Discussion

Going off of our discussion in class today about how when a man is with a child people look at them and just think awe what a good father. I think the reason for this is because woman are the ones who carry the child, they have a connection with the child no matter what but fathers don't have that. I think fathers have to almost build that bond and connection with their child so it is very different to see a man out with a child but I think that's why people look at them the way they do and praise them. I think it's expected of the mother just because they are the ones that carried the child. Speaking as someone who wants to be an Early Childhood Education teacher whenever I see children out walking or wherever I don't even pay attention to who is with them. I look to see that the child looks happy, healthy and that the person with the child isn't completely ignoring them. I always smile when seeing a child, to me it doesn't really matter who is with them as long as the child is being taken care of (or at least looks it from where I am).
