Analyze- What is the difference between authoritarian and authoritative parenting?

-Authoritative parenting is a parenting style that utilizes respect and expectations to hold children accountable. In an authoritative style home the child is supported and encouraged to do things on their own and make smart decisions for the long term. The parents in this style give a lot of decision making power to the children as they work together to move toward the future. These parents must be consistent and show patience throughout the learning process.

-Authoritarian parenting is a parenting style that is more behaviorist in character. It seems to be rather cause/effect and has the parent expecting total compliance and obedience. This style of parenting utilizes a lot of pressure internally to succeed and externally from the families expectations. This is a popular parenting style in many non-western cultures

Apply- Apply a tactic to combat the emergence of a subculture in your classroom.

I think a good way to avoid a negative subculture in my classroom is to constantly change the dynamic of the classroom. I want to keep my students on their toes and active in the classroom. I do not want them to be uncomfortable but a good bit of change is very good for growth and development. My hope is that by constantly shifting things around and giving students different roles I can keep more students engaged. I want to create an atmosphere that is open to all and avoids alienating others. In my classroom I want everyone to be as equal as possible and all work together towards a better education. The power of positive thinking.
