Describe how marital relationships, a child's age, and a child's temperament all contribute to the manner in which a parent "parents" a child
What will be an ideal response?
Marital conflict often spills over into the parent-child relationship because parents may adopt a similar conflictual style when parenting their children. When parents invest time and energy fighting with each other, they're often too tired or too preoccupied to invest themselves in high quality parenting. Parenting changes as children grow in two areas: warmth and control. Parents become less warm or affectionate and relinquish control as their children age. A child's temperament can have a powerful effect on parental behavior. Children's behavior helps determine how parents treat them, and the resulting parental behavior influences children's behavior, which in turn causes parents to change their behavior again.
