Parenting Styles

Parenting styles have changed over the years. Think back to your

childhood.

• What style of parenting did your parents use? • Was it effective? Why or why not?

Are you a parent? If so, do you use the same parenting style your

parents did or did you come up with your own? Please explain.

If you aren’t a parent, please tell us your expectations of parenting. Do

you think you’ll use the same style of parenting your parents used,

something from the your readings, or a combination? Please explain.
