As with most things in life, adult development is a culmination of a plethora of things; one's childhood is just one of those factors. I feel that the impact of one's childhood on an individual's adult development depends heavily on the individual's biological predispositions. For example, from a psychological standpoint, typically children that are abused as children do NOT grow up to be abusers. Does this apply for ALL abused children? Well, of course not, there are always exceptions and it basically is dependent upon the individual. However, I would be remised if I did not acknowledge that morals, manners, etc. that are taught to a child during their childhood normally follow an individual into their adult life. In other words, a child that is taught to love and respect themselves and others normally develops into confident, respectful adults.
Summer East (this is my account) How a child is raised can greatly affect them as an adult, but it really depends on each individual person and how they react to situations. Like we discussed in class, there are people who have a family history of abuse and it continues with each generation. But in some cases, children that have been abused will change that about how they raise their kids. In my experience, the things a child likes about their childhood they tend to take with them, and the things they don't like, or disagree with, they tend to change.
The way a child is raised most definitely affects their adulthood. For example; if a child has to work hard to attain their parents attention and seldom acquires what they desire, then that child will either grow up and once they have had children of their own will let the kids get whatever they want and run the house, OR that child will grow up and use the same work oriented attitude as its own parents had. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing which direction the child will choose, therefore you just have to hope that they will make the proper decision.
Childhood has a tremendous affect on your adulthood. For instance, if u have been abused or abandon as a child; it can result in either a continuous generation curse or it open a person eyes to never repeat those actions to the ones they love such as their children and friends. To sum it up, your childhood can only affect you in the way you decide to let it. good or bad way u choose...
LaRonV says Your childhood is basically your foundation. If your childhood(foundation) is shaky then you will have a shaky adulthood. During childhood you learn a lot and you develop a lot through these stages. So most likely the stages of your childhood will rear its head again in its adult life. Rather it be in a positive way or a negative way. Your childhood is the building block of life and if you dont build it properlu then it weill crumble.
One's childhood affects the formation of their adult development in several ways. In some cases, a child may constantly observe a certain behavior and pick it up. This can be good or bad. For example, if a child's parents are extremely lazy and laid back, perhaps the child will behave the same way. On the other hand, if a child's parents are extremely hard working and encouraging to the child, perhaps he or she will also work hard and become successful in life.
In other cases, a child may observe a constant behavior that he or she may abhor. For, example, a child might have a parent who drinks heavily and behaves obnoxiously. This child probably wouldn't want to end up like the parent, and thus avoids drinking. Furthermore, if you witness something frightening as a child, it may traumatize you or cause you to avoid anything in the future that is related to that fear. So as you can see, childhood experiences play a key role in becoming the adult that you will be.
I believe that childhood effects the formation of adult development, because we learn by example of how people want us to act. What we see and what we are taught are going to be instilled in our very personalities. Say a child is beaten everytime she speaks without permission, she is going to learn to be a very quit adult who will not speak unless spoken to. It's the ultimate example of Pavlov's experiment.
Ditto. The things you learn and experience through childhood, later on, become a crutch for ones future whether it's a positive experience or not. So if one experiences things over and over again, it eventually becomes the norm for that person, and is taken into the adult term of their life.
Your childhood definitely effects your adulthood. I know people who have been emotional, physical, and sexually abused. Two out of the four people continued on to emotionally and physically their children. The other two decided to rise above the abuse and to this day have never laid a hand on their children.
It's what you do with the experiences you have as child that truly matters, though. You ultimately have the ability to overcome anything in your childhood or summit to it. It is the foundation for what a child thinks is right or wrong, moral or immoral.
Going from childhood to adulthood is a long and eventful process. Those who have the primary effect on your personality are usually the ones who raise you. The things they teach you and do to you physically will transform you into somebody. For example, if your parents raise you to be racist, then you may become a racist adult. Or, if your parents don't teach you proper ediquitte, you may grow up to be, well, an adult without manners.
On the other hand, you may alter your parents expectations, realizing that you want to be somebody of your own taste. For example, if you are forced to attend a strict catholic school, you may feel the urge to rebel. Or, if your parents are racist, you may realize that that's bullcrap and being judgemental is very wrong.
It all depends on which way the child takes it. That's why the world is full of different people.
Alot of how a person behaves depends on how they lived their childhood. Many adults try to encourage parents to keep their kids on track, make sure they eat healthy and make sure that they get a good education because it is known that kids carry on those same behaviors with them when they reach adulthood.
Adult personalities are greatly influenced by the way they were raised as children. The way friends, family, and teachers interact with a child directly affects the type of person they will become. Some adults use their childhood experiences and interactions as lessons from other people's mistakes, and some look at them as a guideline for the rest of their lives. It all depends how they were treated. For example, abused children are mostly raised in hostile and violent enviroments which eminently reflects in their adult personalities. These children either learn from the mistakes of their elders and wov to never make the same faults, or they become carbon copies of the people who raised them. It can go either way depending on the invidual's unique experiences.
The things people go through in life i believe do affect there formation of adult development. When people go through times of strugle they can either try to be the best they can be or they will use the things they went through in life as an excuse to continue what they lack on. Basically no matter what type of life someone lives (good nor bad) everyone goes through certain events in life to become whatever type of person they are as an adult.
One's childhood affect the formation of their adult development because what happens to you as a child you never forget. If bad things happen to you that often causes you to act a certain way based on whether or not you liked what was happenning.
Childhood is a major factor in a person's life. The way a person is raised is shown in the future in their adulthood. Whatever a person is taught as a child will stick with them to the day that they die because it was instilled into their head as a child. You'll never forget how to tie your shoes, say your alphabet or speak your basic language because those things were taught to you as a child.
The problems a person undergoes as a child has a major effect on them because it shapes their attitude, preference and view of life in the future. Everyone goes through issues in life, but it's ultimately up to that person to change the cycle and be the person they want to be.
I believe that your childhood can effect your adulthood cause it influences how you view the world around you. It also influences how you will treat your children. If you were badly treated, you will think that it's okay to treat your children the same way because that was the way that you were treated. That also goes for your world view.
What do you mean?
