Subject: Parenting Styles

In this weeks readings, the mother's role on adolescent development is discussed. It's interesting that they point out how motherhood is not appreciated enough by society, and that money and achievement are considered more prestigious than motherhood. Furthermore, if an adolescent has bad behavior or turns out rebellious, mothers are wrongly blamed and viewed as the cause of their childs bad behavior. While parenting styles affect adolescent behavior, so many other factors also contribute to how a child behaves.

I've seen some families where the parents are authoritative and have all the skills associated with positive parenting (they have a balance between control and giving independence, they are loving and spend time teaching their child values...etc.) and yet their child is rebellious, deviant, and problematic. I wonder what influences this type of child to behave so negatively. It shows there are always exceptions in psychology!

Along this note, I have experience with people also stating that if a child has no father figure than this is the reason that they are acting out. I grew up in a single-parent household with no father and still went to college and became successful. Whether it is the mother or the father or both parents who raise a child, they do not get the recognition that they deserve for their effort. Some parents may be giving parenting and discipline their all but have children who continue to act out at school and at home. But how does one determine what factors cause a child to act out even with good parenting?
