Parenting Styles

Kohn
conformity - involves strict supervision
self direction - stresses development and motivation

Baumrind
authoritarian - demands obedience
permissive - little control and few rules. children given much freedom
authroitative - encourages freedom and relies on positive reinforcement. avoids punishment

Lareau
concerted cultivation - assess children's interests and abilities
accomplishment and natural growth - provides basic needs but but development is spontaneous

i believe Baumrind's ideas of parenting styles make the most sense. he provides a wide variety of styles which show how different parents are. from the neglectful to the strict, he provides good explanations to why children are different because they are raised differently.
