Parenting Styles
Talk to a relative, friend, or co-worker concerning her or his beliefs on child rearing. Based on the description you are given, would you say the parenting style most closely matches the authoritarian, authoritative, or overly permissive styles you have studied in this unit? How so?

Using information from the textbook and from at least one scholarly article, describe how these styles might affect social, language, and cognitive development in a child.
