Child and Adolescent Development

Research a scholarly journal article on parenting (an article within the last 10 years). Provide a summary of that article. Use the information that you found and what you learned from your course readings thus far and provide a response for the following.

• Parents can be classified as authoritarian, permissive, authoritative, or uninvolved. Explain how parenting styles influence social development.
• There are many varieties of early childhood education in the United States. Do you feel that parents should continue to have the freedom to choose whether their children should attend preschool and what types of preschools their children should attend? Or do you think the United States would benefit from a standard preschool policy that requires parents to enroll their children in accredited preschools?
