Good parenting and good teaching have something in common. They both aim for loving our children well. Is that a walk in the park all the time? Of course not. If it were, we wouldn't need courses like this to help us through. The questions you now need to ask yourself are:

• What type of parent or teacher would you want to be?
• How would you best communicate?
• How would you discipline?

Part A

Identify a television show or movie for each of the following:

• one that depicts an authoritarian style of parenting
• one that depicts an authoritative style of parenting
• one that depicts a permissive style of parenting

Explain the effect that each of the three styles has on the children in the show.

Part B

Select one (1) of the communication topics from Chapter 7 (effective communication, reflective listening, problem solving, etc.). Create a parent-friendly flyer describing at least two (2) ways that parents might use your selected communication strategy with young children.

Part C

For the scenario below, determine which type of related consequence is most appropriate. Provide two (2) supporting facts to justify your answer, citing your sources.

Scenario: Basilo was pretending to cook dinner in the house area when Salena grabbed a plate away from him and said, "Boys don't cook." Basilo replied, "Yes, they do. My daddy cooks!" as he grabbed onto the plate. The children continued their tug-of-war until you intervened.

Let's say you have been reflecting on your first few weeks as a preschool teacher. You often find yourself asking yourself things like, "Is this child just grumpy, or is there something more going on?" "Why aren't the children cooperating?" "How can I manage this negative behavior that is occurring? Is there something more I can do?" With that in mind, consider the scenarios in Part A and Part B.

Part A

Three-year-old Tommy is crying and upset because he can't draw a truck like Sam's.

For this scenario

• Determine the cause of the behavior. Provide one (1) supporting fact to justify your answer, citing your source.
• Develop a guidance approach that you might use to address the cause of the behavior. Provide one (1) supporting fact to justify your approach, citing your source.

Part B

The block area is a popular area within the classroom. By the time clean-up arrives, nearly every block is on the floor. As clean-up is announced, children move to other areas, refusing to assist in clean-up of blocks.

For this scenario, describe

• two (2) possible causes
• two (2) possible guidance strategies. Justify your strategies.
