My Role Model For My Mother

Decent Essays
Throughout my eighteen years of life, I was lucky enough to have two parents raise me under the same roof. But the parent who took the most action in raising me was my mother. My father was there also, but he spent the majority of the days working, so I would barely see him when I was younger.

This will help and better their responsibility level. For responsiveness, I would also take part in the authoritative style. I chose this style because I believe the others types of styles are not for me. I believe that authoritarian and uninvolved are too harsh for me. Permissive is too sensitive in my opinion, I want my child to build character. I will always be there for my child, and want to support them through anything. If my child is in need of help for an assignment, and I am able to help them, I will. Another point is I will always try to know how my child is feeling and if I am able to give them advice or
