Assignment 8

During my upbringing my mother and step father used a Authoritative approach. They had their rules and expectations I was to follow which I believe is what I needed. My parents always had rules, chores etc. for me to follow and were demanding of me. But they were flexible and all I had to do was come and talk to them if I wanted or needed something. We had a very open relationship which was good because I was very close to them but still knew my boundaries. My father on the other hand was more Permissive indulgent I had no boundaries and since he only seen me every other weekend I didn’t have any expectations of his to meet. I had a balance of both. I believe my mothers authoritative approach had a bigger effect on me because I like to have structure and goals for myself which she taught me.
