assignment 8

My parents used the authoritative approach when raising me. Their were plenty of rules that my parents held up to. However, if I were to break a rule, my parents would listen to my explanation before punishing me. I grew up hearing the statement, "Two wrongs don't make a right." Chores were common in my household. I was expected to take care of my cats, keep my room clean, do dishes, vaccum, etc. I believe these chores helped me to become a more responsible and organized person. My parents always encouraged me to be who I wanted to be. They never shot down my dreams, but instead told me to always reach for the sky. The way that my parents raised me has effected who I am as a person. I am more open-minded because they were open-minded. I have also learned to think before I take any actions, or say something that I would regret. I respect the way that my parents chose to raise me and I know that when I become a parent some day, I will raise my children in the same way.
