PSY311H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Parenting Styles, Slow Parenting, Tabula Rasa
Document Summary
Traditional theoretical/philosophical approaches as to why and how this takes place: the child is born complete and needs to be left alone to develop (child is active) Teaching skills associated with this style require a lot of discipline. Frontal lobe (for impulses) is very late developing. However, the child gets better and better regardless of how the parent treats the child: mutual adaptation between parent and child, where both play an active part. All of these provide some understanding and insight into how development works. Parental responsibility to socialize their children is elusive and ill defined: no clear rules about parenting and least trained for it. Parents responsibilities are rooted in society"s interest in the healthy socialization of children as citizens and workers. Most parents never come into contact with the law about such issues, but socialization failures can become a legal problem. Parents and school system usually agree about values: parents can have some role in the education process.
