PSY-357 – Human Development

Topic 3 – Parenting Styles and Family Influence

  1. Your toddler keeps taking away Lego bricks from their older siblings elaborate construction, the older sibling is becoming more upset as more Legos are taken away.

What would your action be as a parent? -As a parent, I would use authoritative parenting by giving the blocks back to the older sibling and tell the toddler nicely that “these legos are theirs, not yours” that way the toddler may understand that it doesn’t belong to them. Then I would get them more legos so that they understand to only use their legos. So in a way I am being understanding because the toddler made a mistake, but I am showing them what they did wrong and could’ve done it differently

How can family help to reinforce this behavior? -Family can help reinforce this by modeling good behavior because children have special brain cells called mirror neurons which allows children to reflect what they see so that they can imitate in the same way. So in order for children to have good behavior, essentially the siblings and parents have show that sharing is caring and it is the good to do, instead of stealing each other’s belongings. (Multiplying Connections)

  1. Your preschooler has started using swear words during normal conversations around the house.

What would your action be as a parent? -As a parent I would figure out how they were able to learn those words by asking them how do you know those words because by figuring out where it came from I would be able to fix it then. It is most likely the child might have heard it from either parents or siblings. I would also tell them that it is not nice to use those words because they are bad words. By letting them know those are bad words to say it would help them understand it’s not good to say.

How can family help to reinforce this behavior? -I think that family can help reinforce this behavior by watching what they say when they are around younger kids, because they will be listening to what everyone is saying. Instead of swearing, encouraging respectful language can be a way to teach them how to swear less or not at all. (Raising Children Network, 2021)

  1. You have left a store (grocery or Target type store) and realize your 4-year-old has taken a bag of candy without your knowledge and therefore it was not payed for.

What would your action be as a parent? -Personally, I would go back to the store and tell my child to give it back to the clerk or a manager and tell them nicely to apologize. Overreacting to the child will cause them to feel embarrassed and cry and they won’t understand the purpose of this learning experience. Something else I would do would be to give my kids money so that they can pay for it themselves, so they know how the system works. When you pay for it, you can have it and that is what I want to teach.

How can family help to reinforce this behavior? -Family can reinforce this behavior by maybe buying a store play set where there is fake money involved and food so not only can the child play with it by themselves, but parents and siblings can include themselves so they can set a good example for their children.
