Parenting is unique, in that it is a culmination of several
factors, including learned behavior ( what we learned from our
parents), peer influence, formal training / education,
social-economic factors as well as cultural traditions. there are
however, some common elements in regards to parenting such as the
ones described by Baumrind in 1966. Using sources like the health
and human services child welfare information gateway compare and
contrast the information you covered in your course readings (
especially the different styles of parenting ) to what is being
currently described as more current practices and thoughts on
parenting.
