Time spent on homework) Family relationships (eg. Treatment of younger sibs) Values & morals (eg. Music they listen to) (p. 301, Parrott, p131 Steinberg)

- 10. Why arguments get started The Marriage: unstable The Minors: differences The Missing: communication skills The Mission: can you be trusted Too Much: unrealistic expectations Not Enough: Consistent rules and roles (adapted from pp. 302-303, Parrott)
- 11. The Well-Behaved Parent In each set of four statements, circle which one or two statements best describe you: I place a high value on helping my child(ren) to develop an autonomous lifestyle. I place a high value on conformity to following my rules in my home. I place a high value on my child’s happiness above many other things. I place a high value on making my home mostly about me and my happiness.
- 12. The Well-Behaved Parent I assume the ultimate responsibility for my child’s behavior. I favor absolutes and forceful disciplinary measures with my child(ren). I seek to not control my children leaving many decisions up to them. The more my kids can take care of themselves and stay out my way the better.
- 13. The Well-Behaved Parent I have high expectations of my children and place high expectations on them. It is important that my children do exactly what I tell them to do without question. I have few demands on my kids and give them a high degree of freedom. I have little interest in what my kids are doing or where they are.
- 14. The Well-Behaved Parent I explain the reasons behind why I want my kids to do what I ask them and invite their interaction. I want to know what my kids are doing all the time and so they need to ask me before they do anything. I don’t want to interfere with my child’s development so I allow them make many decisions on their own. I don’t really talk to my children about much of anything or ask their opinions.

- 37. TOP TEN COUNTDOWN TO A NEW KID BY FRIDAY 10. Be 100 percent consistent in your behavior. 9. Always follow through on what you will say you will do. 8. Respond, don’t react. 7. Count to 10 and ask yourself, “What would my old self do in this situation? What should the new me do?” 6. Never threaten your kids. 5. Never get angry. (When you do get angry apologize quickly.) 4. Don’t give any warnings. (If you want to warn your child, you’re saying, “You’re stupid, I have to tell you twice.”) 3. Ask yourself, “Whose problem is this?” (Don’t own what isn’t yours.) 2. Don’t think the misbehavior will go away. 1. Keep a happy face on, even when you want to…do something else (p289, Lehman).

- Four Styles of Parenting (p. 139, Steinberg)Well-Behaved Parents: High on responding and expectations. These parents seek to balance the roles of requiring their kids to have responsibilities while also being there for them. These kids will develop a better sense of self, can share their opinions while feeling completely loved.Sergeant Parents: Low on responding and high on expectations. These parents, while being there for their kids, also demand that their kids do what they say. These kids will have a low sense of individuality and self. Candy Parents: High on responding and low on expectations. These parents are generally passive, and cater to what makes their kids happy. See themselves as a resource for helping their child get through life.Non-Parents: Low on responding and low on expectations. Life in the home is all about what makes the parent happy. So the less they have to be tied up with the kids the better. No responsibility means why have any expectations. This type of parent does not raise their kids “according to a set of beliefs about what is good for the child’s development (as do the other three parent types)” but are “parent-centered” (p. 139).Steinberg, Laurence.
