Document Summary
*sensitive, responsive, calm parenting is correlated with the secure attachment style. *temperament: a person"s characteristic style and intensity of emotional reactivity. *easy: about 30% of kids, easy going, a little upset but not really. *dif cult: 25% of kids, very temperamental, extremely reactive. Children are surprisingly resilient (i. e the holocaust), but severe prolonged deprivation or abuse may lead to . Parents impose rules because i said so and expect obedience. Parents submit to kid"s desires, not enforcing limits or standards for child behaviour. Parents enforce rules, limits and standards but also explain, discuss, listen and express respect for child"s ideas and wishes. Authoritative: self reliance, social competence, increased self esteem, decreased aggression. The next phase of that process is adolescence, this is the transition from childhood to adulthood: what about maturation during adolescence. Puberty is the time of sexual maturation (becoming physically able to reproduce). *primary (genitalia) and secondary (beards, boobs, etc) sex characteristics.
