PARENTING STYLE INDICATOR

Overall, parenting styles can be analytical (sequential, logical, left brain dominant) or comprehensive (simultaneous, global, right brain dominant). Parents who are more left brained or analytical in their learning, may parent more by rules, lists, details, and structure. Those who are more right brained or comprehensive, may parent more by telling stories, drawing pictures, role playing or games with less structured. Although this is only a theory, there is ongoing research which looks at learning theories as they relate to brain dominance. Parents need to develop specific parenting styles related to the learning style of the child (children). This survey is designed to assist in the analysis of the way you parent and how you may be more effective. It is an excellent way for both parents to complete the checklist (two must be ordered) so an open discussion concerning parenting can happen. This is especially good when done with the BRAIN and LEARNING STYLES INDICATORS.
