Early Childhood Learning Activity

Learning Objective:

Analyze different theoretical approaches to the study of human development and propose practical applications supporting positive outcomes

Instructions:

Diana Baumrind is famous for creating a theory which includes four distinct parenting styles, each of which is assessed along two dimensions: demandingness (discipline and control) and responsiveness (warmth and support).

Please create an entry with a media example from pop culture, movies, or television shows that represent each of the parenting styles.  You should provide an image for each parenting style example along with a written explanation of who you selected to represent that parenting style and why they are a good example of that style in terms of their demandingness and responsiveness.

Please be sure to use, underline, and define any relevant terms.  (These are each worth 1.5 points.)

Additionally, please include one final paragraph that describes which example most resembles the parenting style to which you were exposed as a child, and provide examples from your life as to how your parent may have demonstrated that parenting style.  (2 Points)
