After viewing the video What’s Your Parenting Style? (For an alternate accessible resource, read the article Diana Baumrind’s (1996) prototypical descriptions of 3 parenting styles), and reviewing the Parenting Style Questionnaire, write a three- to four-page paper (not including the title and reference pages) comparing and contrasting two parenting styles (uninvolved parenting, permissive parenting, authoritarian parenting, or authoritative parenting).
Additionally, select a specific developmental stage between 2 and 15 years of age and explain how parenting styles influence a child’s behavior in the classroom and how modifications in parenting can create a positive family environment. This paper must include a minimum of two scholarly sources in addition to the course text. Your paper should be submitted in APA format.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
