Create a virtual Child
Instruction: You are the parent. I assigned the (4) milestones, please follow the (4) milestones and the form below and create the child’s footprint of growth process. You are an Authoritative style parent. Please include different theories to teach your child.

Authoritative Style- They are both demanding and responsive. Their disciplinary methods are supportive, rather than punitive. They are more open to give and take with their children and make greater use of explanations (happy to tell you why). They are equally high in behavioral control as authoritarian parents. Can be democratic or balanced: have a lot of love and set high limits. They have a lot of structure.
Different Theories- Attachment Theory, Learning Theory, Sociocultural Theory, Evolutionary Development Theory, Constructivist Theory, Freud’s Theory of Psychosexual Development, Erikson’s Lifespan Theory of Development, Bioecological Theory of Development, Family Systems Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
