Document Summary
Family social system: the complex network of relationships, interactions, and patterns of influence that characterizes a family with three or more members. Families are developing systems: each member of a family is a developing individual. Blended, or reconstituted, families: new families resulting from cohabitation or remarriage that include a parent, one or more children, and step-relations. Authoritarian parenting: a restrictive pattern of parenting in which adults set many rules for their children, expect strict obedience, and rely on power rather than reason to elicit compliance. Authoritative parenting: flexible, democratic style of parenting in which warm, accepting parents provide guidance and control while allowing the child some say in deciding how best to meet challenges and obligations. Permissive parenting: a pattern of parenting in which otherwise accepting adults make few demands of their children and rarely attempt to control their behaviour.
