It was believed that parents were directly and indirectly responsible for all aspects of their

teachers as well as institutions that influence development.
Parenting can be described in terms of general dimensions that hold across different situations.
These are... - Answer 1). The degree of warmth and responsiveness that a parent shows their
child.
2). Involves control:
a). Dictatorial: Controlling every aspect of a child's life
b). Little or no control: Children do whatever they want.
c). Intermediate: Best for child
Intermediate Control: - Answer When parents set reasonable standards for their children's
behavior, expect their children to meet those standards, and monitor their children's behavior.
Combining the dimensions of warmth and control produces the four prototypic styles of
parenting, which are... - Answer 1). Authoritarian parenting
2). Authoritative parenting
3). Permissive parenting
4). Uninvolved parenting
, Authoritarian Parenting - Answer Combines high control with little warmth. Hard work,
respect, and obedience are what authoritarian parents wish to cultivate. THIS STYLE IS
ILLUSTRATED BY TANYA'S MOTHER.
Authoritative Parenting - Answer Combines a fair degree of parental control with being
warm and responsive to children. Parents explain rules and encourage discussion. EXEMPLIFIED
BY SHELIA'S MOTHER.
Permissive Parenting - Answer Offers warmth and caring but little parental control. These
parents generally accept their children's behavior and punish them infrequently.
Uninvolved Parenting - Answer Provides neither warmth or control. Indifferent-uninvolved
parents provide only basic physical and emotional needs. They try to minimize the amount of
time spent with their children and avoid becoming emotionally involved with them.
Views about the proper amount of warmth and amount of control vary according to what? -
Answer Culture.
Direct instruction - Answer Involves telling a child what to do, when, and why. Instead of
shouting orders without giving an explanation as to why, direct instruction is a better approach.
Direct instruction and coaching (relating social and emotional skills) are particularly powerful
when paired with _______. - Answer Modeling. Urging children to act in a certain way is
more compelling when children also see others sharing.
Counterimitation - Answer Learning what should not be done. If an older sibling kicks a
friend and parents punish the older sibling, the younger child may learn not to kick others.
Reinforcement - Answer Any action that increases the likelihood of the response that it
follows. Parents can used reinforcement to encourage their children to complete tasks they
don't like.
Punishment - Answer Any action that discourages the recurrence of the response that it
follows.
Negative Reinforcement Trap - Answer Parents often unwittingly reinforce the very behaviors
they want to discourage. Occurs in three steps, most often between a mother and her son.
Three steps of Negative Reinforcement Trap - Answer 1). Mother tells son to do something
he doesn't want to do.
