Research shows that parenting style is related to a child’s psychosocial development. Your text describes several parenting styles, including authoritative, permissive, and authoritarian.
Think back to your own upbringing.
Which type of parenting style did you experience from your parent(s) or guardian(s)? Explain your answer.
How do you think being parented in this way influenced your development? Does your own experience match the research?
If you have children (or plan to have children), will what you’ve learned about development impact how you parent? Why or why not?
*Note: Only write what you feel comfortable sharing, and remember to be respectful of others’ differing backgrounds and experiences in your comments.
