Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of parenting styles and their influence on children, particularly how they shape attitudes, values, and behaviors over time.
Recognize that personality traits and intelligence are influenced by both genetics and environment, but attitudes and values are more directly shaped by parental guidance and socialization.
