Question: What are ideas for writing a paper about anything to do with parenting?
I’m writing a paper for one of my psychology classes and the professor said that we can write on anything to do with parenting but I just don’t know what to write about. He said the paper has to move him emotionally and he has to say WOW THIS WAS A GREAT PAPER. IT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME I ACTUALLY CARE. Can anyone help me with any ideas for this paper I have to write. Thank you!:D

Any parent waiting in the hospital to talk to their child’s doctor and it’s not good news. My mother lost my sister when she was 20 and my beautiful baby girl became ill within her first week and suffered permanent brain damage. These are the worst moments for any parent. You might try to talk to someone who has had to go through this to get a story that feels real; long enough ago that they’re able to talk about it. it could have even happened in your family (one that had a happy ending hopefully).

He is awestruck by the big city and quietly distressed by Patricia and Richard s slowly crumbling marriage, but his polite Southern nature creates a connecting force between the three. In less time than it takes to have dinner, these three have changed each other s lives forever

February 24, 2007 was the day we met our four children in Ethiopia. Due to US Visa complications, we were unable to bring our two daughters home at that time. We brought our two sons home first. Two months later when our daughter’s Visa was approved, Russ returned to Ethiopia, to bring her home. In celebration we have created this slideshow. Following the creation of this slideshow, we completed the adoption of another daughter, whom we met and fell in love with on the same day, February 24, 2007 at our daughter’s orphanage. We returned to Ethiopia and brought her home on August 10, 2008.
