Можно ли детям пить квас – со скольких лет и какой именно?

На смену знойным летним дням приходит прохлада осени. Жаль прощаться с ярким летом и его сезонным напитком – квасом. Еще не все отказались от «производства» домашнего любимца, щедро дарившего свежесть и силы в летнюю жару. Но для родителей остался открытым вопрос: «Не напрасно ли в этом году так и не предложили своему ребенку попробовать квас, ведь напиток издавна славится своими полезными свойствами?»

Польза для детей

Квас обладает массой достоинств: насыщает, придает сил, снимает раздражительность, способствует красоте волос и кожи, отлично утоляет жажду. Состав напитка богат витаминами группы B (B1 и B2), PP, E, микроэлементами (фосфор, кальций, магний), молочной кислотой, белками и пищевыми волокнами. Приготовление основано на брожении, которое поддерживают молочнокислые бактерии и дрожжи. Все составляющие – важные участники обменных процессов в растущем организме и в детском возрасте приносят определенную пользу:

• укрепляют костную ткань и эмаль зубов;
• нормализуют работу кишечника;
• восполняют дефицит витаминов;
• повышают иммунитет;
• устраняют гнойничковые проявления на коже;
• угнетают рост вредных микробов;
• стабилизируют метаболические процессы.

В каком возрасте давать и сколько?

К этому традиционному русскому питью наши предки относились с глубоким уважением. В любую пору года квас был не только утоляющим жажду напитком, но и ежедневной пищей. При скудном питании и ежедневном тяжелом труде представлял собой полезный источник витаминов и энергии.

Но к детскому питанию он не имеет отношения. Из-за содержания алкоголя диетологи запрещают давать квас детям младшего возраста. Напиток позволено пить детям с 5 лет, а лучше – с 7-летнего возраста. Тогда как укоренившийся в сознании родителей минимальный возраст – 3 года – до сих пор вызывает неоднозначную реакцию специалистов.

Как и в случае с любой новой пищей, знакомство нельзя начинать с большого количества. При условии хорошей переносимости ребенком, ежедневный объем этого русского напитка можно увеличить с трети до половины стакана (приблизительно 100 мл). Детям старше 7 лет можно выпивать до 200 мл в течение дня.

Но какой квас можно без опаски давать своему непоседе – из бочки или бутылки, магазинный или приготовленный своими руками?

Секреты квасной бочки

Лет 15-20 назад бочка с квасом с нетерпеливой очередью к ней являла собой обязательный атрибут лета на городских улицах. Сегодня освежающий напиток не пользуется прежним спросом – появились в достатке бутилированные напитки, да и уровень санитарно-гигиенических знаний у населения заметно повысился.

Срок реализации бочкового кваса не превышает 48 часов. Но зачастую о недоброкачественном продукте можно узнать лишь через некоторое время после употребления. Беда в том, что в просроченном напитке стремительно размножаются болезнетворные бактерии, в числе прочих и кишечная палочка, вызывающая тяжелые поражения кишечника, понос и рвоту.

• Квас в бочке постоянно «играет», то есть с течением времени наращивает содержание алкоголя в своем составе.
• Много вопросов вызывает качество обработки бочек и целостность их покрытия изнутри, препятствующая коррозии металла.
• Актуально наличие у продавца санитарной книжки и сертификата на предлагаемую продукцию. Важно обратить внимание на пломбу крышки. Если таковой нет или она сорвана – в бочку могли долить воду сомнительного происхождения.
• «Живой» бочковой квас давно потеснили порошковые и брикетированные аналоги, не имеющие ничего общего с традиционным напитком.

Резюмируя все вышеперечисленное: «квас у дороги» – строгий запрет для детей и повод задуматься взрослым, прежде чем утолить с его помощью жажду.

Бутилированный напиток

Квас в бутылках лишен явных недостатков бочкового. И, казалось бы, промышленное производство гарантирует чистоту напитка. Но не все так просто.

Опасения вызывает информация на этикетках, рассекречивающая состав и длительность хранения. При этом даже наличие сусла, солода и экстракта кваса не гарантирует подлинности содержимого.

• Отсутствие следов брожения (мутного осадка на дне) свидетельствует, что продукт далек от натурального.
• Если этикетка пестрит ароматизаторами, стабилизаторами, квасными концентратами и заменителями сахара – в бутылке находится так называемый «квасной продукт». Искусственный – не может похвастать полезными свойствами натурального и представляет собой обычную газировку.
• Крупные, быстро исчезающие пузырьки в стакане говорят об искусственном происхождении напитка. Натуральный – отличается мелкими долгоиграющими пузырьками.
• Длительность хранения до 6 месяцев – явный признак наличия вредных консервантов либо пастеризации. В последнем варианте уничтожаются не только «плохие» бактерии, но и «хорошие» вместе с витаминами и другими ценными веществами.

Качественный бутилированный квас в запечатанном виде может храниться не более 7 суток и только в холодильнике. При открытии бутылки срок хранения сокращается до 3 суток. Если у вас получится найти такой напиток в продаже.

Полезен ли детский квас?

Совсем недавно на полках супермаркетов появился специальный детский квас. Пока его ассортимент ограничивается одним продуктом под маркой «Квасенок».

В состав входят только натуральные ингредиенты: ржаная мука и ржаной солод, вода, сахар, яблочный сок и ароматный букет растительных экстрактов.

Производится методом двойного брожения – дрожжевого и молочнокислого, что делает его наиболее приемлемым для пищеварительной системы растущего ребенка. В результате двойного брожения состав кваса обогащается витаминами и микроэлементами.

Но специалистов настораживает тот факт, что срок хранения «Квасенка» составляет все те же 6 месяцев, характерные и для других бутилированных марок.

Магазинный или домашний?

Можно ли детям пить квас из магазина? Его привлекательность омрачается сомнительным содержанием бутылок с красочными этикетками. Погоня за продуктом с длительным сроком хранения вынуждает производителей использовать консерванты и другую «химию», улучшающую вкус, цвет и запах продукта. Углекислота делает квас не традиционно игристым, а сильно газированным, уподобляя его вредным для детей лимонадам.

Домашний натуральный напиток готовят по рецептам, сохраняющим его полезные качества и вкусовые характеристики. В умелых руках и при участии небольшого числа ингредиентов он получается легким, ароматным, игристым. Именно квас собственного домашнего приготовления педиатры разрешают давать детям после 3 лет.

Вред в детском возрасте

Технология приготовления вкусного и полезного напитка основана на процессах брожения. Поэтому он может вызвать негативные реакции у маленького ребенка в силу незрелости ферментативной системы. Результатом несвоевременного знакомства с квасом часто становится вздутие живота за счет повышенного газообразования в кишечнике с выраженными болезненными ощущениями.

Опасность для здоровья ребенка представляет алкоголь в составе напитка. Его содержание обычно не превышает 1,2 %. Для взрослого человека этот показатель практически неощутим. Но старая поговорка «попей кваску – разгони тоску» подтверждает наблюдения любителей напитка – появление чувства легкого опьянения. Поэтому для малыша, не достигшего 3-летнего возраста, ни домашний, ни магазинный квас не принесут пользы.

Помните о противопоказаниях

К основным противопоказаниям относятся:

• возраст ребенка до 3-5 лет;
• гастрит с повышенной кислотностью;
• заболевания почек и мочекаменная болезнь;
• аллергия на дрожжи, злаковые;
• целиакия.

Готовим для ребёнка

Приготовление в домашних условиях дает простор для экспериментов с вкусовыми оттенками напитка. Натуральные добавки придадут ему неповторимую пикантность. Чаще всего используют мед, листья смородины, мяты, ревеня, ягоды клубники, яблоки, изюм. Насыщая квас новым ароматом, они обогащают напиток полезными веществами. Существуют и экзотические рецепты с добавлением имбиря, корицы, аниса и даже исландского мха.

Рецепты предков донесли до нашего времени изумительный вкус хлебного, фруктового, ягодного, молочного, окрошечного кваса. Но среди множества квасных рецептов популярным остается классический – из ржаного хлеба. Для детей его можно готовить без дрожжей, исключая процесс дрожжевого брожения. При этом доля спирта в готовом напитке составит всего лишь 0,5 %.

Основу бездрожжевого кваса составляет сусло – забродившие сухарики из ржаного хлеба в небольшом количестве воды с добавлением сахара. Кстати, ржаной бездрожжевой хлеб можно успешно заменить обычной ржаной мукой.

Польза такого освежающего напитка для детского организма сравнима с пользой продуктов молочнокислого брожения (простокваша, ряженка, кумыс, кефир и др.).

Рецепт бездрожжевого кваса

1. На 2,5 л охлажденной кипяченой воды возьмите 400 г ржаного бездрожжевого хлеба и по 100 г сахара и светлого изюма.
2. Из хлеба сделайте сухарики: нарежьте на небольшие кусочки, подсушите и подрумяньте в духовом шкафу.
3. В большую банку поместите сухарики, залейте водой, всыпьте туда же сахар и изюм.
4. Накройте банку марлей и оставьте в теплом месте на 3-5 дней для «созревания» напитка.
5. Готовый квас процедите в бутылки и храните в холодильнике не более 2-3 дней.

Оставшуюся гущу (сусло) можно использовать для приготовления следующей порции кваса, добавив немного готовых сухариков и воды.

90000 American Adoptions — Can You Give Your Child Up to the State? 90001 90002 90003 4 Ways to Give Your Child the Support and Love They Need 90004 90005 90002 Parenting is hard. It can seem like there are new challenges every day, and it’s normal for parents to be overwhelmed at certain times during their child’s life. 90005 90002 For some parents, though, those negative feelings constantly outweigh any happiness they glean from being a parent. Sometimes, because of a lack of other options, people in these situations may wonder: Can you give your child up to the state? 90005 90002 This is a very serious question to voice, and it usually is a sign of great distress from a parent.It is not, however, a sign that you are a bad parent. Good parents recognize what is best for their children. If you are wondering how to give up your child to the state, it is likely because you know you are not providing everything your child needs — and, out of love, you are actively looking for those resources, wherever they may be. 90005 90002 But, before giving a child up to the state, there are some important things you need to know first. 90005 90014 Consider Your Emotions 90015 90002 If you are thinking about giving a child up to the state, it’s important to recognize where your feelings are coming from.Are you simply overwhelmed at this point in your child’s life? Or are these concerns you’re having a symptom of a bigger issue? 90005 90002 No one can answer these questions but you — but our counselors are always here to help. Our professionals specialize in private adoption, which means 90019 they can provide counseling 90020 and support for people who are contemplating placing a newborn, infant, or toddler (in some cases) with another family. These counselors can help you identify your concerns about and problems with raising your child, help you determine what the best path is for you moving forward, and even offer resources to help you make that decision a reality.For help placing a newborn or infant for adoption, 90019 please call our counselors 90020 at 1-800-ADOPTION or request free information at any time. 90005 90002 It’s normal for parents to worry that they are not doing the best by their children, and feelings of 90019 «not wanting» your children 90020 are actually more common than you think. We encourage that all parents in this situation seek out counseling, therapy and other local resources before making any life-changing decisions for them and their children.90005 90014 Your Options 90015 90002 If you have consulted all of your resources and decided that parenting is not in the best interest of you or your child, you probably want to know about the options available to you. You may have a few questions, like: 90005 90002 90033 Can you give up your child to the state? 90034 90005 90002 90033 I do not want my child anymore — can child welfare come and get them? 90034 90005 90002 90033 How can I go about giving a child up to CPS? 90034 90005 90002 These are all valid questions to have if you are considering giving up your child to the state.However, the process of placing a child within state custody is a bit more complicated than simply dropping your child off with a social worker. 90005 90002 The paths for placing a child in state custody vary state by state. What is possible in one state may not be in another. In addition, different state agencies have different amounts of resources and funds available to them — which means that they may not have the space or resources to take a voluntary placement at a given time. 90005 90002 We encourage you to contact your local Department of Social Services or Department of Families and Children to find out which options are available in your area.Here are just a few examples of ways people go about «giving a child up» to the state: 90005 90050 1. Respite Foster Care 90051 90002 Respite foster care is usually 90019 a state-provided service 90020 reserved for foster families, but some states do provide this service to biological and adoptive parents who are in need of it. For these families, respite care comes at a cost, typically more than you would pay a traditional babysitter. It is a way for parents to receive professional childcare at times when they need a break for one reason or another.If you are interested in temporary care for your child without terminating your parental rights, respite care may be the right path for you. 90005 90050 2. Voluntary Relinquishment, a.k.a. «Refusal to Assume Parental Responsibility» 90051 90002 For most foster care cases, a state agency has determined a child is unsafe in parent’s home, and the child is removed involuntarily. On the other hand, a 90019 refusal to assume parental responsibility (RAPR) 90020 is a voluntary relinquishment of a child into state custody.Often, this occurs because a parent decides they can not provide the safe, supportive environment their child needs. 90005 90002 These are usually complicated situations for both the surrendering parent and state authorities. A court will not allow you to sign over your parental rights in a RAPR, but they often can not order you to take care of a child that you do not feel you can keep safe. In this case, your situation will proceed as any other Child Protective Services case. It will often be presented before a judge, and the state will, in essence, sue for the custody of your children.You can not just «give» your child up to the state; it must first be ruled that this choice is in the best interest of everyone involved. 90005 90002 This is not an option in every state. In some cases, you will retain parental rights while your child is placed in a conservatorship or a specialized home for any additional services they may need. 90005 90050 3. Temporary Guardianship or Relative Adoption 90051 90002 If you have thought about giving a child up to the state, you should consider the kind of life your child will have in state custody.Because many of these programs lack funds, resources and foster parents, your child likely will not receive the kind of life you want for him or her. They may spend years moving between foster families, without ever being adopted by a forever family. 90005 90002 To avoid this future, you may consider a temporary guardianship or a more permanent relative adoption. In a temporary guardianship, you will place your child with someone you know and trust for a short amount of time. This may give you the opportunity you need to better your situation or take a break from your current struggles.After some time, you may find you are ready to take on the responsibilities of parenthood yet again. During a guardianship, you will retain your parental rights. 90005 90002 On the other hand, if you want to secure a safe, permanent future for your child, think about placing him or her 90019 with a trusted friend or family member 90020. That way, you can still be an active part of your child’s life while giving them opportunities and support you may be unable to provide. 90005 90002 That said, do not go looking for a parent to adopt your child online.This is a very dangerous path to take, and you will not be able to ensure the safety of your child as you would with an adoption or family services professional. 90005 90050 4. Adoption Through a Private Agency 90051 90002 Finally, if you wish to avoid the unknowns of giving your child to the state, you may reach out to a local private adoption agency to find a home for your child. Certain infant adoption agencies will take children up to a few years old, while there are other non-profit agencies which can assist you with the placement of older children.90005 90002 If you are considering 90019 placing an infant or toddler for adoption 90020, you can contact adoption counselors for free at 1-800-ADOPTION at any time. They can talk you through your options and, when you are ready, help you start an adoption plan for you and your child. American Adoptions will always be here to support you during this difficult time. 90005 90002 If you have a child who is more than a few years old, we encourage you to contact your local state agency or an adoption attorney first.They can often refer you to appropriate adoption agencies for your needs in your area. If you would like to reach out to our agency, you can always request free information to learn more about your options, or request to schedule a time to speak to an adoption specialist. 90005 90002 Adoption through an agency may seem overwhelming at first, but it will provide you and your baby 90019 many advantages 90020, such as the opportunity to choose the family you want for him or her, as well as being able to maintain communication with your child through open adoption.It provides a guarantee of safety and love for your child in a way that giving up a child to the state 90019 often can not 90020. 90005 90002 If you are considering giving a child up to the state, remember that this is a life-changing decision. Before deciding which path is best for you, we encourage you to research all of your options, determine where your feelings are coming from, and take advantage of the resources available to you. Only once you do this can you make the best choice for you and your child.90005 90002 Disclaimer 90097 Information available through these links is the sole property of the companies and organizations listed therein.

The decision of what to do will always be up to you — and you alone. However, there are many options counselors available to walk you through each of these processes to help you determine what’s best for you and your pregnancy.90005 90002 At American Adoptions, a common question we get is, «What are the reasons to give your child up for adoption?» There are actually many 90009 reasons to place a baby for adoption 90010, many of them based on a pregnant woman’s individual situation and desires for her future. It’s hard to say exactly what those reasons could be for you, which is why we encourage you to speak to 90009 one of our trained counselors 90010 at 1-800-ADOPTION to discuss those potential reasons in more detail.Remember, you are never obligated to choose adoption unless you’re sure it’s right for you and you’re ready to proceed with the process. 90005 90002 Whether you’re a pregnant woman researching your unplanned pregnancy options, or a prospective adoptive parent wanting to learn more about who exactly birth parents are, we encourage you to consider some of the reasons to place a baby for adoption that other prospective birth mothers have had: 90005 90016 1. She is not ready to be a mother. 90017 90002 When a woman finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, it may be at a time in her life when she’s simply not ready for all of the responsibilities of parenthood.She may be completing her education or focusing on her career, or she may feel that she is too young or unprepared at this point in her life to offer everything that she wants her child to have. Her reason for putting a child up for adoption may be to find a family who is truly prepared to raise a child. 90005 90016 2. She does not want to be a mother. 90017 90002 In other cases, a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy has no desire to be a mother and simply does not see herself ever becoming a parent — and that’s completely okay.This can absolutely be a good reason for placing a child for adoption. In this instance, a woman chooses adoption to give her child a happy life with someone who desperately wants to be a parent. 90005 90016 3. She can not afford to raise the baby. 90017 90002 Raising a child is expensive; recent estimates put the average cost to raise a child to age 18 at more than $ 230,000. To raise a child, a person must be prepared to pay for all the expected costs — like clothing, food and childcare — as well as unexpected costs like medical emergencies.Many women who choose adoption know they would struggle to make financial ends meet and instead place their children with adoptive parents who are more prepared for these costs. 90005 90016 4. She can not currently provide a positive, stable and safe home environment for her baby. 90017 90002 In some cases, a prospective birth mother can not provide the kind of home environment she wants her baby to have, whether it’s because of complicated family and birth father relationships, financial strain or other reasons.Knowing they can not change those situations in time to raise their child in a positive environment can be one of the reasons parents put their child up for adoption. 90005 90016 5. She’s too young to raise a baby. 90017 90002 Teenagers and young mothers who become unexpectedly pregnant may choose adoption because they know they’re not ready to become parents. They want to focus on finishing their high school career, get a college education and be able to support themselves independently before having a baby.Young women who choose this option can continue attending school while pregnant and can even be eligible for adoption scholarships to continue their education after their baby’s placement. 90005 90016 6. She needs help with the medical costs of pregnancy. 90017 90002 Pregnancy is an expensive process, and it can seem impossible to carry a pregnancy to term if a prospective birth mother can not afford the associated medical costs. However, one of her reasons to give a baby up for adoption may be that she’ll receive financial assistance for the costs associated with prenatal care and her hospital stay.This assistance from an adoption agency allows her to experience pregnancy, give birth to a healthy baby and make an adoption plan for him or her. 90005 90016 7. Her family is already complete. 90017 90002 Did you know that most birth mothers are women in their 20s and 30s who are already raising at least one child? Many women who decide to place their children for adoption do so because they become pregnant after they’ve decided that their family is complete. They may not have the time, energy or resources to meet the needs of a new baby while also providing the best possible opportunities for the children they’re already raising.They decide to pursue adoption to give their baby a family while continuing to care for their other children. 90005 90016 8. She does not feel a strong connection with the baby. 90017 90002 One of the reasons to give your baby up for adoption is that you may simply not feel strongly connected to the pregnancy you’re carrying — and that’s okay. You still care about your unborn baby and want to give him or her a happy, healthy start to life. You can carry the pregnancy to term and then place the baby for adoption with parents who will love him or her unconditionally.90005 90016 9. She is facing personal challenges that will impact her ability to parent. 90017 90002 Some prospective birth mothers know that one of the reasons to choose adoption is because they can not be the kind of parent they want for their child because of personal situations they can not change quickly. For example, a prospective birth mother may be recovering from addiction or another mental or physical health issue. She may be giving birth to her baby in prison or trying to regain custody of previous children who are in the foster system.No matter what it is, these kinds of issues can impact her ability to properly parent and cause her to consider adoption for her baby instead. 90005 90016 10. She does not want her baby to enter foster care. 90017 90002 In cases where a prospective birth mother is involved with her state’s department of child protection services, she may have the option to make her own adoption plan, rather than having the baby removed and placed in foster care. This reason for putting a child up for adoption is a critical one; it allows her to make the plan that she feels is best for her baby.This includes choosing the perfect adoptive parents, developing an open adoption relationship with them and more. Foster care does not give her the same control, so she may make an adoption plan to avoid her baby entering the foster system. 90005 90016 11. Her baby has needs she feels she can not meet. 90017 90002 Thanks to medical advances, doctors can detect a baby’s medical and special needs in utero more quickly than ever before. Finding out her baby has these special needs is hard for any pregnant woman, but if a woman knows that she can not provide the extra financial and practical support that her baby’s special needs require, she may pursue adoption in order to find parents for her baby that can.There are many adoption agencies that specifically work with prospective birth mothers in this situation; there is always the perfect family out there for every baby. Special needs adoption lets a prospective birth mother know that her child is receiving the care and support he or she needs to live a happy, healthy life of success. 90005 90016 12. She wants her baby to be raised in a two-parent home. 90017 90002 One of the reasons women give children up for adoption is because they’re not in a stable relationship with their baby’s father or do not know who their baby’s father is.Instead of raising her baby on her own as a single mother, an expectant mother knows that she wants him or her to have a stable, two-parent home full of support. 90005 90016 13. She does not have a good relationship with her baby’s father and does not want to be forever connected to him. 90017 90002 Choosing to raise a child is not just a commitment to becoming a parent; in many cases, it’s also a commitment to a relationship and connection with a baby’s father. Unless a woman wants to and is prepared to be a single mother to her baby, she will need the help of her baby’s father, either practically or financially.Women who do not have a good relationship with their baby’s father likely do not want this permanent connection to keep him in their lives — or even the emotional connection of raising his child. So, instead, they may choose adoption. 90005 90016 14. She does have a good relationship with her baby’s father, and they decide together that adoption is the right choice. 90017 90002 On the other hand, some prospective birth mothers ‘reasons to place a baby for adoption have nothing to do with their baby’s birth father being unsupportive.In fact, there are many couples that choose to place an unborn child for adoption together as a team. Usually, they know they’re not ready to raise a child and they have other goals they want to accomplish before doing that. Our adoption specialists are happy to involve both prospective birth mothers and fathers equally in this kind of adoption decision. 90005 90016 15. She is in a relationship with someone other than her baby’s father. 90017 90002 Sometimes, a prospective birth mother considers adoption because the baby she is carrying was conceived outside of the relationship she’s currently in.Whether she became pregnant before entering her current relationship, during a break with her partner or under other circumstances, she may decide that this is a reason to give a baby up for adoption. 90005 90016 16. She does not have a strong support system of friends and family members to help her parent. 90017 90002 The phrase «It takes a village» is certainly accurate when it comes to raising a child. But, if a pregnant woman does not have the support from friends and family that she deserves while she prepares to raise her child, she likely will not have that support through her baby’s childhood — making the parenthood journey even more difficult.Knowing that she will not have help raising her child on her own, she may choose adoption to give her child the supportive family and community they deserve as they grow up. 90005 90016 17. She wants her baby to have a different upbringing than she had. 90017 90002 Some prospective birth mothers grew up watching their own parents struggle, and this is a very strong «why» to consider adoption. They may know firsthand the challenges of being raised in a home that was not fully prepared for a child, and they want to provide a brighter future for their own baby.Whether a prospective birth mother is struggling financially, is not in a stable relationship, is involved with child protective services or is otherwise facing the same challenges she was raised with, she may choose adoption to give her baby a different experience. 90005 90016 18. She does not want certain people in her life to know about her pregnancy. 90017 90002 Similarly, some women are in situations where their friends and family would not approve of their unplanned pregnancies. Carrying a pregnancy to term and raising a child can be difficult for them in these circumstances, and they may look for another option.Fortunately, an adoption decision can be kept as confidential as it needs to be to protect a pregnant woman’s safety. 90005 90016 19. Her pregnancy was the result of sexual assault. 90017 90002 Tragically, some women who are sexually assaulted find themselves pregnant afterward, putting them in a difficult situation — do they raise the child of their assaulter, terminate the pregnancy or place the child for adoption? While some women can not handle the emotional trauma of raising a baby that’s a reminder of assault, they do want to give their baby a chance at life and choose adoption.If this is the case for someone who is wondering why to consider adoption, American Adoptions ‘adoption specialists can provide support and assist these women with seeking the local services they may need to move forward from their sexual assault. 90005 90016 20. She does not feel like abortion or being a parent are the right choices for her. 90017 90002 Women facing an unplanned pregnancy always have the right to choose what’s best for them and their baby, and they are the only ones who can make the decision.As a woman is considering these options, she may decide that abortion and parenting are simply not right for her — motivating her to choose adoption as her solution. 90005 90016 21. She has religious or moral reasons for choosing adoption over abortion or becoming a single mother. 90017 90002 Similarly, some women have certain convictions about abortion and being a single mother that prevent them from choosing these options as a solution for their unplanned pregnancy. For these women, adoption is the best choice.90005 90016 22. She wants to take control of her situation. 90017 90002 When a woman finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, it can seem like her life is out of control. She’s facing a challenge she never dreamed she would, and she may not know what to do. She’s probably thinking about a lot of options and wondering why people consider adoption. However, the adoption process allows a woman to take control of her situation in a way that her other unplanned pregnancy options may not. With adoption, a prospective birth mother is in charge all the way through — from choosing a family for her baby to deciding what kind of contact she wants with them to what her hospital stay will look like.This way, women can shape their own future. 90005 90016 23. She wants to see her child grow up through open adoption. 90017 90002 Many women choose adoption because they want to give their baby the best possible chance at life, and adoption gives them the chance to watch their baby grow up happy and healthy. When you choose adoption, you can choose varying levels of openness in the process, from receiving letters and photos of your child growing up to having a direct, personal relationship with your baby’s adoptive parents.For many women, this ability to see their child grow up and know that they are safe is one of the major reasons to place a baby for adoption. It also prevents the child from having to wonder, «Why do people get given up for adoption?» In an open adoption, the birth mother always has the chance to explain her decision to her child. 90005 90016 24. She does not want to put her future plans on hold. 90017 90002 Unplanned pregnancies come at a time when they’re not scheduled in someone’s life. Some prospective birth mothers have plans like furthering their education, advancing in their careers and even getting married.Raising a child would financially and practically delay many of these future plans, which is why some women choose adoption instead. 90005 90016 25. She tries to parent but ultimately decides adoption is the best option for her. 90017 90002 Sometimes, adoption is not the first decision that a pregnant woman makes. It’s not uncommon for women to plan on raising their child after giving birth, only to find that they are not quite ready for the responsibilities and demands of parenthood. Fortunately, adoption is always an option, as it’s never too late to choose to place your child for adoption.Even if a baby is weeks or months old, a mother can make an adoption plan to give her baby the best opportunities in life. 90005 90016 26. She already knows how amazing adoption can be. 90017 90002 One reason to give a baby up for adoption is that many prospective birth mothers already have a personal connection to adoption before choosing this option for their baby. Whether she was adopted herself or knows friends or family members who have completed the adoption process, she might decide that she wants her baby to have the same amazing adoption experience.90005 90016 27. She wants to help someone else create their family. 90017 90002 There are many hopeful parents out there waiting to add a child to their life through adoption. For women who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant and unable to raise their children, they can make parenthood dreams come true in a way no one else can. While placing a child for adoption is certainly a huge sacrifice, it’s also an incredibly selfless move that can bring happiness and joy in helping someone else’s dream of being a parent come true.90005 90016 28. She wants to create something positive out of her unplanned pregnancy. 90017 90002 One reason to place a baby for adoption is that it can be a way for prospective birth mothers to find something positive in a situation they may initially view as negative. Placing a baby with people who desperately want to become parents and making their dream come true gives many women a sense of pride and happiness. A woman who lovingly chooses adoption for her baby can look back on her adoption story with self-fulfillment knowing she made a choice that impacted so many people’s lives.90005 90016 29. She wants her baby to have opportunities she can not provide. 90017 90002 This is among the most commons reasons to «give» your baby up for adoption — to give a baby the best opportunities in life, even if it’s with different parents. Many prospective birth mothers know they can not provide all they want their child to have (for example, a two-parent household or eventual higher education), so they instead choose to give their child those opportunities with other parents. For many babies placed, adoption is the first step toward a brighter future.90005 90016 30. She loves her baby unconditionally and wants the best for him or her. 90017 90002 Finally, most prospective birth mothers have one similar reason for choosing adoption for their baby: unconditional love. As much as it hurts to make this sacrifice, they know that adoption is the best choice for themselves and their baby. It’s their love for their child that motivates them to make this decision — and their desire for their baby to have a happy, healthy life. Adopted children know they are loved in their birth mother’s decision, as it’s one of the most selfless things a woman could choose to do.90005 90002 — 90005 90002 If you’re asking, «Should I put my baby up for adoption?» the adoption specialists at American Adoptions are always available to counsel you through this decision.

This is mainly because children will obey the words of parents rather than the teachers. In many books, we can see that the parents are the first teachers. Parents should teach basic qualities like respect, obedience, honesty. Parents should teach those qualities at an early age so that their children can imbibe these qualities into them.For instance, my uncle’s daughter is just studying 5th class, but she respects the elderly people. Since their parents taught her the qualities which she must inculcate in her. 90019 90016 The education starts at home and the things learned from early childhood become part of someone’s personality and characteristics. Hence, the things kids learn from their parents have a lasting impression on people. So parents should be careful about teaching their kids the moral values ​​and responsibilities to society.Children by nature mimic their family members and thus parents can teach their kids how to be good members of the society by performing their duties correctly. Most children obey their parents more than anyone else and the instructions the parents give thus have better chances to be obeyed by children. Not all parents can spend sufficient time with children because of their ever-increasing business outside of homes and for those students teachers play an important role. Some students listen to the teachers they like and follow their instructions like written laws.Thus teachers can contribute towards teaching the morality and responsibilities to the children. 90019 90016 On the other hand, there are certain groups of people who vehemently contend that school is the right place to learn how to be good members of society. One of the reasons why this view is held is that nowadays children are not having sufficient time to spend with their parents because both of the parents might be employed or they may keep their child in a hostel. In school children will learn the education.The school must also include these qualities as a part of course structure so that the child may follow them. 90019 90016 Thus, it is evident from all discussion that, both the arguments carry equal strength and significance and neither can be refuted outright. I personally subscribe to the proposition that, school is the right place to learn how to be good members of society. 90019 90016 (Total Words: 90017 462 90018 | Written by 90017 Trilok 90018) 90019 90016 90019 90016 90017 Sample Answer 2: 90018 90041 As society has developed, different people have different opinions about how children should be taught the ways of living so that they can contribute their part and become good members of society.Some people think that parents should be leading from the front and some think that schools are the best place to teach these rules to the children. However, I think that parents should consider this as their responsibility instead of relying on the school to do this job. 90019 90016 Now let us discuss if parents do this job and become successful in carrying out this task. This will not only help their children to live a good life but also teach them the rules and provide them with the guideline how to behave with juniors, respect elders, deal with day to day matters, responding to difficult situations etc., Which you can not expect from the school to teach as school is basically associated with academics. Although they will teach children how to become good members and play their roles in the society, the time, attention, sincerity, and dedication which I think that can be played by the parents only. 90019 90016 Schools mostly teach academic lessons and punctuality to the students. They do not fully focus on moral values ​​a child should learn and practice and in fact, they do not have sufficient scope to do so.Parents, on the other hand, have a good chance to do it. In many cases, the kids mimic the parents and thus the parents can make some examples to teach their kids. The kids mostly look at the teacher as some outsiders who would teach them the academic lesson, not personal values. Parents spent much more time with children than the teachers do. Teachers sometimes do not know the personal choices of students and thus can not evaluate them perfectly. Not all teachers would take the responsibility to teach the students the responsibilities of a good member of society.90019 90016 Schools can not replace the role and responsibility of parents because it deals with a large number of children and each and every child has his / her own state of mind, understanding level, thinking level and it is not possible for teachers to understand each and every child and teach him / her accordingly but the parents know their children by birth know his likes, dislikes, how he can understand etc. I would like to give my example that my parents always considered first their own role to teach me only academics lessons but also how to live life successfully as they have spent their lives and the mistakes that they have made should not be repeated by me.90019 90016 In the end, I would like to conclude that parents should be the leading this part of this job and should not expect this role from the school and time will tell that their efforts will not go in vain and will not only help their children but also coming generations. 90019 90016 (Total Words: 90017 462 90018 | Written by 90017 Mubashir Noorani 90018) 90019 90016 90019 90016 90017 Essay Answer 3: 90018 90041 In today’s world, socialism and being a member of society is a crucial value in our life.Contributing positively to society is a target for everyone. Some people see that directing children to participate and being a member of the society is something that should be ensured by the parents ‘duty, while another camp believes that it is a school’s task. Both sides of this debate will be analysed before drawing a conclusion. 90019 90016 On the one hand, assigning parents to teach their children to be the good members of the society is supported by some people. For example, parents may teach their children and guide them to assist poor people by providing the food prepared by their parents.This example shows how parents may take the lead to guide their children to be positive and valued in society. Therefore, this idea is supported by many. The parents are more close to the children and they can teach their kids the important aspects of being a good member of society. Most of the children mimic their parents ‘activities and thus the parents have a greater role in setting good examples for their kids. 90019 90016 On the other hand, many believe that school plays a golden rule in children life.For instance, a school may prepare a campaign to their students to clean certain areas in their city. Such an attitude gives children practical experience in contributing to society. Thus, many argue that it would be better to leave this to the school. The teachers on behalf of the school have a big role to teach the students those responsibilities. Since students listen to their teachers ‘suggestion and command, they are more likely to obey the things their teachers would teach. Finally, the curriculum and textbooks can include such topics to increase awareness among the students.90019 90016 In conclusion, the debate will always remain between both camps for assigning this responsibility. In my opinion, schools should take this task on their shoulders as the children spend most of their daytime there. 90019 90016 [by — 90017 Ahmed 90018] 90019 90016 90019 90016 90017 Essay Answer 4: 90018 90041 It is considered by some that parents should teach their children about the ways to be good and civilised members of society while others hold the opinion that these values should be taught by the school.However, in my opinion, I believe that parents and school both are equally important to instil moral values, among children, to be a good citizen. 90019 90016 On one hand, parents are the first teachers, and home is the first school where children learn about life lessons. Educating children about love, empathy, kindness, and socially acceptable behaviour is a must at home. In addition, children should be taught to help the needy members of the community because parents know their children well.Hence, they can teach their kids about social responsibilities effectively, which should not be ignored. 90019 90016 On the other hand, school is the place where children are taught skills on various subjects that help to be self-reliant. When children gain education and various skills in school, it will help them in future to become self-dependent. This will also empower them to contribute towards society using their skills. For example, educated children may help to teach alphabets and help to read and write, to illiterate members of the society.Thus, in my opinion, children should be taught to be socially responsible by parents as well as at school. When children get such education of skills, love, and kindness they can grow to become a helpful member of society. 90019 90016 In conclusion, the most effective method to help children to become morally and socially responsible part of a society is to teach them at home and also at school. 90019 90016 [by — 90017 Vikas Singtan 90018] 90019 90016 90019 90016 90017 Model Answer 5: 90018 90041 In ancient societies, all children did not have access to education and in some parents did not teach to their children how to act.They wanted them to grow up as fast as possible to leave the family nest and go to work to bring money at home. In this period, education was not the core of people interest. 90019 90016 In our modern society, education has become one of the most important tools in countries development. Nowadays, this is not surprising to see a government spend millions of dollars in its educational programs such as creating schools or bringing technological materials. But today, one main question stays on hold.Is it school’s role to teach children how to be good members of society or it is parents role? 90019 90016 First, we will focus on this question and conclude with my own opinion. First of all, we all know that a child spends his / her first three years at home with the family before to enter school. For these three years, the child is already able to learn many things such as language and how to act in a good way. From this moment parents have to teach him how to start speaking and acting in an appropriate way.As a result, once at school, he will know using a good vocabulary and for example, that hitting others classmates is not a good thing to do. Also, once entered at school parents have to continue to teach their child what are the good manners to adopt. For example, if the teachers do not stop to repeat those bad words are banned and absolutely not nice to use and that once gets home, the children hear many of them from his / her parents. He will be completely lost and do not understand what is wrong and what is not.The school has been instituted to teach children how to grow up in a good way, develop their inspirations and start living in a community with other students. 90019 90016 To conclude, I agree that school possesses an important role in children integration. A child is going to reproduce, mimic and repeat his parents ‘behaviour first. Sometimes he is even going to choose of his parents as models. Which little girl has never fallen in love with her father and tries to mimic him? I truly believe that school and family have to work together to allow to the child to get the best education.90019 90016 [by — 90017 Justine Dhuicq 90018] 90019 90016 90019 90016 90017 Model Essay Answer 6: 90018 90041 We have been developing our personality throughout our entire life, yet the crucial time to mould our characteristic could happen at a rather young age. Some believe it is our families that define who we will become while others argue that it is the school’s utmost responsibility to teach us morality and to give us guidance. In my own perception, I am more positive with the former.90019 90016 The family is the first environment that we immersed ourselves in ever since we were born. The behaviour our parents deliver and the value they convey certainly have a colossal impact on our personality. It is also a vital process for a parent to teach their child the righteous perspective toward society at the very beginning. It is like creating a masterpiece on a pure canvas before it is contaminated. 90019 90016 For people who believe that school should be the right place to educate students into obtaining the correct attitude of their lives and having the decent morality to become a good member of our society, they put their faith in the teachers.Teachers provide standard expectations that our society has for its members, offering knowledge and ideas with less bias and less possibility of deviation from the student. It is also essential for young children to meet other people, their classmates that are from various backgrounds, in order to help cultivate their ability to cherish and respect diversity. 90019 90016 In conclusion, both points of views have their own dispute, yet for me, trying to build a child’s characteristic until they are already studying in schools seems to be a little too slow.Many values ​​could have been buried deep in our mind. Thus, I believe it’s our family that should play the important role for this rather than the school afterwards. 90019 90016 [by — 90017 Chen Emma 90018] 90019.
