[edit] POV

This article seems very POV, unencyclopedic, and a commercial for authoritative parenting. I don't oppose the concept of the article, just the way it's written. -208.115.227.179 (talk) 01:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree wholeheartedly. The passage "Authoritarian parents expect much of their child but do not explain the rules at all, unlike the Authoritative parent" certainly seems very biased. Liamoliver (talk) 11:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

POV-check: I added the warning. This article does seem to be against non-NPOV. Authoritative seems to have positive information, while the others have negative information. Limasbravo (talk) 12:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up & Referencing

I'm sure that some people reading this wouldn't understand the hard English that was on this page, therefore I have changed some words around, but they essentially mean the same. I have also referenced most of the page, except "outcome". Mapletip 13:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The Tufts University Child and Family WebGuide is a good parenting and discipline resource. http://www.cfw.tufts.edu/topic/2/27.htm

The WebGuide is a directory that evaluates, describes and provides links to hundreds of sites containing child development research and practical advice. The WebGuide, a not-for-profit resource, was based on parent and professional feedback, as well as support from such noted child development experts as David Elkind, Edward Zigler, and the late Fred Rogers. Topics cover all ages, from early child development through adolescence. The WebGuide selects sites that have the highest quality child development research and that are parent friendly.

The discipline page of this site includes articles containing extensive research and worthwhile advice on various forms of child discipline within the family and the classroom. Useful articles suggest ways to discipline a child, including forms of child discipline and safe measures for parents to take to control their children. Teamme 16:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up

The permissive parenting section really needs some work and citations —Preceding unsigned comment added by DatDoo (talkcontribs) 05:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
