About Me


 Hello, my name is Trent Law and I am from Cody, WY. I am currently in my 4th semester at BYU-Idaho majoring in psychology. I am super excited to be starting this new blog talking about relations that we have in our family. Please bare with me as this is my first time ever attempting to do a blog. With every topic that I write, I do encourage discussion and will try to answer any questions that may be asked. I may not know the answer to every question, but I will do the best that I can.

Parenting

It’s that time again for another blog post. For this week, we learned about different areas that relate to parenting. Compared to any other job out there, parenting should be considered the most important job there is. The purposes of parenting are to help train the next generation to live effectively. Another way of putting it is to protect and prepare children to survive and thrive in the world in which they live. The videos that we watched relating to parenting focused on how we can effectively parent a teenager. When children are young they are usually good about following the rules that parents outline for them, but it is a different story for teenagers. Once children reach their teenage years their minds become active in engaging in risky behavior. One example of this was a video that showed a boy sneak out the window of his bedroom early in the morning and came home an hour later. Though he was able to sneak back into his room through the window, his parents came in upset with h...

Fathers and Finances

  In this week’s classes, we discussed the importance that fathers play in the family as well as learning about family finances. Hearing accounts from others about the importance of fatherhood has helped me know for myself that having a father in the home is crucial. From personal experience, I grew up not having my father around, but I am not bitter about it. I cannot remember my feelings about it when I was younger, but there was a chance that I was confused about why my father was not involved more in my life. Though he may not have been in my life every day, I was allowed to visit with him biweekly at his house. My father is big into four-wheelers and I remember the first time that he allowed me to drive one for myself. My first attempt though did not happen as well as what I would have liked it to go. I’m not sure how it happened but I remember driving the four-wheeler one second but then finding myself underneath it the next, it all happened so fast. Luckily for me, the four-...

Family Under Stress

  For this week’s class, the topic we focused on was learning about family crises and how we can best overcome the adversities that we all face in life. There are mentioned some methods that are seen to be ineffective in dealing with a crisis. One idea that might help initially is denying that the crisis even exists. Though this may be helpful at first in dealing with the crisis, it will still be left unresolved. Avoiding the crisis might give you some relief, but the crisis will also be left unresolved and will only become worse the more that it is put off. The best way of dealing with a crisis is to work together with other members of the family to find ways of getting past the problem. In my life, I have had instances of hearing dear ones who I was close to passing away. The first experience I had of this was a dear friend of mine who was the second counselor of the bishopric when I first met him. I remember him taking me for a ride in his roadster and times that we would go int...
