Mom Confessions
You learned in your readings that parenting practices and techniques used to shape child development are influenced by many factors including culture, socioeconomic status, non-normative life events, and cohort effects. To understand cohort effects, consider that the experiences of a child growing up in the 1940s are different in many ways from a child growing up today. Read the article: Kotchick, B.A. & Forehand, R. (2002). Putting parenting in perspective: A discussion of the contextual factors that shape parenting practices. Journal of Child and Family Studies, 11(3), 255-269. Synthesize what you learned in your readings as well as the above article to address the following:
Present the chart or table and your comments in a 3-page paper in Word format. Be sure to include introductory and concluding paragraphs in your paper, and an APA style reference page. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document name should be SmithJ_M1_A3.doc. By Sunday, June 16, 2013, deliver your assignment to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox.

What are parenting practices?
-
what parents do to raise their children. spanking, grounding, positive rewards, guidelines about mealtime and eating healthy foods, educational standards, religious indoctrination, requiring extracurricular activities, etc.
for example, the parenting style of generations past was more geared toward the "spare the rod, spoil the child" school of thought, and their practices reflect that with more discipline, and more strictness.

So, what does that mean? I mean I always thought that meant no spanking or anything, does it actually mean you spank?

Is your SN shorthand for fistysexofthebutt? -
They want you to compare parenting practices such spanking/not spanking, church involvement, education choices (public/private/homeschool) in your way.
They want you to take these examples from your way; what do you do vs. your parents vs. your grandparents, etc.
Short example: my grandparents didn't use time-out, my parents didn't use time-out as a consequence/punishment, but dh and I do.
They want any write-ups in APA style (www.apastyle.org).
Hope that helps. -
It does! Thank you so much! I've been trying to work on this for a week and I just couldn't understand what they meant by it. I feel slightly stupid lol.

Parenting practices = chouces parents make on what to do with their kids.
Your choice is your practice. -
The choices you make as a parent. . . Every choice one makes from conception to birth and on is a parenting choice. Therefore it is a practice. Parenting takes practice. One doesn't just become pregnant or contribute to a pregnanacy and simply become a parent. Essentially, the steps one takes in raising the child is a practice. . .
