From the beginning, we see that Hester Prynne is a young and beautiful woman who has brought a child into the world with an unknown father. She is punished by Puritan society by wearing the scarlet letter A on the bosom of her dress and standing on the scaffold for three hours. Her hair ... eyes deep-set, and black, her attire is rich, carefully caressing her slender figure. The scaffold is a painful task to bear; the townspeople gathered around to gossip and stare at Hester and her newborn child, whom she suitably named Pearl, named because of her extreme value to her mother. In the disorder of faces in the crowd, young Hester Prynne sees the face of a man she once was fiercely familiar with, whom we later learn is her true husband, Roger Chillingworth.

Gary Neuman, therapist and author of "Are You Getting Divorced," explains that depending on your child's age, detail should be minimal. He says that when children are between three and four years old, simply telling them that divorce is a grown-up thing that mommies and daddies do when they make each other sad for a long time, and decide not to live in the same house anymore could be enough (88). Being a child of divorce myself, recollection of how it was communicated to me is not all that clear because I was at the very young age of three years old. However, after interviewing my parents, their ...

- 376: Societies Scapegoat
- ... With the TV in the forefront of virtually every home in the civilized world, it's no wonder that it's the easiest target for criticism. It's elementary to blame the tube for a child's behavior; it's a quick and easily identified source of violence within a youths confined world. The TV many times is identified as the cause of aggressive acts to avoid dealing with other underlying ... is perfectly acceptable and necessary. Violence in moderation teaches children about situations that may be encountered outside of their home, and helps them to deal with such incidents. Kids are aggressive in nature, and a child who grows up on Barney, the Purple Dinosaur, and Mary Poppins is likely to have a difficult time dealing with other kids. Face it, children need a certain amount of bellicosity to balance out all the bubbly behavior that some of these idiotic child role models portray: like Barney, who should be committed to an asylum. (I know if I was forced to watch Barney at an early age I probably would have blown up the house.) You ...

- 379: The Advantages Of Wealth
- ... counterpart. This is not so much because of the proximity of money, but because of what that money can do. Having ample funds allows the infants parents the freedom to spend more time with the child and it also makes the entrance of the baby much less traumatic for the family. The other family however will face a much greater economic shock with the coming of a child and as a result will have to devote even more time to work, leaving the child to, in large part, rear itself.

For example, studies have been conducted on whether children that have been raised by single parents are going to develop differently than if both natural parenting members were present through a child's infancy and adolescents.

With a shocking change of one or both parents in any stage of ... step or adopted parents, entirely different siblings could possibly become added to the family structure, altering the environments of all affected children.
