On the other hand Hannah is a devoted young 15 year old, who appears to be very mature and eager to please. At the age of 14, Hannah moves in with her aunt to devote all of her time into becoming a pianist. Her aunt was happy with her move, and continued to teach Hannah. But later on, Hannah became annoyed with her aunt’s rules and breaks them. After her aunt kicks her out of her house, Hannah began to cry and says “Don’t make me go, Tante Rose” (Horton 39).
These parents often resort to gift giving and even outright bribery, rather than setting boundaries and expecting obedience. The parent wants to be more of a friend than a parent. According to Dr. Phil McGraw (2009), children need boundaries and rules to learn right from wrong. “It is your job to be a parent not a friend to your child.”
It is evident that parenting should definitely come with a licence. A parent’s choices and behaviour towards others have a large impact on how their children think and act. Parents who abuse drugs, bully and commit domestic violence within the home are inadvertently teaching their children to do the same. They are often not aware that children are ‘learning machines’ and what parents say and how they act are being closely watched and copied. This was revealed by the Survey of Massachusetts Dept.
The children are the ones that will carry on our society and it is our jobs to teach them morals and values. The most important factor in children’s lives is domestic trends. Children are very impressionable and look to adults for guidance and role models. There are now many types of family units including: single parents, divorced parents, married couples, homosexual couples and other relatives acting as parents. Studies done by Sara McLanahan and Gary D. Sandefur, they had found that children raised by single parents were worse off in life than children that were raised by both parents regardless of race, educational background or if the parent was remarried.
Parenting styles has been the center of the discussion concerning the outcome of a child’s life since Adam and Eve had their first two children Cain and Able. In this paper, biblical parenting styles will be examined as well as modern concepts of parenting. We will also discuss the four major modern parenting styles and how their authors established their criteria. The four modern parenting styles, authoritarian, permissive, authoritative and uninvolved will be compared and contrasted and we will see what parenting style has the greater positive and negative effect on children. Is it set in stone that a certain parenting style is the best or do external influences such as peer pressure, media and societal pressures
Parenting Styles Brittany Patten Liberty University Abstract There are many different parenting styles utilized by caregivers in today’s world. Parenting styles may depend on location in the world, tradition, personal preference, or a myriad of other reasons.

By conducting this study she suggested that there were 3 different parenting styles. Later on research conducted by Maccoby & Martin in 1983 suggested that there were four different types of parenting styles, authoritarian parenting, authoritative parenting, permissive parenting, and uninvolved parenting. In this paper I will go over the four styles of parenting. Authoritarian Parenting Authoritarian parents tend to be more demanding of their children, yet, very low in responsiveness (Partner, 2009). Parents who are authoritarian do not expect their children to question why they say the things they say.
Family Systems and how they function Tony Newsome Dr. Pamela Todd September 11, 2014 Introduction Family Systems and Healthy Development beings with parenting and how parents raise their children. In this essay, I will discuss how one can discern a healthy family system, what are the determining factors that distinguish healthy systems, the effects of an unhealthy family system on development, and how family systems affect physical (neural), emotional, spiritual, and social development. Parents are the ones who mold and shape their children whether it is being an authoritarian/military style approach or permissive, a more laid back approach. Children who have parents barking orders at them all the time will either revel or will clam up like a robot and will not be able to interact sociably with others. Permissive parents have children who, in many ways, share the undesirable characteristics of children of authoritarian parents.
His account in Émile (1762) of the “natural” education of the fictional titular character was controversial, considered even irreligious by some critics. The method of education he outlined was also quite impracticable, as it involved the veritable isolation for years of the boy and his tutor in the country, far from the rest of society, where he could learn from nature and for himself. Like Locke, Rousseau was interested in education as a means of producing self-sufficient individuals who would make good citizens in a new society. To become the good adult citizen, however, the child Émile must endure the invasive and constant supervision of his tutor. Further, Rousseau’s model of education and citizenship is only intended for males.
