Document Summary
We do not ascribe parenting tactics according to personality, but rather, would take into context social contexts and wider discourses. There have been changes in the practices of parenting over time, particularly if we take into account nuclear family households. How we parent are influenced by wider discursive ideas. There is almost always morality attached to it: what constitutes good and bad mothering and fathering: cultural background: different race and ethnicity of which people experience over time: Adult parents and their children, especially if children develop their life in canada, will experience tension and conflicts. Research has shown that it is culturally normative for adult children to provide care for their adult parents. Sociologists of the family have observed that there does seem to be change in how fathers go about looking after children. This is particularly in contrast to the families in the 1950s: rutherdale"s text. Expectations and practices of fathering have changed since those circulating in the 1950s.
