Exosystem: links children to areas they normally would not have connections to (ex. ) parents work, mass media) Childhood is a social construct: before 1600"s - parental protection ends at age 7. Industrialized society = the beginning of the concept of childhood. Development: increasingly complex, logical sequence that changes one"s capacity to react to environment / increase survival. Baumrind: (parenting practices): all parenting styles are a balance of control and.

An authoritarian parent is strict to their rules.
