Document Summary
Each baby has different needs to which parents respond. Infants may accidentally initiate many of the parental gestures that form the basics of their relationship. Children are co-producers of their own development: they help their parents teach them the ways of behaving and thinking that are acceptable within their status group and in society. Authoritarian parenting: parental control, restriction, and sometimes coercion, not effective because it is not socially constructed as suitable culturally, some authoritarian parents are inconsistent, arbitrary, and erratic. No-nonsense parenting: falls in the middle between authoritative and authoritarian parenting, most common in african-canadian, african-american, caribbean families, higher on control but also more involved in warmth and nurturance, represents a functional adaptation to the authoritarian style. Do not pay attention to them at all and do not fulfill the socialization function. Wavering-negotiating: do not guide their children, or make demands of them, they consult with their children about every step, even if the child is small.
