Parenting Academic Essay

The paper consists of three essay questions worth ten points each. Please write careful, thoughtful, and complete answers, remembering to answer each part of each question. APA format, single-spaced. You may write a little more than the guidelines, but not many pages more. Please be sure to define terms you use from our course, and if it is important, please also provide an example from your experience or an example you invent to explain the concepts in this course. These questions will be graded very stringently, so please write careful and complete answers and define your terms when it is necessary.

Please use as few quotations as possible. It usually is possible to say the same thing in your own words. When you use material from our textbook, please cite that at the end of the sentence before the period (Jones, 2015). If you directly quote something (only a short quotation, please!) please put the quoted material into quotation marks and put a citation and page number at the end of the sentence before the period (Jones, 2015, p. 28). Please provide a small, informal reference list at the end of your paper. Please remember that when you copy from a source you must use quotation marks and you must place a citation at the end of the sentence. If you do not, you are committing plagiarism.

The questions:

Question 1: (5 points, one paragraph, approximately one third of a page, single-spaced). What is “serve and return” and why does it matter?

Question 2: (8 points, one half page single-spaced). Please carefully read this essay by a classmate a few terms ago, then define and discuss the types of parenting shown in the essay. Please discuss reasons why those styles of parenting achieved the results they did. What would you recommend to this classmate as a style of parenting to use today with his own children and why?

Question 3: (12 points, one and a half pages single-spaced.) What are the special needs of adolescents and, importantly, what do those imply about your parenting? Hint: This question focuses on all the Week Six readings for this course. You do not need any other materials.

Is this question part of your assignment?
