Also, being raised with this parenting style, most children have positive social skills, excel in school, and have a good psychosocial wellbeing (CITE BOOK/POWERPOINT??). This is a good parenting style, in my opinion, because while it teaches children discipline, it also shows the child the difference between wrong and right, and why there is a difference. It also shows children how to love, due to the emotional warmth given to them by their parents. When the Andersen’s make the move from Minnesota, Riley is shown to be under a lot of stress because of the initial move, her father working long hours, her parents having small arguments, and the fact that the moving truck was suppose to come when they arrived, but had not shown up yet.
