Essay 1:

Describe and analyze the four different parenting styles outlined by Baumrind which was covered in the text and recorded lecture. Share as much as you can from the class material about the outcomes of children parented in these different styles. To the extent that you are comfortable, analyze your parents' styles of parenting (sometimes each parent has an entirely different style) and discuss what affect that has had on your adult functioning. Explain your thinking about what style you would like to practice when and if you become a parent yourself.

Essay 2:

Referencing material from the text and the Discipline video, explain what discipline is and what it means to practice "proactive" discipline.  Go to the website shared for this week (titled "Corporal Punishment Empirical Studies") and read through the titles of some of the material about spanking.  Open and glance through (reading parts that interest you) three of the items on the site.  Share some of the details you discovered there and then put forward your thoughts about spanking as a part of a parent's interaction with his or her child.  Analyze how that ties in with your original analysis of discipline.  When responding to other students, be sure to share from information you are learning from the text and website materials, not just your opinion.  Also, remember to be respectful of others' opinions.
