 PARENTING
 Parenting is the process of raising and educating a
child from birth until adulthood.
 There are two important dimensions in parenting
styles (Baumrind: 1991):
a. Demandingness : the amount or degree of
strictness and control exerted by parents against
children. It’s referred to as behavioral control.
b. Responsiveness : the frequency of interaction and
intimacy with children either positively or negatively.
It’s referred to as parental warmth and
supportiveness.
