assignment 8
For the most part my parents took an authoritative approach to raising my brothers and I. They gave us opportunities to become independent individuals (required it in fact), having us help prepare meals, do chores and take care of the animals at a young age. They had guidlines but were somewhat flexible depending on the situation. The allowed us to explain ourselves when we did wrong and based our punishment more off of each individual situation. They also encouraged us to find our own interests, whatever they might be and supported us in pretty much whatever activities we were intersted in.

I think it's best to do what your parents did with consistent punishing. My parents didn't start using a case by case basis until we were teenagers. Before that, you knew what the punishment was no matter what you did.
My parents raised me in a very similar manner. They most definitely encouraged me to become an independent individual. I have to respect any adult that allows their child to become who they want to be, instead of forcing them to become someone they are not.
i think a parent giving a child an animal to take care of builds character and teaches a kid about responsibility. I failed terribly at that.
