The purpose of this activity is to provide you with a chance to explore Baumrind's four original parenting styles:

• Authoritative
• Authoritarian
• Neglectful
• indulgent

Please identify three different parents each with a different parenting style. These can be people whom you know or they can be fictitious parents from a TV show or movie. If you are using parents from a TV show or movie you should watch an episode of the show or the movie.

For all three of your parents you need to:

• Provide specific examples to justify their parenting style classification.
• Discuss the positive and/or negatives associated with each observed style.
• Discuss the typical child outcome for each observed style.
• Identify the behaviors exhibited by children of these parents.
• Discuss whether or not they match the parenting-style/child outcome connections described in the text.
