This lesson will compare and contrast various parenting styles and their effect on children.
Control and evaluate behavior and attitudes of their children; set strict rules with little flexibility.
Committed, loving and supportive while maintaining firm boundaries; rational, intelligent, verbal “give-and-take”; discuss rules and policies with their children.
Less controlling, fewer demands with no clear guidelines for their children, consult with children about decisions, less enforcement of rules, and may use reason instead of direct power.
