As college campuses become flurries of activity, those of us who work for and with students have mixed feelings.
Although
with the exception of eating chocolate, or smothering a filet with steak sauce, perhaps everything has mixed feelings involved.
Kids have been pampered, ignored, abused, spoiled, or well-parented.
Guess which ones do well, and who does not?
Well, it is the kids from well-parented that do best, follwed by those from strict or even abusive homes-- but households high in permissiveness tend to produce children who have trouble in school.
See the volumes of research, such as that from Richard Steinberg, which i used in my graduate work.
Two continuums:
strictness/supervision/limits/rules
and warmth/openness/acceptance/discussion
If a parent is High in Both, that is the optimum situation.
Low in both is called NEGLECT. worst outcome.
I will post more academics (right here) here shortly with details.
In the meantime, students:
