In class today we talked about Parenting. I am also in a parenting class, so I thought I had a pretty good understanding about the basic concepts. However, I learned a few interesting things today that I want to share.
As children are growing and learning, Parents have just as much to learn, and their learning curve is just as steep as the children's learning curve.
My teacher made the comment that how we parent will majorly come from the way we were raised by our parents. How they treated us when we were little, will influence us in the way we treat our children in the future.
The last thing I found interesting, was that the the parenting style of Authoritarian and Permissive were similar in one way. Both of these parenting styles were focused on the Parent. These two styles were about them. The Authoritarian parent rules by dictatorship, regulation, and I am in charge. Do as I say, and obey.
The Permissive parent wants to be their child's friend, and gives little correction, or any direction.
