Early Child Development Programs
The topic for my hypertext essay will focus on the impact of child development programs on not just the child, but also the family unit itself. I will look at the difficulties faced by these families who submit to the advice of "experts" and study the impact of a family whose child does not become the prodigy that was expected. I will also analyze the various socio-economic classes that are most likely to participate in these programs, and find out which demographics are most likely to specialize their children in such categories as academics, the arts, sports, and even beauty pageants.
When writing the essay, I plan on taking a kind of chronological route in the overall organization. I will begin with pregnancy, and describe some of the expert advice sought by the parents to ensure a safe and mentally stimulated fetus. I will mention how the diet of a pregnant woman is as trendy as the clothing style of a teenage girl and each supposed expert has his or her own take on how to ensure a successful pregnancy.
Following the pregnancy, I will look at the various tools employed by new parents to create an atmosphere of intelligence for their child. I will mention the various toys that can be purchased for a costly price, and I will mention the classical music videos that have become a staple of early child development. As the child gets older, I will look at the kind of specialization that parents use to ensure their child is set apart and above its peers. I will analyze specific means of development such as summer business camps and traveling sports teams. I will look at the increased level of stress put upon the child both by the programs as well as their parents. The development of the child is still at this point largely up to the discretion of the parent.
Finally, the last part of the essay will describe the longterm effectiveness of these programs. Effectiveness will be categorized both in terms of the child's social skills and overall happiness, as well as his success in his particular area of specialization. With the information given, it will hopefully be clear as to whether or not this kind of super charged child rearing is truly effective to the successful development of the child.
The main point of this essay will be to bring to light the various methods of child development used by parents, and understand the growing desire of many to outdo each other in an increasingly competitive world. Hopefully this essay will answer the question of whether or not this kind of mentality is beneficial to the average child. The motives of the average parent will be critiqued and the question of what the child's best interests are will be answered.
