TWO DISCUSSIONS(Firm on price )

According to clinical assistant professor, Anita Gurian, there are four types of parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Parenting styles include the behaviors, actions, and spoken words of our primary caregivers. The different parenting styles impact and influence child development in a number of positive and negative ways. Parenting styles also impact how we view ourselves and the world around us, which in turn impacts our temperament (Gurian, n.d.). The relationship between child and parent is often impacted by the match or mismatch between parenting style and the temperament of the child (often referred to as “Goodness of Fit”) (Thomas & Chess, 1977).

Initial Post – Read the article Parenting styles/children’s temperaments: The match by Anita Gurian. Then, answer the following questions by writing at least one paragraph for each response.

Explain the specific impact parenting styles have on two issues related to child development. Examples include: obesity, resiliency, social-deviance, self-esteem, school performance, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence. Provide examples from at least one outside scholarly resource in addition to your textbook.

 
Discuss the match or mismatch between parenting styles and their child’s temperament.

 
How can we as professionals help close this gap? What can you do in your professional role to mediate the conflict?

Guided Response – Respond to at least two peers who provided different examples regarding the impact parenting styles have on child development. Respectfully state whether you agree or disagree with your peer about the relationship between parenting style and the presenting issue in the child (i.e. obesity). Be sure to support your stance.

Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you (including the instructor) before the last day of the learning week; this will further the conversation while also giving you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with this topic.

Next, use the Ashford University Library (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to locate a scholarly article on the topic that you have chosen. You will create a multimedia presentation using approximately eight- to ten-slides discussing how your topic impacts child development.  You are encouraged to use Prezi (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for your discussion. In the event that you have accessibility issues, please use PowerPoint (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.  You can view a basic PowerPoint tutorial here (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Link the presentation to your initial post.

The presentation is expected to include the following:

Title slide for the presentation (1 slide) 
Explain the topic/influence you have chosen (1 slide)
Discuss how the selected topic/influence impacts children physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively (4 slides)
Describe how the selected topic/influence is meaningful and relevant to you as a professional (1 slide)
Use the textbook and at least one additional scholarly resource that support your ideas. 
Make sure to cite the referenced sources in-text on each slide of content, as appropriate. For example, it is appropriate to cite on the slides any summaries, paraphrases, or quotes from sources you use in your presentation on the slide where the information appears.
Include a reference slide that contains all referenced sources within your presentation (1 slide)
