I am going to talk about my personal parenting style and although I agree with a lot of the information in the book. I strongly feel because of each child's individual temperament, parents must discipline or utilize different parenting styles accordingly. My two boys are 7 � years apart but their attitudes are similar BUT I still cannot use the same parenting style because even after 7 years, the social construct is different and although I can use the same methods, their mentality is different because of what they have been exposed too during the different stages of age. I find myself having to explain more to my 7 year old now than I did to my 15 year old when he was that age. Sex, drugs and violence are more prevalent in our society today and my son sees things that need explaining. I am glad that I am an open minded person because I talk to my kids and I realize that there is a difference in how I would like for things to be compared to how things really are�we must educate our children and not be afraid to talk about the issues that they are faced with, primarily sex and drugs�as well as gangs. We are afraid of telling our children too much, when in fact, we are not telling them enough.
