Essay Question #2: Every parent “parents” their children differently. However, most parents will fall between what is known as the four parenting styles of Diane Baumrind. These four parenting styles are passive, authoritarian, authoritative and disengaged. They are all based on the level of demand and responsiveness between parent and child interactions.

For example, African American children raised under authoritarian control may have more of a positive outcome due to the children’s need being raised within that culture. I think this might shape child outcomes by the fact that children who may have been raised with one type of parenting style that in one culture is considered to have more positive outcomes, such as authoritative, may not be considered to be as positive of an outcome in other
