Parenting styles
o Authoritarian: parent control their child’s behavior through unquestioned rules and expectations
o Permissive: parent has little control over the child’s behavior and they actually consult te child when making
decisions
o Authoritative: parent sets some rules but will explain the reason behind the rules and enforce the rules (best)
o Passive: parent is uninvolved and indifferent to the child’s behavior, doing their own thing
Piaget (cognitive development)
o Sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years)
Goal: achieve object permanence (happens around nine months)
o Preoperational stage (2 years to 7 years)
Goal: symbolic thought
o Concrete operational (7 to 11 years)

centered)
o Formal operational (11 years through adulthood)
Goal: grasp abstract concepts
Erikson (psychosocial development)
o Trust versus mistrust (infancy, birth to 18 months)
