Observing Parental Styles

Watch one full episode of one of the following family based television programs and then write an essay about the parenting skills demonstrated. The television show I picked is Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

The essay must be typed, double spaced, and at least 2 pages, but no more than 3 pages long. Points will be deducted for extra large marvins, too much blank space, or any other silly nonsense aimed at making your paper look longer tha. It actually is. Incorporate some of what we have learned in class about nature vs. Nuture in your essay.

1. Give a brief summary of what the family is doing during the episode. 

2. Describe anything you see the Parent(s) doing that you think is an example of good parenting, and tell why you think so.

3. Describe aanything you see the Parent(s) doing that you think is an example of not so good parenting and tell why you think so.

4. Describe how you might feel if your parenting skills and techniques were on national television and receiving criticism from viewers.

5. How do you think being on national television might affect the development of the children.
