From the Paper
"The authoritarian style of parenting is associated with physical discipline such as spankings, beatings, and, or, slapping. ?Although physical punishments will remain part of parenting for some, it is not necessary in raising a child. And it can have harmful side effects. Physical punishment appears to be more for the convenience or needs of the parent than for the good of the child?. Children who grow up in an environment where violence is seen as acceptable tend to become violent."

Abstract
The phenomena of parents? involvement at their children?s schools has intensified over the recent years, and it seems that the tendency will increase in the future. The school principal, because of his role, training, and status, has to lead, determine, and guide the parental cooperation to the proper channels. His role is decisive regarding the quality of the dialogue with the parents. This research examines the connection between the principal?s managerial style and personality and his stands and policies regarding parental involvement, in general, and the desirable and actual parental involvement at his school. The research assumption is that principals who employ different managerial styles and possess different personality structures will relate differently to parental involvement. The principal who practices a considerate managerial style or has an extroverted personality will encourage parental involvement, while the task-oriented principal with a ?neurotic? or ?psychotic? personality structure will oppose parental involvement. In addition, the writer determines that the principal?s general attitude towards parental involvement will be more positive than his stand regarding the desired parental involvement in specific areas and the actual parental involvement at his school. The more positive the principal?s stand towards parental involvement in specific areas, the more involved are the parents. This paper also includes several tables.

From the Paper
"The phenomena of parental involvement in the Israeli educational system has intensified over the recent years, as is indicated by the daily newspapers, educational and social researches, and by the attempts of the educational institutions to guide the parental involvement into normative channels. One of the factors of the process consists of the meaningful changes in the educational system, the most notable of which is the tendency towards the school?s increasing autonomy. (Kamanda, 1985) The educational system was unable to successfully address the variety of educational needs in an increasingly pluralistic society, whose different sectors disagree about the purposes of education. The recognition of the disagreements led to the demand for the decentralization of the educational system. (Inbar, 1987) As the educational system became more decentralized the roles of the functionaries and their authorities had to be redefined, and increased parental involvement became possible."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The uninvolved parent is low in both demandingness and responsiveness. In extreme cases, this parenting style might encompass both neglecting and rejecting parents, which could be very damaging to the child, although most parents of this type fall within the normal range (Baumrind, 1991).Children whose parents are uninvolved are uninvolved tend to perform poorly in most domains of social competency, academic performance, psychosocial development and problem behavior.

Abstract
This paper explains that in the authoritative parenting style, which is considered the most positive parenting approach, parents' demand and responsiveness are high enabling a adolescent to have a sense of strong personal value, self-control and a feeling of security. The author points out that authoritarian parents have high demands, but low responses; they expect their adolescent to do as their told and not question them. The paper relates that permissive parenting, both low demand and low responsiveness, is the worst of the parenting styles because these parents don't set any limits or demands and are most of the time neglectful of their adolescent.
From the Paper
"This [Authoritarian] will make it very hard for an adolescent to establish any self-reliance or self control, since the parents are attempting to control the adolescent rather the backing their decisions.6 In turn this is doing the opposite of what the parent is wanting. It is teaching and encouraging aggression and bad behavior, and when taking to extremes is abusive. The adolescent will be prone to live in fear and be aggressive towards other. You are able to see this in the behavior of the adolescent as well as the grades, and interaction with peers. These adolescents are more drawn into drugs and violence then adolescents raised by authoritative parents. Adolescent raised in an authoritarian environment are also prone to not feel empathy for others, or for themselves. They will more likely then not carry on this behavior into adulthood due to the fact that they are unable to stop the behavior that was taught and encouraged at home."

Abstract
This paper analyzes various parenting styles - authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful and indulgent parenting. The paper describes the characteristics typical to each of these styles. The writer succeeds in proving, by reviewing several researches, that parenting styles do in fact make a difference on a child's life and on who she/he becomes.
From the Paper
"Does parenting matter in the field of education? Developmental psychologist John Borkowski, PhD says yes. Along with Borkowski, Sharon Ramey, PhD has edited a book entitled ?How do parents matter?? Ramey says, ?Parenting influences are much more than parents? desires to mold children. Can you make your child be who you want? Of course not.? Ramey also says it is preposterous to even ask the question, ?Do parents matter?? (Azar, 2000)
"Is there a way to parent children that is better than others? Diana Baumrind is a leading authority on parenting and she believes that parents should be neither punitive nor aloof. Baumrind believes that parents should develop rules for children while at the same time being portive and nurturant. (Santrock, 2001)
Four parenting styles that Baumrind says exist are authoritarian parenting, authoritative parenting, neglectful parenting, and indulgent parenting. (Santrock, 2001)"

Abstract
This paper discusses various parenting styles that can be adopted, and describes the four theories that were set out by Diana Baumrind, a clinical and developmental psychologist.
From the Paper
"Diana Baumrind, a clinical and developmental psychologist, developed four theories of parenting namely the authoritarian, permissive, authoritative, and neglectful parenting styles. In authoritarian parenting, parents are viewed as demanding and controlling but unresponsive. Authoritarian parents are also strict disciplinarians. They expect their children to follow them all the time. Blind obedience is given much emphasis. Failure to comply with the rules and regulations set by the authoritarian parents may entail a grave punishment from the martinets. Authoritarian parents use a punitive form of punishment in disciplining their children which may be in the form of physical or verbal abuse. They do not know how to show love and warmth to their children. As a result, children who grow up in this kind of controlling and hostile environment become socially incompetent or withdrawn. The authoritarian parenting has conservative views on parenting and discipline. It is parent-centered because only parents have a say when it comes to childrearing and discipline. The children themselves cannot voice out their own opinions or views."

Response
From the Paper
"The best outcome occurs with the application of the authoritative parenting style. This parenting style provides guidance without the excessive control demanded by the authoritarian parent. The authoritative parenting style relinquishes enough control over the child to permit the child to experience personal decision-making. However, it also contrasts with the permissive parenting style by providing enough guidance to enable the child to develop "appropriate morals and goals" (Bornstein & Bornstein, 2007, p. 2). A permissive parent, for example, might say that a child can go to his or her friend's house without first learning if the friend's parents will also be home. An authoritarian parent may deny the child permission regardless of any facts in the case. By contrast, the authoritarian parent uses both the facts and the child's needs as factors and may even include the child in the decision-making process."

From the Paper
" A parenting style is a pattern of behavior that influences child-rearing practices. Approaches vary based on several factors, ranging from how parents themselves were raised to the goals parents have for their children. The three most common parenting styles are authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative.
Parental discipline influences a child's social and emotional development. Parents are the primary educators and socialization agents of their children: "Studies have found that parental influence is a critical factor in the development of the child's self-esteem and in the child's academic achievement in school, and that parents often serve as a source of social support to the child and as role models for the child to imitate" (Beekman, 1989, p. 2). Children need to feel that they are.."

From the Paper
"According to Kim Selzman, writing in "Woman's Day", being a parent can be a joy but it's also a tough job. Nobody is perfect and every parent makes mistakes. Children require a lot of time and energy so being a good parent means that parents must take care of themselves physically. Selzman adds that everyone needs a break from being a parent once in a while. If someone is a single parent they can and should find friends or relatives to help them get some time for..."

Good Parenting, 2005.
This paper discusses that, although there are numerous resources available, being a parent can be an overwhelming experience, most often leaving parents wondering if their parenting skills are good enough.

Abstract
This paper explains that some experts believe that today's parents are stifling their children with constant worrying and supervision and are denying children learning opportunities for risk-assessment and challenge needed to develop self-confidence. The author points out that confidence is the key to child-rearing. The paper relates that parents are often quick to judge a child's actions or choice of words and neglect to see that at times they are actually cries for love, attention or help; therefore, it is important to acknowledge a child's feelings and opinions and try to understand a situation from their point of view.
From the Paper
"A good parent is constantly worrying about their children because there seems to be infinite dangers lurking everywhere. Should a parent vaccinate or not vaccinate, should one parent be a stay-at-home parent or should both parents work outside the home? There is such a myriad of advice available and much of it conflicting over everything from potty training and playing, reading and sleeping, to socializing and eating, it is difficult and frustrating to know whom to believe and trust. Then there are the everyday hazards, such as pedophiles, child kidnappers, rapists, poisonous plastics, choking hazards, sudden death syndrome, chemical contamination of food, and child equipment recalls. It is enough to make any parent paranoid, guilt wracked, angst-ridden, and lose many nights of sleep due to a fear-filled mind."

Abstract
This paper reports that the study offers limited value due to the number of participants (n=12), no reliability or validity of the self-administered questionnaires, and participants had to be able to read and write English; nonetheless, a questionnaire is included so that a study with a large sample can yield more valid results, and other social workers can adapt the study to their own needs. The author points out that parenting programs can be effective, but some people believe that parenting programs are most effective as preventive measures. The paper suggests parenting programs need to be tailored to the specific population it is intended to serve. Table and graphs.

Abstract
This paper uses research reports of varying quality to explore the arguments for and against gay parenting, which is a frequent subject in the U.S. courts. The author points out the positive arguments for gay parenting are: (1) Gay parents have superior parenting skills compared to heterosexual couples, (2) children of gay parents have healthier traits and qualities compared to children raised by heterosexual couples, and (3) gay couples have just as much right to care for children as any heterosexual couples do. The paper relates that the arguments against gay parenting are: (1) Children raised by gay couples will have sexual identity problems later on in life, (2) they are confined in an unstable household, and (3) they are at risk to being exposed to a dangerous diseases, such as AIDS.
From the Paper

It had not been the first time Amy had ever met a homosexual, and she explained how she felt gay couples should not be allowed to care for children. Ryan on the other hand, disagrees with his girlfriend, because he believes that gay couples should be allowed to care for children. As they drive down the highway, the discussion grows into a debate, with both discussing their points of view in a friendly dispute."

Abstract
The controversy over negative campaign advertising amongst political opponents has been the source of much debate in the past few years. The 2002 American congressional election proved to be no exception to the use of negative ads. This paper provides information concerning the issue of negative campaign ads. It explores the statistical data available about the subject and the effects that negative ads have on the voting public. In addition provides information concerning the impact of negative campaign ads on candidates and political parties.
From the Paper
"In another election featuring Myrth York as the democratic candidate for Governor and Don Carciri as the Republican Candidate negative ads also played a role in the loss of the election. By all accounts York was ahead in the polls but her negative attacks against he opponent proved to be her undoing. This was the second time that she had run foe office and in her pervious attempt she had also lost because of negative campaigning. In the most recent instance the ads that she promoted rubbed constituents the wrong way and proved to be unfounded. This is yet another case of a candidate crossing the line and engaging in negative campaign."
