Contrast proximal and distal parenting practices. What are the outcomes of each type? What might motivate parents to engage in one type over the other?
What will be an ideal response?
Proximal parenting differs from distal parenting in that proximal parenting involves
close body contact with the child while distal parenting focuses more on the intellect

parenting results in self-awareness and independence. Parents might be motivated
by cultural expectations and their perceptions of what their children need in order to
be successful in society.
