Follow up on Thursday Nov 10th in class discussion

Do parenting skills have a major effect on the way their kids will behave throughtout their life and how successful they may become? Adriana's group presented this topic to the class last thursday and I was very thankful for the knowledge I obtained from that experience. I never knew that there were four parenting styles to follow and the success or failures of those customs. The most strict style of parenting is called, Authoritarian Parenting, which the parents set out rules that are expected to be followed. For example a rule that parents may lay out is, do good in school or they expect their child to clean up their room etc. Uninvolved Parenting is the worst way to raise your kids. Basically this style of parenting is like the parents arnt even there. They dont care what their child does or how successful they are and dont get involved in their life.
I also enjoyed the way this group presented their data to us. When other groups just read off their statistics to the class, it became very repeatative and boring just sitting there and listening to the stats. I like how Adriana's group got the class involved by asking us what we think the percentages would be and they sort of made a small game out of it. Even something as simple as that to get us involved is good when dealing with an assignment like this. Overall I think they're presentation was pretty good, we discussed alot and had a few laughs, which always brighten up the mood. As a class, I think we got off topic a bit when discussing social networking which took some time from their presentation but overall there was nothing bad about their presentation and I enjoyed being a part of it.
