Growing up to fast?

These articles on kids getting into things at a younger and younger age every year is astonishing. But I could tell this was going on, it’s very noticeable. Face book is the easiest way of telling that kids of a younger age are getting into older things. I know my cousins who aren’t in high school yet have them. But you can’t blame parenting styles on this. It may be frowned upon because of all the dangers that could come out of having a face book at such a young age. It’s that kids are growing up faster, even if you raise your child the way you want, you’re not the only one that is having an affect on your kids personality. Parents obviously have a strong influence, but the media and all the new social cliques have a strong affect. The article talked about being an authoritarian parent, authoritative parent, a permissive parent and an uninvolved parent. These will obviously all have different the Authoritarian parenting styles may lead to children who are obedient but they rank lower in happiness, social competence and self-esteem. An Authoritive parenting tends to result in children who are happy, capable and successful. Permissive parenting ranked low in happiness and self-regulation. Uninvolved parenting ranked the lowest out of all of these. So even though kids may hate that there parents are too strict on some things it may help them in the long run. They will have a proper personality that people will like and respect. While the uninvolved parenting technique lead to unhappiness, even though they may have had little or no rules as a child and had a lot of freedom. So while a lot of kids would want a lot more freedom it’s our parents that stayed on us when we didn’t want to do some thing that in the end helped us.
