  This is a repost from February 2006.

  
  

  We all learn through a variety of ways.  When it comes to our children we also obtain information through multiple sources such as:

  
  

  
  
  1. Family
     
  2. Society – TV, Magazines
     
  3. Culture
     
  4. Spiritual

  
  

  What is your style of parenting?

  
  

  
  
  1. Authoritarian – Traditional authoritarian – children obey
     
  2. Communication - No bad children, just bad communication
     
  3. Behavior Modification – Belief that children’s behavior can be influenced positively or negatively according to how parents structure their child’s environment.
     
  4. Attachment - Responsive parenting
