Parenting Styles, Effects of Family and Culture in Children
This paper expresses the opinions regarding an interview that was conducted with a parent, a mother of four children. It explores the relationship between the parent and the children and classifies the parenting type. Further, the interview gives the major features to justify the classification. It also analyzes the influence that the family and culture has exposed the children to and giving the lessons learned from the interview results and relating the scenario with the parenthesis theories learned in the topic.
The interviewee is a mother of four children: two males and two females. The child gender ratio is well-balanced. The first child is a girl aged 19 years, closely followed by a female aged 15 years. The two sons follow one another closely, and they are aged 9 years and 7 years. It was established that children have different behaviors based on their age differences. However, the differences are very thin since they share many common characteristics in regards to the family and environment of growth.
Upon interview, the mother could not classify her parenting style. She was, however, able to explain and give a clear elaboration on how she relates to her children. The findings from the interview show that she is a parent who wants things to be done right and according to her directions. She is not permissive and believes the children have no feelings to be considered at all.
