Real Life Assignment Analysis

I already knew the difficulty in raising a child, it is not an easy task at all because how your raise your child affects how the child is going to be as an adult. Your choices matter and weigh very heavy when raising a child and its not as simple as making a choice or picking an answer, you have to consider in the long run how it will affect the future. However I still gained a lot of knowledge and sort of experience from this course and completeing each assignment raising my child which I named Hunter. What I really liked about this assignment were the real life situations that were thrown at me each week like my partner losing their job, getting a divorse or having second child, all made each choice harder and requiring me to think about my choice choosing which option I think would be best due to my knowledge.

I think that most instinces was more about what kind of parent you wanted to be like an authoritive, permissive, neglectful or authoritarian.

Authoritative parenting is the style I believe to be the best and more effective. As a kid I took care of my younger cousins most of the time and basically raised them. After taking this course I realized some mistakes Ive made due to not thinking far into the future and going the easy route. Even though this was a virtual baby I still took serious to I would gain more knowledge so when I do have a real child I can look back at this experience and make better choices for him or
