(HW 58) parenting 102

Part 3
I thought it would be interesting to talk to parents that have been parenting a long time,a short time or age wise young and old. I spoke to my mom about parenting skills and I already knew the outcome. My mom is all for the "pow pows".If you called her name or tapped her while she was talking she would give you the eyebrow and you knew that when you got home it was on. Yet, my mother was very loving and supportive of everything I did. But her way of parenting was discipline. Another person I interviewed was my friend who just recently had a baby. She said she wants to be the "cool" mom and let her kid experience it for himself but in reality i think it will be the opposite once the baby gets older. Most parents before having kids say what they want to be but when it gets to that point you switch your parenting skills.

Part 4
I really enjoyed this unit on parenting. I look forward to the day I get married and have kids. I just want to be the parent that goes on strolls in the park and take there kids to all there games,or practices. Because I grew up in a large family with tons of cousins and working with children in summer camps all my life I have grown a love for children. As for my insights on parenting, I know i am going to be just like my mother with her parenting skills. I am all for "pow pows" and teaching them and learning with them. Not to sound cocky but I think my mom installed and parented me right as to me knowing right from wrong. But since I'm 18 now my mom knows that all she can go is let me go and hope that I follow all i have been taught and do right.
