The textbook highlights four distinct styles of parenting: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Conduct an Internet search to broaden your understanding of these styles. Write a short essay (500-750 words) in which you: First, define each style. Then, explore each style's effect on the socioemotional development of a 10-year-old child.

Authoritarian = you deny the child any saying or rights.

Authoritative = you make clear to the child that your opinion overrules.

Permissive = you work on a more democratic level with your child.

Uninvolved = you leave everything up to the child.

Explanation:

Authoritarian parenting is, hopefully, outdated because it doesn´t educate the child in any way and leaves it in a submissive role.

Authoritative parenting leaves more freedom for the child to express his/her opinion, but it probably leads to the child feeling not being taken serious.

Permissive parenting is democratic and it shows the child that she/he is equally treated and in no way inferior to the adult. This has, however, also some possible negative side-effects, because it can lead a child to do whatever it feels like to do.

Uninvolved parenting is very practical because it saves the parents of a lot of work. Nevertheless, it leads to children who are not corrected in any way and therefore end up in society, in general, as conflictive persons.  

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
