Goals for this activity:
1. Apply information from class to your own life.
2. Recognize the parenting style you were raised with.
3. Think about your future and what type of parenting behaviors you want to exhibit, as well as how these behaviors will affect your child.
During the first week of class, we discussed different types of parenting, including authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, indulgent, indifferent, inconsistent, and traditional. While every parent exhibits some characteristics from each of these parenting styles, all parents have one dominant parenting style. Think about your upbringing and various parenting practices exhibited by your parents. Consider the actions of one adult who raised you and describe the following:
1. The dominant parenting style of this individual. (1 point)
2. Give 1 example from your childhood of how this person exhibited characteristics from this parenting style. (2 points)
3. Think ahead into your future and imagine you have children. What parenting style do you want to exhibit most? Why? What child outcomes are associated with this parenting style? (2 points)
