Diana Baumrinds Chart Identifying and Describing a Parenting Style Paper

Instructions for the “Identifying and Describing a Parenting Style” essay.
Chart on Parenting Styles: We have a one or two-page handout (Diana Baumrind’s chart on parenting styles (see attached).
Special note: Please use either the Baumrind or the Heath parenting styles chart. There are many different parenting style charts on the web, and it becomes quite confusing. I would prefer throughout the course that you stick to the assigned resources I provide rather than surfing the web unless otherwise approved by myself.
The following definitions sketch out some interesting ideas about parenting styles.
But first, a caveat (a warning): Findings from this research conducted in 1967, 1971 and later are limited to English-speaking white students and their families. These findings do a poorer job of predicting academic performance of other ethnic groups, and especially poorly in predicting the performance in school of children of inner city, dangerous neighborhoods and children of Asian families. As other kinds of developmental psychological findings do, these are “in focus” for the white middle class children and less useful in predicting outcomes for other groups.
Not on the Baumrind chart: Traditional Parenting:
This style of parenting resembles Authoritarian (cold, demanding, harsh) parenting, but is balanced by warmth and affection. This type of parenting is often found with grandparents or with immigrants who have recently come to the United States.
Taking into account cultural differences:
Please remind yourself to take cultural, SES, and neighborhood differences into account in evaluating parenting styles. Parents have different parenting styles when they are raising a child in a dangerous neighborhood. African-American parents have to prepare their children to face discrimination and racial profiling.
The Assignment:
* Please select one of the selected essays from our collection. Please see the attached essay. Please write a reflection on the each of the types (there might be more than one) of parenting illustrated in that essay you chose from the list I will give you. At the start of your paper, please identify the number of the essay you will be analyzing!
* Please explain why you feel the essay you chose demonstrates the type or types of parenting you chose.
To strengthen your argument, search for and read one article from the web or one scholarly database. These articles should add to your knowledge about the type of parenting you chose to study.
Your assignment is to discuss the information in the classmate’s essay and the further information you found on the web or in a scholarly database. This assignment should be around APA style, two pagesges, and single-spaced. Please explain what you found that increased your knowledge about this particular type of parenting.
You should cite your references in a little reference list at the end of your brief essay. I am not a stickler on APA style but I am very seriously interested that you use quotation marks and write down your sources.
Please remember to use quotations if you copy something from a source.
Note: Over the decades of research on parenting, different scholars have used several different terms for parenting styles. Especially for permissive parenting, you may find a number of terms. Do not be concerned about that fact; if you need to, use a couple different terms (citing your sources) and point out they refer to the same thing.
Essay length: This brief essay could be one page, single-spaced, or two pages, double-spaced
