Parenting Attitudes and Beliefs Quiz

Put a checkmark next to the ideas that most accurately reflect your own philosophy about parenting. This is to be used as a general guideline only. Answers do not necessarily reflect that you are a good or bad parent. They can help you to evaluate the beliefs and attitudes that your significant adults have passed on to you.

1.) I think children should be seen and not heard.

2.) I think children should be given one or two choices whenever possible.

3.) I want my child to feel as though his/her ideas are important to the rest of the family

4.) When I tell my child to do something he/she should do it because I said so. I am the parent, and don't always need to explain what I do.

5.) There is nothing wrong with a sharp swat on the rear when my child misbehaves

6.) I expect my child to do his/her best at whatever he/she attempts. I will support the effort when it is there, but will also talk about the times when I don't see effort shown.

7.) My child rarely hits, pushes, or bites other children in a group.

8.) I don't think it is right to push my child in any direction. He or she will have to find his/her own way in life.

9.) I don't mind compromising with my child as long as long as I am the one who is setting up the ground rules for negotiation.

10.) I would never apologize to my child for making a mistake. That would make me look fragile and undermine my authority as parent.

Statement 8 is more consistent with a style that has low expectations or a "hands off" policy.
