Correct Answer - Option 2 : Gradually
Child rearing practices are parenting practices that are the mechanisms through which parents directly help their children attain socialization goals. A child’s mind is considered a tabula rasa in that it is a clean slate and the parents can mold the child in any way they feel like.
- Parenting styles in western literature are defined as aggregates or constellations of behaviors that describe parent-child interactions over a wide range of situations and that are presumed to create a pervasive interactional climate.
-
Parent influences child's basic values, like religious values, and issues related to their future, like educational choices and their personality.
- As children mature, parent-child relationships naturally change. Children who have a healthy relationship with their parents develop a positive attitude and vice-versa.
- Thus, it is concluded that the mutual relationship of parents influences child's personality gradually.
