Description
Discussion Chapter 2: Parenting Patterns
Patterns of parenting or parenting styles (listed below) have been found to be
associated with positive and negative outcomes for a child’s social-emotional
development. These patterns are distinguished by two dimensions, responsiveness,
which includes affection, and demandingness, which sometimes is labeled as
control. See figure 2.1 on page 31 of the textbook. Thinking of your own childhood
or that of another child, how would you describe, briefly, the parent’s parenting
style in terms of demandingness and responsiveness? What appears to be the effect
of this parenting pattern on the child you chose? Ask your classmates if they agree
with you based on the evidence you provide.
