child
Your good friends have just adopted a four-year-old child.
At this point, the only socialization decision they have made is that the child
is going to preschool. Imagine that you are an expert in your chosen field.
Your friends have come to you for advice and to devise a plan to raise their
child. They ask you to be frank with them and give them specific examples to
support your opinions. They are determined to raise this child to the best of
their ability. Since they are new parents, they need advice on everything!
The Final Paper should include the following: 1.Summarize
Bronfenbrenner's ecological model and describe why it is important for them to
be aware of this theory. 2.Suggest and explain a parenting style/philosophy
(authoritarian, authoritative, or permissive) that you believe will be most
beneficial for the child and the family. 3.Explain which childcare (nanny,
