Module One: Discussion Questions
1. Imagine your 16-year-old daughter wants to attend a Friday night high school party, and you do not know who will be attending. Using three parenting styles discussed in the lesson, how would an authoritarian parent respond? A democratic parent? A permissive parent?
*If my parenting style was authoritarian and my 16-year-old daughter wanted to attend a party, she would not be allowed to go because I don't know who will be at the party and I dont know if there will be alchol or drugs. My daughter would not argue back becuase these are my parental decisions and that is respect. Also, after I tell her no, she will not try and express the way she feels or express any type of opinion related to this party.…show more content… Then, I would ask some follow up questions like, do you really want to go? What time will you be home? Now that I have their opinion about the party, the final decision is up to me.
Lastly, if I was a permissive a parent, I would say yes without knowing any information about the party other than it's on a Friday night. I would say my daughter can go because I do not set any rules and she is free to make this decision by herself. Either way, if she asked or not she would still be attending this high school party.
