There are six paragraphs I need your opinion on each one do you agree or do you disagree


1.

My wife and I use two different types of parenting styles. I am more of the authoritative and she is more of the authoritarian. I am firm with the rules but I find it hard for myself to punish them for their behavior. I try to have them pick how they should be punished My wife sets the rule and she almost demands that the kids listen or they will be punished for what they do. They listen to both of us but, they tend to go straight to her for answers. I feel it is so they know what is expected so they don't get in trouble. She lays the rule out very clear and they know to not try to bend those rules.

The two parenting styles I picked are Authoritarian and the Uninvolved. I have witness both types of parenting styles through friends and family. The Authoritarian can be to extreme not allowing the adolescent to be a adolescent and make mistakes. It is the parents' way only without knowing why or even being able to have a conversation about what they did. On the positive side, the adolescent can grow up to think before they make decisions. On the negative side, "studies show they may also become good liars, as they may grow conditioned to lie to avoid punishment" (www.verywell.com). The Uninvolved parenting style leaves the adolescent to fin for themselves. Often times there are no rules in the household. The adolescents have to figure out from themselves what is right or wrong, and learn from their mistakes. The parental traits that are important for a parent to have is a relationship with their adolescent, to be loving, to get involved in what is going on in their lives, to set rules, and to support their adolescent.

I am for providing teens with easy access to any form of birth control. I think if a teen is given a choice to chose the best one for themselves they are more like to use it. After reading that you United States is leading the world in teen pregnancies I think something needs to change. Teen pregnancies have a lot of adverse effects on teens. they may drop out of school for one. if they never go back to further their education then they become a burden to society. all teens need to be taught the dangers of STD's and how to prevent them. I feel that this education needs to start at home and continue on at school. Hall, and Hall State that the United State ranks first in all of the developed nations in teen pregnancies and STD's. This is why it is important in teaching teens the effect of having sex without the proper protection.

I do not feel that adolescents should be having sex. However, they are and some of them are suffering the consequences because they were not properly educated on the subject of sex, condoms, and birth control. With that being stated, I am for the school system providing sexual education, condoms, and birth control. "For young people who will not remain sexually abstinent, families, health care providers, schools, and other influential societal institutions should promote the correct and continued use of condoms as essential protection against sexually transmitted diseases and human immunodeficiency virus infection" (Everett et al., 2000).

Operant conditioning is learning based on the consequences of responding (Coon & Mitteter, 2016). This is the type of associative learning the trainer used to engage and train the sea lion. At one point I would have said that it could indeed be both because the training evolved repetitions, but after re-reading the scenario I realized that consequence was the reinforcement which was given after the expected behavior not before, an in addition to that, he was also rewarded for complying with the trainer's request. The sea lion waiving is what we call the condition response (CR), which was the response to the conditioned stimulus (CS) the trainer decided to utilize to get the sea lion to respond favorably. I would say the whistle could be the Neutral stimulus (NS), however, the scenario was not too clear on when the whistle was utilized, it just said "every time" he gave a fish as a reinforcement he blew the whistle and of coarse, as I just mentioned the fish, as well as the whistle, were the reinforcements.

The trainer began training the sea lion utilizing Fixed intervals. He used the fish and whistle as a reinforcement every time he complied by waiving to the crowd. Once the sea lion was at the condition response stage (CR), the trainer that utilized variable interval as the sea lion became more stabled and advanced in her waves to the crowed (coon & Mitterer, 2016) the trainer would limit as well as alternate the times the fish was given and the whistle was blown. I utilized operant conditioning when helping to potty train the emotional support therapy dog. We began by using a fixed ratio (FR), utilized the collar to train the dog to walk beside us without leaving our side. Once the dog complied with our request he was rubbed and given a treat as a reinforcement. We would repeat these steps every day until the therapy dog was at the conditioning response (CR) stage. We then began utilizing the variable interval (VI) and would sometimes rube him and other times give him treats. He became an excellent therapy dog.

COLLAPSE

The Trainer is using Operant Conditioning when training the sea lion. Operant conditioning is learning based on the consequences of responding (Coon & Mitterer, 2016). The sea lion waving is a conditioned response (CR) to the conditioned stimulus triggered by the trainer by using both the whistle and fish. Both the whistle and the fish are used as positive reinforcements to teach the sea lion how to wave on cue. The trainer uses both Fixed Ratio(FR) and Variable Interval(VI) while training the sea lion. In the beginning of the training the trainer would reward the sea lion with a fish every time she waved and blew the whistle at the same time (FR). As time went on and the sea lion progressed in its training, the trainer would alter the timing to when he would give the sea lion a fish or blew the whistle (VI) (Coon & Mitterer, 2016). I’m sure I’ve used this example before but I didn’t realize that I was conditioning my daughter until after I read the chapter but I conditioned my daughter while potty training her. Being that it had been so difficult to get her on the potty and use it properly I had to find a way to interest her in wanting to get on and use it. So while trying to potty train her I told her every time she uses the potty she’ll get a treat, and the treat could either be chips (which she is obsessed with), a happy dance with her favorite song, or both. I know the happy dance seems like it won’t work, but if you knew my child, she loves to dance and simple things like a dance and a cheer will make her happy. So as we proceeded with potty training in the beginning, I did both the treat and the happy dance, and as time went on and she started using the potty more and more, I would alternate the treat and the happy dance. After a while I didn’t have to do either anymore because she would use the potty without even telling me that she went

My wife and I use two different types of parenting styles. I am more of the authoritative and she
is more of the authoritarian. I am firm with the rules but I find it hard for myself to punish them
for their behavior. I try to have them pick how they should be punished My wife sets the rule and
she almost demands that the kids listen or they will be punished for what they do. They listen to
both of us but, they tend to go straight to her for answers. I feel it is so they know what is
expected so they don't get in trouble. She lays the rule out very clear and they know to not try to
bend those rules.
I think that it’s good to have two different parenting styles in the household. If both
parents ruled with an iron fist, that would not be a good environment for a child to grow
up in. I think it’s important that both parents are firm but fair with the rules.
