Imagine a parent went into the bathroom, and while he or she was in there, his/her two-year-old climbed out of the playpen, reached for the kitchen counter, and in the process of grabbing a cookie, knocked the cookie jar to the floor. 1. Choose one of the four parenting styles below and describe how that parenting style would handle this specific situation.
authoritative style
authoritarian style
permissive style
uninvolved style
2. How might the way in which this parent handled the situation affect the child’s development?
3. Finally, if this same parenting style were applied consistently throughout this child’s childhood, what type of attachment do you predict the child will form with his or her parent?

Like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
