuing silence about issues related to women's sexuality. The paper explains that the silence can affect the health of women in situations where speaking up could prevent the contraction of a disease. The paper examines the role played by the media and society in general concerning the perception of women's sexuality. The paper makes mention of the views of the church and religion on this topic.
From the Paper
"From the first signs of gender, the conditioning begins from the ones we love most. From the cradle, girls wear pink, boys blue and both are taught what is and how to play her and his role. Family is defined according to each individual's unique situation. Beginning in this context, a person's sexual identity has either the opportunity to begin its creation and discovery healthfully, or at high risk of developing problems. Generally, a time comes for the talk about "the birds and the bees". Usually most young people await this important discussion with the utmost dread and trepidation. Too often this fear is due to the shame and embarrassment that can monopolize the conversation. "

From the Paper
"Research shows that male victims are less likely to report the abuse, more likely to blame themselves for the abuse, and more likely to act out aggressively in response to it (Overstolz, 2001). Like female victims, male victims feel guilt and self-blame, low self-esteem and self-image, problems with intimacy, sexual dysfunction, substance abuse and depression and symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome. Many male victims try hard to "prove" their masculinity by having multiple female sex partners; sexually, physically or verbally victimizing others; or displaying dangerous or violent behaviors. They may have negative feelings about their own sexuality, confusion over gender and sexual identity, and may experience feelings of inadequacy. They may also have a sense of lost power, control and confidence in their manhood."

Abstract
This paper examines to what extent parents who suffer from depression pass this illness onto their children. To put it another way, the paper discusses whether parents that are suffering from depression are ultimately responsible - in a way other environmental factors are not - for the development of depression in their children. The paper concludes that while depression in children cannot be wholly linked to depression in their mothers and fathers it would seem that the confluence of genetic predisposition, parental neglect, and parental actions of the most negative sort (angry outburst, recriminatory behavior) conspire to make these children especially vulnerable to one of the cruelest of all mental illnesses.

"A much more recent study confirms the general conclusions of Orvaschel insofar as it illuminates the troubling psychic burdens shouldered by the sons and daughters of clinically depressed parents. To wit, Alpert et al (2003) found that depressed parents suffering from "anger attacks" also tended to produce offspring given over to lower social and school competency scale scores and to higher levels of delinquency, aggressive behavior and attention problems. Additionally, Alpert and his team of researchers found that the children of depressed parents engaging in intermittent angry outbursts were more likely to have an elevated T score - a "global measure" of psychopathology.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts two articles that deal with child development after the death of a parent, emphasizing research methods and usefulness.
From the Paper
"The death of a parent is a very traumatic experience for anyone, but when it occurs in childhood, the effects may be monumental. The world of the child is completely changed and this may take its toll emotionally, physically and psychologically. However, every child is different, thus reactions may vary depending on age, sex and characteristics of the surviving parent. The surviving parent may be very confused on how to best handle the situation. When looking for information, both scholarly journals and more simple web pages can be helpful."

From the Paper
"Probably the most compelling reason child sexual predators are so dangerous is the number of children they victimize. According to Anna Salter Ph.D. (2003), the average child molester victimizes between 50 and 150 children before he is arrested. Furthermore, based on data from a study of 232 child sexual offenders where victims were fourteen years of age and younger, concluded that the average number per offender was 75.8 (Salter Ph.D., 2003). However, according to a 1994 National Institute of Health Survey of 453 pedophiles conducted by Dr. Gene Abel, showed these criminals were collectively responsible for the molestation of over 67,000 children, and average of 148 children per individual pedophile (Bader, 2003). Despite which study is the most accurate, the lowest numbers are incredible amounts of victimized children. "
