4-2 Journal 2 With the importance of the developmental trajectories of parent and child needing to intertwine well, planning, and discussing family-related changes and tasks is vital (J. Santrock, n.d.). For the unexpected times, being open and honest goes a long way. It is also important for every member of a family to know and feel comfortable in their identity, and their obligation to the family, and have strong family cohesion (Tsai et al., 2012). When it comes to raising a child from 10 to 14 years old, being present, understanding, honest, educating, and remaining supportive while staying calm is most important. This is the time when peer relationships become more meaningful, some start to date, some begin puberty, and some have their first heartbreak. All of these things can alter a child's mindset and affect every part of their life during those times. That is where the parent/guardian needs to be aware and help them to navigate those times without being overbearing. My parenting perspective relates to my own experience by learning what to do, and not to do for the most part. My parent's style was more uninvolved. They were unhappily together until the kids were out of school, for the most part. Specific relevant connections I can make are based on that and course material, I see that I have a mixed parenting style. Things are a little different due to me being the full caretaker of my children and playing both roles of mom and dad. There are times when I am authoritative, times I am permissive, and even times of attachment. I change as they change. I have stayed single and will not be with anyone if I am not happy. I am not an uninvolved parent in any type of way. I tell my children that they always need to remember to put themselves first. Without taking care of their well-being, they can end up struggling more than they need. I learned from my parents that style did not work, and I hope my children learn from mine.
