Question

• Parents can be classified as authoritarian, permissive, authoritative, or uninvolved. Explain how parenting styles influence social development.
• There are many varieties of early childhood education in the United States. Do you feel that parents should continue to have the freedom to choose whether their children should attend preschool and what types of preschools their children should attend? Or do you think the United States would benefit from a standard preschool policy that requires parents to enroll their children in accredited preschools?

Answer 1

Authoritative parenting has been associated with a stronger work orientation, greater engagement in school activities, more positive feelings about school, more time spent on homework, more positive academic self-concept, and lower levels of school misconduct
