Discussion Questions
1- My parents’ parenting style was authoritarian. We were seven kids in my family, four boys and three girls. My parents were very strict, but loving. They set up rules for us to follow, and we did not have the right to argue or question their authority. We were rewarded if we follow rules and help out at home. This style did work very well for all of us because we turned out to be responsible, educated and respectful to ourselves and others. Now, I am a mother of three wonderful kids. And I am doing my best to use the authoritative style with my children. I believe it is the right parenting style to raise healthy, responsible, and open minded kids.
