child, might cope differently with one of the changes listed in the table in appendix F.

This is what I have so far. Just wanted your opinion to see if I am on the right track and maybe you could possibly help me a bit. Thanks

Going into young adulthood can be a very challenging step in ones life. The parenting style that your parents inflicted can make it easier or perhaps even worse.

Someone who's parents were Authoritative would have the up most respect and confidence. They would be very reliable and responsible. These young adults would be the most mature of the three parenting styles. They would cope very well with the changes taking place in their lives. A very big contributing factor to them coping well is that they have developed great communication skills. By this point in their life they know that if they need help or simply someone to confide in their parents would be there for them.

A person raised by an Authoritarian parent wants everything to be all about them. Their parents did not communicate well with them, or hardly listened to them. Naturally, for once in their life they want things to be all about them. Their relationships would be strained because of this and because they are only used to everything being forced upon them. If someone, like a spouse, is not doing something they want they will find a way to make them.Their parents never respected them, so they are not likely to respect anyone else. They might have issues coping with life's changes, because they will tend to keep their problems inside, not knowing how to reach out and communicate with someone else.

A person raised by a permissive parent are not likely to have respect for any kind of authority. At this point in their lives they have already strongly rebelled, and could possbily be into drugs. They have very poor communication skills and have little if any respect for other people.They are so used to doing what they want, they will not listen to anyone. Life's changes will make these people very uneasy. They may not know how to deal with everything that is being thrown at them, which could lead to a life of drug abuse. Anything they can use to cope with what is going on they will try.

Answer 1

Which change in appendix F are you discussing?

Answer 2

Sorry forgot to add that! The change into young adult hood..its kinda in the middle appendix F goes straight from young adult hood to middle adult hood..so this is like a person in the 20s.

Answer 3

I'm uncomfortable about such broad generalizations.

Children of authoritative parents may rebel or they may be as straight as their parents. Children of permissive parents may be spoiled and believe the world revolves around them -- or they might rebel and become more authoritative. Certainly, most children of permissive parents do not get into drugs.

On what facts are you basing your descriptions?

Answer 4

I also see major discrepancies between your two paragraphs about authoritative parents. Do they or do they not communicate well?

Answer 5

Ms. Sue is not discriminating between authoritative parents and authoritarian parents. The overly obedient, authoritarian or rebellious behavioral styles are more likely to apply to the latter. (Effective parenting is also called authoritative, which typically provides firm and consistent guidance along with love and affection.)

You seem to be confusing permissive with overly permissive methods of parenting. For more information on discipline styles and communication methods, see:

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

Answer 6

I'm not understanding Appendix F. It says describe how three adults, each brought up under a different parenting style as a child might cope differently with one of the changes listed in the table in appendix f. What changes are we talking about, are we talking about pick stage development,pysical development, cognitive development,social development/personality I'm very confused
