Parenting Styles

Since we just took at test and haven't covered any new material, I thought I would blog about a topic I discussed in another class. We covered parenting styles and looked at the characteristics of the parent and child. I think it's really important to know them and how they affect people, especially since I am going to be a teacher and working with kids and their parents. For the most part I would say that my parents are authoritative, which is a democratic way of going about parenting kids. The listen to what I have to say, but whatever they say their decision is, just is, no buts about it. :) It's seems to have worked well for my family, but I understand how the other three are beneficial to different people in different situations.
